The third day of jury deliberations in the Massachusetts murder trial of a man charged with killing a 2-year-old girl who became known as Baby Doe ended without a verdict.
Jurors were dismissed for the day on Thursday without reaching a verdict. They have now deliberated for about 16 hours.
Trial Underway for Man Accused of Killing Bella Bond
Michael McCarthy is accused of killing the daughter of his ex-girlfriend Rachelle Bond in 2015.
McCarthy's lawyer told jurors during closing arguments Tuesday the girl's mother is the real killer and created a "web of lies" to blame him.
A prosecutor conceded Rachelle Bond behaved badly but said there's no evidence she killed her daughter.
The little girl's body washed ashore on a Boston Harbor island. A composite image of the girl was shared by millions of people on social media after she was dubbed Baby Doe by authorities trying to determine her identity.
