Lindsey Schmidt, 29, and her sons 6-year-old Owen, 4-year-old Weston, and 1-year-old Kalab died after a car crash near south suburban Beecher. They are seen in a family photo with Lindsey's husband, Eddie. Prosecutors have said Woulfe was going more than 20 mph over the 55 mph limit when he ran a stop sign on July 24, 2017, in unincorporated Beecher, hitting Schmidt's 2014 Subaru Outback, which rolled over into a field.
Schmidt's family held up their hands and said they were not ready to talk about the mistrial after the jury deadlocked. "What is really highly unusual about this case is the jury came back and said, 'judge, we are deadlocked, and by the way, we're deadlocked with 11 of us are saying guilty and one of us is saying not guilty. That's totally improper procedure. Nobody is supposed to know what the split is; whether it's 11-1 guilty, 11-1 not guilty, you're not supposed to know," Miller said.
