Jury in Daniel Penny subway death told to keep deliberating after saying they are deadlocked on manslaughter charge

New York (CNN) -- The Manhattan jury deliberating Daniel Penny's case in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway last year said Friday they were deadlocked on the manslaughter charge, but the judge instructed them to continue deliberations.

Judge Maxwell Wiley gave the instruction over objections from Penny's defense attorneys who moved for a mistrial over the deadlocked panel of 12 Manhattanites. ... "It's not time for a mistrial," Wiley told the attorneys outside the presence of the jury.

The jury sent the note marking its impasse after 16 hours of deliberating since they got the case Tuesday afternoon. ... One male juror shook his head looking down as Wiley instructed the jury to "be flexible" as they move forward in deliberations.

Penny, 26, a former Marine, faces one count of manslaughter in the second degree and one count of criminally negligent homicide in Neely's death.

Penny cannot be convicted of both charges, according to the judge's instructions to the jury. Jurors can only consider the criminally negligent homicide charge if they find Penny not guilty of second-degree manslaughter.
