A trial has taken an unexpected turn. Jurors have been unable to reach a decision on whether a mother is criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children. They were instructed to continue deliberating after expressing their inability to agree.

The judge held a sidebar with attorneys and the defendant, a rare occurrence. Following this, jurors were sworn in individually.

Further details on the trial's developments are available, including analysis of the events that transpired in the courtroom. Additional information can be found on a news program.
