Jury divided in Edwards corruption trial? As jury deliberations in the John Edwards trial continue well into their second week, legal analysts are beginning to wonder whether the panel has become deadlocked. Judge Catherine Eagles extended Wednesday's deliberations by a half-hour and plans to do the same the next day in order to allow jurors to recess early Friday -- to attend high school graduations and other family events. Jurors have provided Eagles with schedule requests through next week. Kieran Shanahan, a former federal prosecutor who's been watching the trial, said that could be a signal from dissenting jurors to other members of the panel "that they're resolute in the position and they'll stay as long as necessary." "Initially, it looked like the jury was just going to walk through each count," Shanahan said. They asked for every document associated with each count. But we're now in day eight. And I think it suggests there's division as to guilt or innocence among the jurors. Questions have been raised about the behavior of the jurors. Last week, the four alternate jurors began wearing color-coordinated shirts, with bright yellow shirts on Thursday followed by red on Friday. They took a break from the routine Tuesday but on Wednesday were back at it, wearing purple. Shanahan suggested the color-coordination was probably not a matter of concern. "I like to think it's these alternate jurors, sequestered away with literally nothing to do, but no pressure on them either," Shanahan said. So, good for them. I think they were just having a little bit of fun.
