On November 2, 2021, jurors got the case. Two days later they had reached a verdict. The jury found him guilty on making false reports to authorities, but they were deadlocked on the other kidnapping and murder counts. The judge declared a mistrial on those counts. "I realize the jury was unable to reach a verdict on the other counts and that is a perfectly acceptable way for a trial to conclude," Judge Timothy Kerns told the court. Prosecutors have announced they will seek a new trial on the murder and kidnapping counts. Steven Pankey is still in custody awaiting a new trial date. 陪审团裁定潘琦作伪证罪名成立,谋杀和绑架没有达成一致使罪名不成立。检察官将要对谋杀和绑架提出新的指控,潘琦还在被关押等待庭审
