A judge in a Douglas County Sweet 16 murder case says a note he got seems to indicate the jury is having a tough time reaching a verdict.
“I can say I’ve never gotten a note like this before,” Chief Superior Court Judge William Beau McClain said in court.
The judge seemed taken aback by the note. He read the note in court:
“It says is it possible to go over our duties and responsibilities again,” the judge read.
Judge McClain thought the note indicated the jurors were having a difficult time reaching a verdict.
“I’m going to make an educated guess that there’s trouble involving one or more jurors,” he said.
