Judge tells New York jury to keep trying for verdict in Etan Patz murder trial

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The judge in the murder trial of a man who confessed to killing a New York boy missing since 1979 on Wednesday told the jury to keep deliberating after the panel said it was unable to reach a verdict as deliberations pushed into an 11th day. The panel sent a note to the judge at state Supreme Court in Manhattan saying it was deadlocked in the trial of Pedro Hernandez, 54, a former deli worker who is accused of killing 6-year-old Etan Patz.
