The Jury cannot reach a unanimous decision, Judge is calling for an "Allen Charge". (Allen Charge = jury told to go back and whoever does not agree asked to reconsider again to prevent a mistrial) Judge is working out the wording he will give to Jury.
Jury went home at 5pm and are back tomorrow to see if they can reach agreement. If not then I guess it will be a mistrial and we will have to go through it all over again.
The difference hopefully will be that if we do have to have another trial then next time the prosecution will present a better case than it did this time. Someone ought to suggest that they bring the Whistle-blowers in to give evidence, as well as putting a few more victims up there to spell it out to the Jury that we were lied to, misled, given false information and shown false documents.
