“[A]ny claim that the trial court lacked the power to grant a directed verdict (or judgment notwithstanding the fact that the jury was unable to agree) at any time after mistrial, is directly contrary to the holding of [ State v. ]Russell [, 358 So.2d 409 (Miss.1978) ] and the spirit of [ State v. ]Thornhill [, 251 Miss. 718 , 171 So.2d 308 (1965) ].”
