SD - Jurors in the Sioux Falls trial of two Hells Angels bikers said they couldn't reach a verdict after seven to eight hours of deliberating.
But at a hearing called in response to a note from the jury foreman, the judge told jurors to keep going.
Chad Wilson of San Diego and John Midmore of Valparaiso, Ind., are charged with five counts of attempted murder for a 2006 shooting at Custer State Park involving Outlaws bikers.
Jurors deliberated Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning but at noon said they couldn't reach a unanimous decision.
The judge reread jury instructions urging them to consider the case carefully and honestly.
He told them that after eight days of testimony they needed to discuss it longer, though he didn't set a time limit.
