Recall that Judge Norman Moon on Friday excused a juror whose children had been exposed to COVID at school and were told to quarantine at home. He was unvaccinated, Moon said, and thus dismissed because of the need to ensure the health of the jury. So 11 jurors now (on 6 needed).
Uh oh. Question from the jury to Judge Moon now: 'If we cannot come to a unanimous decision on the first three claims, do we still need to come to an agreement on claims four, five, and six?' Moon says he's going to ask them to keep working to agree on all six claims.
Almost 5pm and no verdict yet. We are told the jury has another question for Judge Moon. Stand by.
The last we heard from the jury they were having some difficulty with the claims and had a question about unanimous decisions.

Oh. It turns out no question. Judge Moon excuses the jury for the day. They will return tomorrow to continue deliberations in Sines v Kessler.
