Avenatti jury stuck on whether he cheated Stormy Daniels
The jury deliberating the fate of Michael Avenatti on criminal charges that he ripped off his star client, Stormy Daniels, told a judge on Thursday that it is deadlocked on the first of two counts.
The jury note was read aloud by U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman a day after deliberations began. The jury had deliberated only about four hours before delivering the message in Manhattan federal court.
“We are unable to come to a consensus on Count One,” the jury note read. “What are our next steps.”
