Jurors said Monday they were still deadlocked in the trial of seven Miami men accused of plotting to blow up Chicago's Sears Tower and bomb FBI offices, but a federal judge ordered the panel to continue deliberating.
US District Judge Joan Lenard denied a defense motion for a mistrial, instead calling the panel into court and reading a jury instruction designed to bring the case to a resolution.
"It is your duty to agree upon a verdict if you can do so," Lenard told the jury of six men and six women, who have been debating the group's guilt or innocence for six days.
