Jury still mulls murder case
The jury deliberating the fate of a man accused of shooting to death two men who were part of an anti-racist skinhead group in July 1998 resumed deliberations today at 9 a.m.

If convicted, Butler could receive the death penalty.
The jury members were to resume deliberations on Wednesday if they had not reached a verdict by noon today.
