FONDA — Jurors in the case against Catholic priest John W. Broderick, who was accused of sexual misconduct involving three boys, failed to reach a verdict Tuesday but will resume deliberations today.

Jurors began their deliberations during lunch after hearing closing arguments from the prosecution and defense attorneys.

As of 4 p.m. jurors asked to hear a read-back of testimony from the three children alleged to be victims in the case and from Connie Veeder, a Montgomery County Department of Social Services caseworker.

Broderick is accused of molesting three children from a large family while he was staying with the family and acting as the mother’s spiritual advisor.
