Jury still puzzled as Berrigan case stalls in Harrisburg
A deadlocked jury in Harrisburg continues deliberations on nine counts of a 10 count indictment against Rev. Philip Berrigan and six other peace activists. The panel again asked for rereads of Judge Herman's conspiracy charge and parts of FBI witness Boyd Douglas testimony. Foreman Harold Sheets said the jurors would request specific passages for clarification. Berrigan had been convicted on one count for smuggling a letter from Lewisburg federal penitentiary, facing up to 10 years more, on top of a six year term already serving.
