BOONVILLE — As juror deliberations stretch into the 30th hour, David Camm’s attorneys and family members said Thursday afternoon they believe the jury could be deadlocked.
“I think they’re dug in,” said Sam Lockhart, Camm’s uncle.
Earlier Katharine “Kitty” Liell, lead defense attorney, said she also believed jurors could be split, but said the jury had not sent out any notes or otherwise indicated that was the case.
Floyd County Prosecutor Keith Henderson hadn’t made an appearance at the courthouse as of late Thursday afternoon.
Jurors, who have been sequestered since deliberations began, met at the Warrick County Judicial Center for the third day beginning at 9:30 a.m. EST.
If the jury is having trouble reaching a concensus, here is what will happen according to the Indiana Rules of Court:
“If the jury advises the court that it has reached an impasse in its deliberations, the court may, but only in the presence of counsel, and, in a criminal case the parties, inquire of the jurors to determine whether and how the court and counsel can assist them in their deliberative process.
After receiving the jurors’ response, if any, the court, after consultation with counsel, may direct that further proceedings occur as appropriate.”
Unless the jury reaches a verdict, they are expected to continue deliberating until about 10 p.m. EST Thursday and start again at 9:30 a.m. EST Friday.
