Around 5:30 p.m. the jury asked a question of Judge Webster: "How long do we have to deliberate if a unanimous decision has not been reached on all charges."
The answer from Webster: "If you have reached a unanimous decision as to any charge, as to any one or more of the defendants, if you like, you can announce said decision now, or any time you wish. You can then continue deliberating on the remaining charges and/or defendants for as long as you like."
Update 6:29 Jury has reached a partial verdict. Details to come.

My feeling is that Melton will be found guilty of at least one charge, but will, some way or another, avoid jail time. It DOES seem that the majority of the people of Jackson (even an aunt of mine who I thought was smarter) blindly support this man irregardless of his indiscrepancies and obvious ineptitude. This AMAZES me.

Wow... the defense attorney is a little angry... telling judge what to instruct as to whether jury should deliberate more and not give partial verdicts.

So... what do ya'll think? I'm thinking that the last one is a not guilty, and the other verdicts are guilty. That's what I got from that.

I served on a jury where this happened. It makes the jurors angry, and the compromising begins in earnest. People are tired, they want to go home.

It ain't over till it's over. But, what do you make of the fact that the jury just walked in didn't llok at either side, nor Melton, just straight at the Judge? They walked in quickly without looking and left quickly without looking.

Coxwell wants to send them back in hopes that they may reconsider the 10 counts that they have decided. I think it is a done deal.

LawClerk & Ole Miss, Explain your comments. I hope you're right, but I don't understand how you got that.
