Summary:

The jury completed its first full deliberation day without a verdict, was excused for the weekend, and is scheduled to resume Monday, August 31, at 9:00 a.m. ET.

Body:

[VERIFIED FACT] Judge William Sullivan brought the 12 deliberating jurors and six alternates into court shortly before 4 p.m., said it had been a long day, and excused them until Monday, August 31, at 9:00 a.m. ET. He repeated the instruction not to discuss the case or deliberations and not to read or listen to outside material. [VERIFIED FACT] The jury had deliberated for approximately 10.5 hours across Thursday afternoon and Friday, according to CBS Boston, without returning a verdict. [VERIFIED FACT] No verdict, mistrial, or indefinite stay occurred on Trial Day 23, so the archive automation remains active. [UNKNOWN] Deliberation duration does not establish deadlock, unanimity, the direction of discussion, or a likely verdict.

Structured claims:
- [verified_fact] Shortly before 4 p.m., Judge Sullivan excused the 12 deliberating jurors and six alternates until Monday, August 31, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern and repeated the instruction to avoid discussion and outside information.
