Baltimore (CNN)[Breaking news alert, posted at 3:42 p.m. ET Wednesday]

The judge has declared a mistrial in the case of Baltimore police Officer William Porter after jurors said they were deadlocked and unable to reach a unanimous verdict on any of the four charges against him.Porter was one of six officers charged in connection with the death of Freddie Gray.

Prosecutors will decide whether to re-try the case.

The judge told the prosecution and defense attorneys to appear in administrative court Thursday morning to set a new trial date.

A defense attorney declined to comment, saying he was subject to a court gag order.

Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby was in court when the mistrial was declared and looked visibly upset. Prosecutors appeared exasperated.

Jason Hanna wrote in Atlanta. CNN's Catherine E. Shoichet, Ed Payne, Mariano Castillo and Carolyn Sung contributed to this report.

16 hour deliberation seems short to call a hung jury.

mosby is worthless--no doubt the first in a string of mistrials--another media event where the narrative twisted the facts and inflamed the public
