Mynisha jury to resume deliberations Monday in Victorville
A jury in the trial for two men charged with the deadly shooting of 11-year-old Mynisha Crenshaw is expected to continue deliberations Monday morning in Victorville Superior Court.
Jurors did not deliberate Thursday or Friday because the judge was not available, court officials said.
The two defendants, Michael Barnett Jr. and Sinque Morrison, were part of a larger group of suspected gang members who sought revenge against a rival gang when shots were fired into the San Bernardino apartment where Mynisha lived with her family in November 2005, according to prosecutors.
Inside the apartment, Mynisha was eating dinner with her family. Mynisha was struck once in the chest, while her then 14-year-old sister was shot in the right arm - severing the bone.
Prosecutors have insisted the girls' family had no gang ties and no weapons. The girls were unintended victims.
Two co-defendants, Sidikiba Greenwood and Harold Phillips, were recently convicted and sentenced to state prison. Eight other defendants have taken plea bargains, of which three are awaiting sentencing.
