Into the next trial? >> you know, i think the takeaway, first of all, is the jury system works. im heartened by what we saw there. let me just explain why. you have this very diplomatic juror who we saw who im sure was very frustrated having listened to all the evidence. you remember they came back out and said give us an instruction on reasonable doubt. thats why we always say you never can read when readback, if its for everyone or one person, theyre trying to convince this person. the fact sh...

Maga now stands for my attorney got arrested. this is a president who has been surrounded by people, his campaign manager is now a convicted felon. his personal attorney today is pleading out in federal court and implicating the president directly while he was a candidate and law breaking. we have a whole constellation of other trump people who are either pled guilty or cooperating with prosecutors because this is a guy who is standing atop a gigantic mountain of corruption. and hes standing ato...

Counts resolved. you can, in fact, give them a partial verdict. thats okay to do so. what happens if they are to return maybe 17 of the 18 or 3 of 18 or 1 of the 18, the prosecution, if they have a conviction or an acquittal either way can say we will decide to retry on that particular ground, on that particular charge alone. if you have a conviction on 17 of 18 counts, you dont necessarily want to have that particular new trial. remember, this is obviously a two-week trial. you can do a partial...

Schneider outside the courthouse in alexandria, virginia. whats the latest, jessica? >> reporter: wolf, the jury has been back in that deliberation room for just more than an hour now. they went in just before noon. all of this upon the judges instruction that they go back into the jury room and continue their deliberations on that one count that they indicate theyve had trouble reaching unanimous verdict on. so right now the jury is back in the deliberation room. it indicates that perhaps this ...

Minutes, the nudge wijudge will back the jury and we will see what next steps he will provide to the jury. >> we will be waiting for that. we are continuing to talk more of this. as we look at this, if its just this one count as we heard from evan and the judge is saying, if you cant -- im sending you back in, if you cant come to a consensus on that, im going to accept what you found, on the other 17 counts, i mean, how quickly do we think we could learn what that decision is? >> we can learn pr...

That one count that appears one count is what they are not able to reach a decision on. then he says he also is prepared to tell the jury that if they have only a partial verdict that he is prepared to accept that. this is something that he gave the prosecution and the defense some notice on. he wants to hear from them as to what their view is on his instructions. that is the -- he has given them a few minutes to go over the language that he is going to use. essentially, he will bring back the j...

My view of it is -- its always dangerous to speculate about this stuff. but if they have reached a decision on 17 counts, if you find somebody innocent on 17 counts, i dont know if you would be fooling around about the last count. i think you would probably find him innocent on that as well. >> you are saying, in your gut -- >> it feels like more probably than not, they may be looking at guilt on 17 counts and then they are having a problem with the evidence on the 18th count. as i say, this is ...

Simply to reach a verdict. but then he talked to them for five minutes, imploring them to continue working together. he said that it is your duty to agree upon a verdict if you can do so without violating your individual inclinations. he then encouraged the jury to continue working together. he said give deference to each other, listen to each others argues. so possibly for the past hour plus, thats exactly what this jury has been doing. theres no indication as to how long they may take, whether...

Taking the judges instruction to heart here. maybe working with each other more showing more deference, listening to each other, those were all things the judge said they should do. so they went back into that jury deliberation room at 11:58 after asking the judge that question what should we do if we cannot come to a consensus on a single count, how should we fill out the verdict form? the judge said to them essentially go back, try this, try it again, try some more. you know, thats standard wh...
