A mistrial has been declared in the legal battle between Nicollette Sheridan and ABC.
The judge on Monday polled the jury, which said no further
deliberation would make a difference. The jurors said they were split 8
to 4 in favor of Sheridan in her wrongful-termination lawsuit over her
firing from the hit dramedy.
The news, announced by Judge Elizabeth Allen White
in Los Angeles Superior Court, brings a bizarre end to a strange trial
over whether Sheridan’s character of Edie Britt was killed off Housewives in retaliation for the actress complaining about being struck in the head by series creator/executive producer Marc Cherry.
