Jury Reports Deadlock in Raider Case
Nearing the end of a third week of deliberations, the jury in the Oakland Raiders’ $1-billion Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit against the NFL sent a note Thursday saying they were deadlocked on two issues.
It is not clear how the jury is split.
Both issues relate to a 1995 proposal to build a stadium at Hollywood Park for the Raiders, one of the two central disputes in the case.
The other concerns the issue of who “owns” the L.A. market for NFL football. The league says it does; the Raiders, who played in Los Angeles from 1982 through 1994, say they still do.
Judge Richard C. Hubbell directed jurors to keep deliberating. The seven-man, five-woman jury is due back in court this morning.
