Summary
Friday morning, jurors in D.C. Council member Trayon White Sr.’s bribery trial told the court they could not reach a unanimous verdict.
2 days into deliberations, U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras ordered the panel to continue, saying they had “not been deliberating for that long” after a week-long trial.
White is charged with taking thousands of dollars in cash from a contractor who performed work for the District of Columbia.
The impasse leaves the case unresolved for now, with the next step hinging on whether jurors can break the deadlock or force a mistrial.
