Jurors said they were deadlocked after 18 hours, but the judge pushed them to keep trying to reach a verdict in the high-profile case of a mother who strangled her three children.
Duane Keith Davis, once a high-ranking member of the South Side Compton Crips, long said he was in a Cadillac with the shooter in 1996. Then he began to recant his accounts.
The police fired at the woman, who was holding two knives, after trying to use less lethal force, officials said. A woman, 32, was killed, and a man, 68, is in stable condition.
