PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The jury in the latest Philadelphia priest sex abuse case this afternoon told the judge that it is deadlocked on one of the charges but has reached a decision on all the others.

The judge, not willing to let the jury declare itself hung on that one remaining charge, sent the panel back to continue its deliberations.

It was not known for which count, or for which defendant, the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict, nor what the decisions were for the other counts.
