Compromises Refused by Jurors in Fried Trial
Seven jurors voted for conviction in Max Fried white slavery case and pressed for a conviction or a new indictment while five held out. After 22 hours and 100 ballots the jury split 7 to 5 for conviction on the first ballot and later 10 to 2 on the eleventh indictment. A plan to find guilt on new charges was rejected. The jury, exhausted, finally stood 7 to 5 to convict across 12 counts, with delayed verdicts and secrecy debates surrounding their votes. Federal officials pursue retrial in Great Falls.
