The recent case of Roman Storm that was heard by the U.S. court has really dragged on! The jury has been arguing back and forth, unable to make up their minds, and getting stuck on several key charges. Judge Failla, seeing this situation, was so anxious that he slammed the table and directly ordered the jury: go back and deliberate again! This move in court is called an 'Allen instruction,' which basically means the judge is saying, 'You guys aren't getting off easy; if you don't reach a verdict today, no one gets to go home.'
Now everyone is anxiously waiting for the jury to come up with a new discussion result. However, given the current situation, if they still can't come to a conclusion, the court might go ahead and rule on the parts that can be decided, leaving the remaining mess for the government—if they can't swallow that, they can always file another lawsuit later.
In my opinion, these financial cases are the most troublesome; there’s a mountain of evidence and the legal jargon is convoluted, the jurors must be feeling overwhelmed. Look, it’s just stuck here now! But the judge is not to be trifled with; he won’t hesitate to be firm when necessary. Now we just have to wait and see if these jurors can figure things out.
