We have rejected the analysis in our original opinion that required the trial court as a matter of law, given the pleadings in this case, to disburse the registry funds to the landlord. We should reconsider, however, whether Temple — which precludes automatic release of those funds to a prevailing tenant — nonetheless permits discretionary release to such a tenant without a McNeal hearing, thereby obviating the need for a jury trial in some cases.
