TL;DR Summary

The jury in the trial of a Baltimore teen accused of fatally shooting a man who confronted a group of squeegee workers with a baseball bat last July will continue deliberations for another day after struggling to reach a consensus. The trial, which has racial, socioeconomic, and political undertones, has seen arguments from both the prosecution and defense regarding the teen's guilt. The jury must determine if the shooting was premeditated murder or an act of self-defense. The verdict could result in a maximum sentence of life in prison or a transfer to juvenile court for sentencing. The case relies heavily on video evidence, but witnesses have been unable to identify the shooter.
