A quick definition of hang:

Definition: When a group of people called a jury cannot agree on a decision in a trial, they are said to be hung. This means they are unable to reach a verdict. There are different types of juries, such as a grand jury that investigates crimes and a petit jury that decides the outcome of a specific case. Other types of juries include advisory, blue-ribbon, common, coroner's, death-qualified, fair and impartial, foreign, good, inquest, jury de medietate linguae, jury of indictment, jury of inquest, jury of matrons, jury of the vicinage, life-qualified, and mixed juries.

A more thorough explanation:

hang, verb. When a jury is unable to reach a verdict after deliberating for a long time. For example, "The jury was hung after 12 hours of continuous deliberation."

jury, noun. A group of people selected by law to decide questions of fact and return a verdict in a case. For example, "The jury found the defendant guilty of the crime."

Examples:

  • After several days of deliberation, the jury was hung and the judge declared a mistrial.
  • The defendant requested a fair and impartial jury for his trial.
  • A coroner's jury was summoned to investigate the cause of death.

These examples illustrate the different types of juries that can be involved in legal proceedings. A hung jury is one that cannot reach a verdict, while a fair and impartial jury is one that has no opinion about the case at the start of the trial. A coroner's jury is summoned to investigate the cause of death.
