Jury Deadlocked in Daniel Penny Manslaughter Trial Amid Lawsuit

The jury in Daniel Penny's trial for the manslaughter of Jordan Neely is deadlocked on the second-degree manslaughter charge, unable to reach a unanimous decision after over 18 hours of deliberation.

"Long Beach School Officer's Murder Trial Ends in Mistrial Due to Jury Deadlock"

Former Long Beach school officer Eddie F. Gonzalez's trial ends in a jury deadlock over whether he is guilty of murder or manslaughter for fatally shooting 18-year-old Manuela "Mona" Rodriguez in the back of the head as she fled a minor fight. Prosecutors argued that Gonzalez overreacted, while his defense claimed the shooting was a tragedy but not a crime. The jury split on the verdict, with seven jurors ready to convict him of murder and five of voluntary manslaughter. The possibility of a retrial remains open, and the district attorney's office is reviewing its options.

Federal prosecutors move to drop corruption charges against Andrew Gillum.

Federal prosecutors have asked a judge to dismiss the remaining corruption charges against Andrew Gillum, the Democratic nominee for Florida governor in 2018, after a jury deadlocked on all but one count following a trial earlier this month. Jurors acquitted Gillum of lying to the FBI but could not reach a verdict on more than a dozen fraud and conspiracy charges contending Gillum and his co-defendant diverted tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions for his personal use.
