Jurors ‘solidly deadlocked’ in retrial of Anne Marie Drago

Annmarie Drago appears at Suffolk County District Court on Nov. 29, 2018, in Central Islip, N.Y. A New York appeals court on Wednesday, July 13, 2022, overturned the conviction of Drago, who was found guilty of causing the death of Evelyn Rodriguez in a dispute over a memorial honoring Rodriguez's slain daughter, Kayla Cuevas, 16, who was brutally killed in 2016 allegedly by members of the MS-13 street gang.

Members of the Jury in the retrial of Anne Marie Drago say they are “solidly deadlocked” on the criminally negligent homicide charge in the case.
The jury have, however, sent note to the judge that they’ve reached a verdict on criminal mischief and petit larceny charges.
The judge told the jurors to come back Friday at 9:30 a.m. for further instructions. He told lawyers and the courtroom that he will have them continue to try to reach a unanimous verdict.
Drago ran over and killed anti-gang activist Evelyn Rodriguez in 2018.
