A mistrial was recently declared in the trial for a Virginia woman charged with practicing unlicensed dentistry, WAVY reported March 3.
Cristina Caro-Valencia is facing multiple charges of practicing dentistry without a license. On the second day of the trial, a member of the jury informed the judge, prosecutors and Ms. Caro-Valencia’s lawyer that another juror admitted to searching for information on the case online. This led the judge to declare a mistrial and release the jurors.
A new trial date will be set later this month, WAVY reported.
