Breaking news. There is a hung jury in the Daniel Penny case on the first count of manslaughter.

Dan Crenshaw has weighed in, and I'm sure there will be more reaction.
In response, Judge Maxwell Wiley directed the jurors to keep deliberating in an attempt to reach a unanimous decision in what is known as an Allen charge.

The Assistant DA is considering dropping the case, resulting in a de facto acquittal.
