is known as a sawyer charge. he instructed them to try again, to listen to each other, whether or not there's only a couple of them who are stuck on one side of the equation, and to consider changing their vote if that doesn't violate their conscience. he was trying to remind this jury that they had a duty to come to a unanimous decision so long as that didn't violate their conscience. the judge wanted to remind both sides before he brought the jury back that what could happen next. if this jury remains stuck, we don't know how long that might be, we don't know how long he'll let them continue, but if they come back and say that they cannot reach a final decision on all of these counts, he told them he would consider obviously accepting a partial verdict. obviously we don't know which particular counts they've reached their decision on. we don't know which side of this they've come down on. so there's still a great deal of mystery for the defense and for the prosecution in this case.
