The 11-member jury in Richard Alexander’s first-degree murder trial returned to court Wednesday afternoon to tell the judge they were deadlocked.
A B.C. Supreme Court jury deliberating the fate of former Devil’s Army president Richard Alexander told the judge Wednesday afternoon that it had failed to reach a unanimous verdict, and asked for help on how to proceed.
“Often juries are able to reach agreement when they are given more time,” said Gaul, who asked the jurors to keep an open mind and to listen carefully to one another. “This case may be one of those occasions in which it is not possible for you to reach a unanimous verdict. That will not reflect badly on you providing you made an honest effort to judge the case to the best of your abilities.”
“If after further deliberations and a genuine and honest second try to reach a unanimous verdict, you are of the view that further deliberations would be useless or futile, then let me know in a note and I’ll assemble the court and we’ll take the next step.”
