Jury has reached verdicts on 3 of 4 charges against Kernell (Updated)

*
From the courtroom where David Kernell is on trial, Jim Balloch of the Knoxville News Sentinel reports some progress by the jury:

Federal court jurors reported today they have reached a verdict on three of four charges against former University of Tennessee student David C. Kernell, accused of illegally accessing the private e-mail account of 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

But they also reported they are deadlocked on the first count, a charge of identity theft.

Without asking what their verdict is on the other counts, U.S. District Judge Thomas W. Phillips sent them back to the jury room to continue deliberating the first count.

In their written communication to the judge this afternoon, the jurors said: "Some of us feel not all jurors are following the jury instruction."

Update: The jury has called it a day:

Federal court jurors will return Friday to continue deliberations against former University of Tennessee student David C. Kernell, accused of illegally accessing the private e-mail account of 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

The jurors told U.S. District Judge Thomas W. Phillips shortly after 4 p.m. this afternoon they wanted to go home and wanted to resume deliberating Friday morning
