Collins told the jurors they could go downstairs to the jury room if they wanted to speak with news reporters, but none did.

Earlier in the day, Collins had instructed the jurors to continue to deliberate after they sent several notes to the court on Tuesday that they were deadlocked.

"Judge Collins, we are a hung jury, on both charges and are unsure what the next steps are," the first note said. "Please continue to deliberate," Collins told them.

They later sent a second note saying that they had come to a decision that they would not be able to reach a unanimous decision, to which Collins asked if they could return Wednesday to try again.

After they sent a third note saying "we are all in agreement we will not reach an agreement regardless of how much more time we spend deliberating," Collins told them to return Wednesday to receive further instructions.

Chapman asked for a mistrial Wednesday morning saying asking jurors to continue to deliberate after they had said several times they were deadlocked would be coercive, but Collins denied his motion. The jury had deliberated for 14.5 hours, Collins said, on a case that went on for 13 full days and included close to 100 hours of testimony.
