Britney Spears Jury Ordered To Keep Deliberating

Britney Spears In Court


LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jurors in Britney Spears' driving case say they can't reach an unanimous verdict. A judge ordered the panel to resume deliberations.

The jury deliberated less than two hours Monday at a San Fernando Valley courthouse. They posed two questions, including one that sought to clarify what Spears was charged with.

Shortly after being read more instructions, jurors indicated they were deadlocked.

The judge ordered the panel to give him an update before lunchtime.

The eight women and four men are sifting through roughly a day's worth of testimony and arguments in the case, which was filed last year after the pop star hit a parked car and left the scene.

Britney Spears hasn't appeared in court and didn't testify during the trial.

The jury deliberated for about two hours Friday.
