The panel has been attempting to come to a unanimous decision for just over 23 hours since they started last Thursday. They informed Judge William Sullivan they were at an impasse yesterday around 10 a.m., but he told them to keep at it.
The jury is deliberating whether the 36-year-old Duxbury mom should be held criminally responsible for first-degree murder for strangling her three kids, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, with exercise bands on Jan. 24, 2023.

The jurors have been released to continue deliberations after a brief delay this morning so the judge could question the panel one by one.
“I know when I just spoke to all of you two minutes ago I said I have one question,” Judge William Sullivan said. “I have two more questions.”
The judge asked the panelists the same questions he has asked them at the start of each day: whether they have “read, seen or heard” anything that would affect their ability to be fair and impartial jurors and whether they had any other concern they needed to disclose.
“Thank you so much for following those instructions,” Sullivan said. “I’m going to ask you to go resume your deliberations at this time.”
The jurors are now in their 23rd hour of deliberations.

Judge William Sullivan questioned the jurors one-by-one at sidebar Wednesday morning.
No one else in the courtroom could hear what the judge was saying because of a white noise machine that blocks out sidebar conversations.
A court officer escorted each panelist into the room and then they were asked to raise their hands and take an oath before he questioned them.
They each appeared to answer no and shake their heads at the question.
It took about 10 minutes for each one to be queried.

When asked of Reddington would file a motion for mistrial based on Light’s alleged actions he said: “No, why?”
