Mistrial Declared After Lawyer Failed to Finish Closing Argument reports the AP (on law.com), Jan. 29, 2007.
The defense lawyer in an attempted murder case in Farmville, VA, returned to the courtroom after a recess and said that he couldn't continue his closing argument because he had lost his train of thought. The defendant offered to finish the argument himself. The presiding judge declared a mistrial and recommended that the lawyer, a 74-year-old former judge, seek medical treatment.
