Carson gas station double murder - hung jury?
After about a week of deliberating whether or not 17-year-old Eric Sanford is guilty of murder and the special circumstances of killing during an attempted robbery, the jury told Compton Superior Court Judge William Chidsey late Monday they are stuck. Chidsey told them to keep deliberating, and they return today to do so.
The jury deciding co-defendant Adam Loza's case is on a one-week hiatus, and will resume deliberations Monday.
Sanford, Loza, 24, and another man who will go on trial later this month are charged with killing two clerks at a Carson Mobil Mart on Nov. 4, 2006.
