Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[BREAKER098]

Ultimately, the decision to call it a day is in the judge's sound discretion. A jury initially being unable to reach a verdict is common, but when the jury comes back a second, third, or fifth time saying it can't reach a unanimous verdict (or whatever is required), the judge has to make a decision that further deliberation truly will be fruitless. Where one judge draws the line may be different from another judge.

And before the super ignorant come in and ask - NO, the judge cannot declare a verdict if the jury does not come to a unanimous decision. The judge can only declare a mistrial.

Plotwist - The jury deliberates for the rest of the their lives and the judge allows this - seriously wouldn't put it past all the craziness. J/K - this is going to hung jury / mistrial.
