Judge sends Gurney jury back for more
In Tampa the jury in the bribery conspiracy trial of former U.S. Sen. Edward Gurney and three associates says it is unanimously deadlocked on some counts. Judge Ben Krentzman orders further deliberations, citing the case’s importance and the trial’s time and cost. The jurors delivered a note saying verdicts could not be reached on all charges. It is unclear if counts against Gurney or co defendants remain unresolved. The defendants face charges including conspiracy in an FHA influence peddling scheme, bribery and making false statements.
