WASHINGTON — Jurors deliberating the fate of five Proud Boys charged with seditious conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol appear to be struggling with the charges against at least some of the defendants.
The jury sent a note to U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly Tuesday morning asking for additional instruction, asking what to do if they do not agree on all charges. “We did not receive instructions on what to do if the jury does not reach unanimity on a charge. How should we proceed in this scenario?” the note stated, in part.
The jury began deliberating on Wednesday and did not deliberate on Friday morning, meaning they spent roughly the equivalent of three full days considering the case before sending the note.
Kelly ultimately sent a note back to the jury, telling them that they were allowed to deliver a partial verdict and saying to send him a note if they ended up in a situation where they were deadlocked on a charge.
