GEORGETOWN, Del.- A mistrial has been declared in the state's case against Shawn Armstrong, the man charged and convicted in last year's bicycle crash that led to the death of longtime WBOC owner Thomas Draper.

In September, a jury found Armstrong guilty of operation of a vehicle causing the death of another person and inattentive driving in connection with the Sept. 7, 2017 incident that occurred in Slaughter Beach outside of Milford. A late October sentencing was postponed. The mistrial was declared during an office conference with attorneys from both sides and Judge E. Scott Bradley.

A reason for the mistrial has not been made public yet. When reached by telephone late Wednesday evening, defense attorney Michael Abram declined to comment. A spokesperson for the Delaware courts says after a mistrial, the state can decide to take the case back to trial, drop the case, or create another plea deal.
