Priests on trial get hung jury so far...

Two "Priests can do no wrong" holdouts.

PHILADELPHIA — A jury deliberating a sex abuse trial involving a high-ranking official in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia has been ordered to deliberate further to overcome a stalemate on four of the five charges.

Common Pleas Judge M. Teresa Sarmina told jurors she might let them rehear portions of testimony from the two accusers if it would help them reach consensus.

The other way, the judge would not be bothering to send it back for further deliberations.

They also were hung on all other charges.

You can safely assume nothing about a jury.
