San Diego
The jury in the retrial of accused police killer Sagon Penn, sequestered for a third day, had reached no verdict by the time court closed Wednesday--the jurors’ 23rd day of deliberations.
Penn, 25, faces five felony counts in the shooting death more than two years ago of San Diego Police Agent Thomas Riggs and the wounding of Agent Donovan Jacobs and civilian ride-along Sarah Pina-Ruiz.
The defense claims Penn, who is black, was firing to defend himself from a racially motivated attack.
