🚨 BREAKING: The Lindsay Clancy jury has ONCE AGAIN sent a note to the judge saying they're DEADLOCKED The judge is now reading them a Tuey-Rodriguez charge, and will send them BACK to deliberate again Here's what a Tuey-Rodriguez charge entails, as read by the judge: - A jury verdict is the principal way facts are decided in a criminal case. - Absolute certainty cannot be expected. - Each juror’s verdict must reflect their own convictions, not mere agreement with the majority. - Jurors should listen with an open mind and give proper respect to others’ opinions. - It is desirable that the case be decided. - There is no reason to think another jury would be more intelligent, impartial, or competent, or that better evidence would appear. - Jurors have a duty to decide the case if they can conscientiously do so. - The Commonwealth still bears the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
