Soledad Jury Deadlocks in Soledad Brothers Trial
The all white jury of nine women and three men reports a 9-3 deadlock after 12 hours of deliberation. Judge S Lee Vavaris allows three more hours and orders sequestering for a third night as security remains tight.

Prosecution witnesses testified Jackson beat guard John V Mills in January 1970, placing Clutchette and Drumgo at the scene.
