Jurors weighing the sexual abuse case of suspended Roman Catholic priest Andrew McCormick ended their first full day of deliberations without reaching a verdict.

McCormick, 59, stands accused of assaulting a 10-year-old altar boy in 1997 after luring him to his bedroom in the rectory of St. John Cantius Church in Bridesburg. He has denied the allegation.

A previous trial for McCormick ended last year in a hung jury after 29 hours of deliberations. The current panel is set to resume deliberations Tuesday. - Jeremy Roebuck
