Summary:

The jury reported Tuesday morning that it had not reached a unanimous decision; Judge Sullivan did not declare a mistrial or give the formal Tuey-Rodriguez charge and instead directed further deliberations.

Body:

[VERIFIED FACT] On the fourth deliberation day, the jury sent a morning note reporting that after many hours it had not reached a unanimous decision. Judge William Sullivan brought the jury into court and directed it to continue deliberating, citing the length of the trial, more than 80 witnesses, and more than 300 exhibits. [VERIFIED FACT] The court did not declare a mistrial or deliver the formal Massachusetts Tuey-Rodriguez impasse instruction during this morning appearance. [UNKNOWN] At the archive's 12:05 p.m. ET cutoff, deliberations were continuing and no verdict had been announced. The note does not reveal the numerical split, the disputed count or legal issue, any juror's position, or whether the panel will ultimately agree. [UNKNOWN] The public proceeding added no testimony or evidence about staging or third-party participation; an impasse note does not implicate Patrick Clancy, Rachel Danis, or anyone else.
