Millsap jury said they were deadlocked, after polling, told to continue deliberations

 

Jury in Pamela Millsap's case came back at 12:01 p.m. Instead of a verdict on all counts, jurors were t Judge Kaleb Cockrum they were deadlocked on Count 1. After polling the jurors, he told them to continue deliberations. 

2:10 p.m. The jury is deadlocked on Count 1 voluntary manslaughter. They have a verdict on other counts. In a few minutes, verdicts will be read. Millsap was remanded into custody on a no bail status.

Trial confirmation for Count 1 only is scheduled for 8/10; jury trial on 9/11.

The jury hung 10 for guilty-2 on the voluntary manslaughter count. Guilty on the child abuse + gun charge and great bodily injury against Millsap's son Christopher. Guilty on child abuse and gun charge against Jane Doe.The jury did not find true any of the alleged aggravating factors. As I reported previously, the amended information filed now identifies Millsap's son by his name.

Jurors started deliberation on 7/19 in the afternoon. This is deja vu of the Sergio Lozano trial. In the last few months, there seems to be a few trials with spilt verdicts, with close spilt verdicts or jurors deadlocked on special allegations.

7/21 Court minutes:

8/10: Conflict Counsel made on oral motion to continue. People request a written motion. Another trial confirmation date scheduled for 8/29; jury trial on 9/11.

8/23: Conflict Counsel motion to continue  on 8/23 was continued to 8/24. It was granted. 8/29  and 9/11 dates were vacated. Trial confirmation rescheduled for 11/1 and jury trial for 11/27.
