CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—The jury in the trial of a former Harvard graduate student charged with manslaughter has gone home for the night without reaching a decision.
The jury resumed deliberations one day after declaring itself deadlocked.
Jurors in the trial of Alexander Pring-Wilson of Colorado Springs, Colo., told Middlesex Superior Court Judge Christopher Muse on Monday that they had been unable to reach a verdict after six days of deliberations.
On Tuesday, the judge asked jurors to go back and try again to reach a unanimous verdict. Deliberations are scheduled to resume Wednesday morning.
Pring-Wilson was convicted of manslaughter in October 2004 in the death of 18-year-old Michael Colono during a street fight.
The 29-year-old was granted a new trial after the state’s highest court ruled juries should be allowed to consider a victim’s violent history if it’s relevant to a self-defense claim.
