Jury Reports 8-4 Deadlock in Priscilla Slade's trial

My gut tells me that the jury believes Priscilla Slade is guilty but they are concerned about how much prison time she would receive. They had previously posed that question to the judge. The judge informed them that they should not be concerned with the amount of time Priscilla Slade could receive.

The jury in the trial of former TSU president Priscilla Slade was sent back to work by the judge Wednesday after reporting a deadlock.

Members of the jury told the judge they were stuck in an 8-4 deadlock over whether Slade misspent more than $500,000 dollars of the university’s money on herself and her home.

It was unclear which way the jury was leaning.

The judge told them to keep deliberating.
