Jury Reconvenes Next Week in Baltimore Police Corruption Trial

Baltimore Police Badge

BALTIMORE (AP) - A jury deciding the fate of two Baltimore detectives deliberated for a few hours but has not reached a decision.

U.S. District Court Judge Catherine Blake has released the jurors until Monday morning. There have not been court sessions on Fridays during the trial and she decided to stick with that schedule.

The jury of nine women and three men asked two questions during their Thursday deliberations.

There were 32 witnesses introduced by the government during the nearly three-week trial in U.S. District Court in Baltimore.

That included testimony from four ex-detectives who detailed astonishing levels of police criminality after reaching plea agreements with the government.
