A Cleveland judge declared a mistrial on Tuesday in the murder trial of Tevin Biles-Thomas, the brother of the Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles, who was charged last year in the fatal shooting of three people at a New Year’s Eve party in 2018.
A new trial will begin on Wednesday with jury selection.
The surprise turn in her brother’s case comes days after Ms. Biles became the first woman in history to execute a Yurchenko double pike on vault — a dangerous and difficult move that drew praise from many, including LeBron James and Michelle Obama.
