Is a hung jury a possibility in the John Edwards trial?

Posted

(WTVR) - Today is the eighth day of jury deliberations in the John Edwards campaign corruption trial.

Tuesday's session began with a closed-door meeting with the judge.

For a second straight day, the judge has ordered the jury to not discuss the case in small groups or outside the courtroom.

Some speculate the drawn out deliberations could be a sign of a hung jury.

CBS 6 legal analyst Todd Stone says, there is no need to rush to any conclusions, anything could have the jury in prolonged deliberations.
