Deliberations in a murder trial have stalled. A defendant is accused of killing three young children. The case has been underway, with jurors beginning their discussions last week after hearing final arguments. They have reported being unable to reach a decision twice, including once this week.

Further discussions are planned. Jurors were told to continue their work after receiving guidance on how to handle a deadlock.

A verdict has not been reached yet, with jurors scheduled to resume their discussions. The potential outcome for the defendant, if found guilty, is life in prison without parole.
