Elizabeth Holmes jury says they're deadlocked on 3 counts; judge sends them back for more deliberations
CBSN
The jury weighing fraud charges against former entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes is unable to reach a unanimous verdict on three of the 11 criminal counts she faces, according to a note from the panel read aloud in court.
After conferring with lawyers for the defense and prosecution, U.S. District Judge Edward Davila sent for the jury in order to give what is called an "Allen charge," essentially an appeal from a judge to encourage a jury to deliberate further.
Once the jury returned, Davila instructed its members to do their best to reach a verdict, noting that they should re-examine their own views and change their opinions if persuaded it is wrong. He also reminded them that charges must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
