Trial takes dramatic turn after juror says she doesn't agree with manslaughter verdict
CBSN
A jury in South Florida delivered a manslaughter verdict, only to have its decision rescinded moments later when a juror said she didn't agree. The Broward County jury was ordered to return to the jury room on Wednesday to try to agree on the fate of Dayonte Resiles, who is accused of killing Jill Halliburton Su in 2014, CBS Miami reported.
Jurors deliberated for four full days after the three-week trial, and sent questions to Broward Circuit Judge John J. Murphy on Monday and Tuesday before signaling they had reached a verdict.
They were trying to decide between manslaughter — which could carry a maximum sentence of 30 years — or first-degree murder, which in the case of Resiles, 27, could result in the death penalty.
