The jury deliberating the fate of Lillo Brancato Jr. told the judge they were deadlocked yesterday. The jury said, via a note, that their vote was 11 to 1; NY1 reports, "The judge re-read instructions on deliberation to the divided jury and advised the jurors to come back at 9:30 a.m. Friday to continue deliberating." Brancato faces murder charges for the 2005 shooting of off-duty police officer Daniel Enchautegui. Earlier yesterday, a juror was replaced—according to the Daily News, Marvin Gittens ignored the judge's directions and "took notes throughout the trial and researched the case on the internet." Another juror told the judge about Gittens' behavior. This the second juror to be replaced; two weeks ago, one left because he was arrested for "allegedly punching his teen-age stepson in the face."
