"Jury divided in Edwards corruption trial?"

The title of this post is the headline of this new Fox News report, which gets started this way:

As jury deliberations in the John Edwards trial continue well into their second week, legal analysts are beginning to wonder whether the panel has become deadlocked.

Judge Catherine Eagles extended Wednesday's deliberations by a half-hour and plans to do the same the next day in order to allow jurors to recess early Friday -- to attend high school graduations and other family events.  Jurors have provided Eagles with schedule requests through next week.

Kieran Shanahan, a former federal prosecutor who's been watching the trial, said that could be a signal from dissenting jurors to other members of the panel "that they're resolute in the position and they'll stay as long as necessary."

"Initially, it looked like the jury was just going to walk through each count," Shanahan said. "They asked for every document associated with each count. But we're now in day eight. And I think it suggests there's division as to guilt or innocence among the jurors."

I wonder if all the media awaiting an outcome from the jury have a pool going on the timing or the verdict.  Gosh knows I am ready for an outcome, and I have not had to hang around a federal courthouse for the last few weeks. 

I am still predicting a split verdict, but every day that goes by suggests that a hung jury may be in the cards.  Is it too early to speculate as to whether the feds would try to retry Edwards if no verdict is reached?
