The second day of the retrial against Mashkhal Ibrahim, for the alleged hit-and-run of former JMU student Jared Antle, kicked off at roughly 9 a.m. this morning.Â
Ibrahim, 29, is being charged with felony hit-and-run charges and pled not guilty. Ibrahim allegedly hit Antle with a black Honda Pilot on Aug. 24, 2018, before fleeing the scene. The retrial began Wednesday morning after a mistrial in December 2019, when the original jury couldnât reach a verdict.Â
The day began when Judge Thomas J. Wilson IV pulled JMU President Jonathan Alger from the jury. He said this was due to Alger being named in local media, including The Breeze and the Daily News-Record.
