- 1無效審判（法律用語；不是「誤判」）
A mistrial is a court trial that the judge stops because something went so wrong that the trial cannot fairly continue — or cannot fairly count. Then a new trial usually has to be held. Typical reasons: the jury heard something they were not allowed to hear; a lawyer or a witness broke a serious rule; or the jury cannot agree (a hung jury), and the judge may declare a mistrial. Though actually, losing a case is not a mistrial. “Unfair” here is a legal kind of unfair, not “I did not like the result.” Ordinary people meet the word on the news more than in daily talk. It belongs to courts, not to school tests or sports.
組成From mis- + trial. Mis- is an old English prefix meaning “wrongly” or “badly”; trial is the court process.
