The jury in the trial of a North Adams man charged with playing a role in the slayings of three Pittsfield men in August 2011 is scheduled to continue deliberating, a day after saying it had reached a verdict.
Deliberations are expected to continue Friday.
The jury in the trial of 47-year-old David Chalue told a judge in Hampden Superior Court on Thursday that it found the defendant guilty of three counts of murder and other charges.
But at the request of a defense attorney, jurors were polled individually and one juror who had been crying during the reading of the verdict said she did not agree with it. So the judge sent the jury back to continue deliberating.
The judge also denied the defense's request for a mistrial.
The jury started deliberations Monday afternoon.
