The jury in the Fieldbrook double murder trial deadlocked 9-3 in favor of guilt this afternoon and a new trial date has been set for Dec. 14.
Lake County resident Jason Michael Arreaga, 30, is accused of two counts of murder in the fatal shooting of Harley Wayne Hammers Jr. and Angel Robin Tully, both 37, on Sept. 3, 2014, at a property in Fieldbrook. Arreaga pleaded not guilty.
Arreaga took the stand during the trial, pointing to Harley Hammers’ estranged wife Shavonne Hammers as the shooter.
Shavonne Hammers, who was given immunity by the prosecution, testified earlier in the trial that she asked Arreaga to give her a ride from Lucerne to Humboldt County. After a day of drug-fueled interactions in Fieldbrook, Blue Lake and McKinleyville, Shavonne Hammers testified Arreaga shot her estranged husband and Tully following an altercation between the groups earlier that day.
One juror explained outside the courtroom that they deadlocked due to the bulk of evidence coming from witness testimony.

EUREKA >> A Lake County man was found not guilty Tuesday of murder charges in the shooting deaths of two people in Fieldbrook in September 2014.
A Humboldt County Superior Court jury acquitted Jason Michael Arreaga of fatally shooting Angel Robin Tully and Harley Wayne Hammers, both 37, on Sept. 3, 2014, in front of a residence on Fieldbrook Road.
The trial was the second for Arreaga after a mistrial was declared in October when another jury could not reach a unanimous verdict and deadlocked at 9-3 in favor of convicting him.
Arreaga remained in the Humboldt County jail on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance while in custody.
One of the key witnesses for the prosecution in the case was Hammers’ estranged wife Shavonne Hammers, who was at the scene of the shooting with Arreaga’s 17-year-old girlfriend. Shavonne Hammers has testified that she did not witness the shooting but said Arreaga confessed to her that he had shot the couple as they were driving away from the scene.
Arreaga has testified that Shavonne Hammers pulled the trigger. She was given immunity by the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office in exchange for her testimony.
The defense was primarily focused on showing that Shavonne Hammers had the motive to kill the couple as her husband was in a relationship with Tully.
Sherrie Barr, Hammers’ sister, said she and her family members are in shock over the verdict and the lack of justice they feel.
“I feel like the DA totally dropped the ball on this,” Barr said. “I really don’t understand why it’s gone this far and she (Shavonne Hammers) hasn’t been charged.”
District Attorney Maggie Fleming said the investigation uncovered no evidence indicating that Shavonne Hammers was legally responsible for the slayings.
“In order to secure her needed testimony for trial, she was given a grant of ‘use’ immunity, which does not preclude prosecution for any crimes related to the homicides in the future,” Fleming said in an email. “It merely prohibits law enforcement from using her testimony, or information gained from that testimony, in any future proceedings.”
Sheriff Mike Downey said he met with the investigators in the case after the verdict was reached, and they were confident with their case against Arreaga.
“The case was very clear-cut during the investigative process,” Downey said.
No other suspects are being investigated in connection with the slayings, Downey said.
