Jury deadlocked in Daniel Penny trial
The jury in the Daniel Penny trial told the judge they couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict on the first charge of second-degree manslaughter, prompting the judge to issue an Allen charge urging them to make every effort to agree. One of the jurors was seen rolling his eyes as the instructions were read. The judge reiterated the responsibility of the jurors to reach a decision, explaining that "deliberations were not intended to be easy," but that they should "harmonize" their views and reach a decision.
