Jurors agree on single count in John Edwards trial. Judge sends them back for more deliberation

(Wikipedia) The Washington Post reports:

The jury in the John Edwards campaign corruption trial has reached a verdict on one of six counts, but is apparently deadlocked on the others.

The judge told the jury Thursday that she understood that the panel had reached a verdict on all counts, and the jury foreman said no.

Prosecutors argued that the jury should keep deliberating and the defense asked for the verdict on the one count and a mistrial on the others.

The jury said it had reached a verdict on a single count of taking illegal campaign contributions. Those came in the form of payments from Rachel "Bunny" Mellon. That verdict was not announced.

The U.S. District Court judge in the case, Catherine C. Eagles, has sent the jury back for more deliberation.
