A judge has declared a mistrial in the corruption case of Linda Sun, of Manhasset – a former aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul.

After the jury restarted deliberations Monday morning, they were unable to reach a verdict on charges she sold her influence to the Chinese government and illegally profited from the state’s bulk purchase of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic.

When asked by the judge whether they had reached a verdict, the jury foreman replied that they were deadlocked on all 19 counts, according to the DOJ Press office.

“Your honor, after extensive deliberations and redeliberations, the jury remains unable to reach a unanimous verdict. The jurors positions are firmly held,” the jury said in a note to the judge.

During deliberations, which began on Friday, Dec. 12, there were three notes including, the one Monday, from the jury indicating they were deadlocked.

Sun, who held numerous posts in New York state government before rising to the rank of deputy chief of staff for Hochul, was arrested last year along with her husband at their $3.5 million home in Manhasset during a U.S. crackdown on alleged Chinese secret agents. They were charged again in June as part of the government’s efforts to root out pandemic fraud.

She was also the deputy diversity officer under former Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

A status conference for next steps is scheduled for Jan. 26. as prosecutors plan to retry the case.
