Jurors ordered to continue deliberations, as reasonable adults
Cayer: Bring jury back into courtroom. Read the note in their presence to indicate I've received the note, then instruct them 101.40, which says they should reconcile their differences and try to reach a verdict. However, you should not surrender your opinion for the purpose of a verdict, Cayer said.
Wow. So, the jurors can't decide. It sounds like some jurors are being unreasonable and won't waiver their opinion, and don't want to deliberate any more. But Cayer is making go back in there. He's giving them 30 minutes, so we will go a little over today, until 5:15, then if there's no verdict, he will send them home until tomorrow. Wow. It took all day, but something finally happened. Will we get a verdict today? They have 30 minutes. I'll be back.
