\n

On Wednesday, jurors informed the judge they had reached an impasse in the sentencing phase. They were brought into the courtroom during an afternoon hearing, where the judge instructed them to resume deliberations and continue working toward a verdict.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

By 4 p.m., the jury was still at an impasse and the judge declared a mistrial<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Under Arizona law, jurors must agree unanimously to impose the death penalty.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The latest developments follow a disruption in proceedings a day earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

On Tuesday, a juror was removed from the panel after making a comment, the details of which have not been disclosed. An alternate juror was then seated, and the panel was instructed to begin deliberations anew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
