2nd mistrial for Ashanti ‘stalker’

- Rebecca Rosenberg

A Manhattan judge was forced to declare a mistrial for the second time Thursday in the case against the accused stalker of the singer Ashanti, who represente­d himself at trial once again.

After two days of deliberati­on, the jury couldn’t reach a unanimous decision on whether Devar Hurd was guilty of felony stalking.

At his first trial, a judge declared a mistrial after a juror got sick.

Hurd, 36, allegedly sent hundreds of sexually explicit tweets to the singer.
