The jury had been deliberating for more than 29 hours, reportedly a record for the courthouse in Norristown, Pa.

Cosby’s defense lawyer Brian McMonagle heard the news and made a motion for a mistrial, which the judge denied.

Judge O’Neill sent the jurors back to keep trying.

“I will not set any specific time for deliberations,” he said.
