The jury in the sex-assault trial of Rev. Andrew McCormick, a Catholic priest accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old altar boy at a Northeast Philadelphia church in 1997, finished its first full day of deliberations Friday without a verdict and will resume its deliberations Monday.

Before leaving, the Common Pleas Court jury of nine women and three men asked Judge Gwendolyn N. Bright to again instruct them in the law when they return.

McCormick, 57, is charged in five counts involving sexual assault, child endangerment and corrupting minors in an incident that allegedly occurred when McCormick was a priest at St. John Cantius Church in Bridesburg.
