Jurors in Coalville, Utah, deliberated for a second day without reaching a verdict in the murder trial of three members of a polygamist clan charged in the fatal shooting of a law officer during a raid on the group’s compound. The Jan. 28 assault by officers at the rural homestead ended a 13-day standoff between authorities and members of the clan, accused in the bombing of an empty Mormon chapel. Clan patriarch Addam Swapp, 27; his brother Jonathan Swapp, 21, and brother-in-law John Timothy Singer, 22, are charged with second-degree murder in the death of Corrections Lt. Fred House.
