If there is a hung jury, it means that the jury could not reach a unanimous decision. In this case, the case can be retried with a new jury. The other options are not applicable in this situation. The case cannot be dismissed because there has not been a decision reached. The judge cannot find in favor of the defendant or grant summary judgment because that would involve a decision being made without the jury reaching a unanimous agreement.
