The first ended Nov. 18 after jurors deliberated throughout the night and could not reach a verdict Roughly five hours into deliberations on Friday jurors again appeared to be at an impasse when the court received a written question The judge and attorneys from both sides agreed to send the jurors back to continue deliberations The announcement of the "not guilty" drew emotional responses from the families involved The victim's mother, Niya Norris Robinson's family members hugged one another and Robinson’s attorneys patted him on the back The weight of their decision was written on their faces “This is not an easy process,” Judge Jason Dagate told them “I can see on your faces the emotions you are going through.” Dagate thanked the jurors for their service The prosecution’s case relied on witness testimony.
