Jurors In Baltimore Police Trial Say They're Deadlocked

On the second day of deliberations in the trial of a Baltimore police officer who's accused of involuntary manslaughter and other charges in the death of Freddie Gray, the jury sent a note to the judge saying they're deadlocked.

Judge Barry G. Williams instructed the jurors to keep working toward a verdict after receiving that note Tuesday afternoon, reports NPR's Jennifer Ludden. The panel began its deliberations in the trial of officer William Porter Monday afternoon.

Williams told jurors to reach a compromise if they can do so "without violence to your individual judgment," Jennifer says. Williams also urged them to reexamine their views of the case.
