see ya in the funny papers.
it's quite rare for an attny. to put a guilty client on the stand where they can be cross-examined/impeached under oath.
It is possible for the judge to accept a verdict on some counts if they cannot agree on all.
in the event of a mistrial, the Feds are more likely to spend the money to retry a high-profile case in which they have invested so much investigation and gathered a huge amount of evidence.
