Jury deadlocked on most charges in Philadelphia church sex abuse trial PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - The jury in the child sex abuse case of Philadelphia Monsignor William Lynn said on Wednesday it was deadlocked on most of the charges filed against the highest-ranking U.S. clergyman to stand trial in the Roman Catholic church's pedophilia scandal. The jury, in its 12th day of deliberations, sent a note to Judge M. Teresa Sarmina reading: "We the jury are at a hung jury status on all charges except for one." "Please advise us as to our next step," it said. The judge, who read the note aloud in the courtroom, conferred with prosecutors and defense attorneys as to the next step. Lynn, 61, is accused of conspiracy and child endangerment. Prosecutors say in his job overseeing hundreds of priests in the Philadelphia Archdiocese, he covered up child sex abuse allegations, often by transferring priests named in the claims to unsuspecting parishes. The jury heard 10 weeks of testimony and began deliberating on June 1. Prosecutors say his motive was to avoid scandal and any potential loss of donations to the archdiocese, the nation's sixth largest with 1.5 million members. It said Lynn was hampered because he could make only recommendations to the head of the archdiocese, Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua, who died in January at age 88.
