Re: NYC Penny Jury locked and DA has judge tell them to consider a different charge question

What I've gleaned is he had two charges. Manslaughter and negligent homicide. The jury was instructed they could not consider the secondary until they reached a conclusion on the primary. Since they could not reach said conclusion on manslaughter (the primary), they were instructed to ignore the primary (charge being dropped) and concentrate on the secondary.
