I'm sorry, but I am finding it hard to believe this is proper. The jury has twice now said they are deadlocked. That's a hung jury on that count.
The judge is effectively dismissing it (but can he?) so they can consider C2.
I can't find a single case supporting this approach.

Manslaughter charge against Penny is officially DISMISSED, over defense objection. Dismissed by the court, not the DA. Jury will be told this right now.

As of now, this entire thing seems to be rigged against Penny, with the judge and prosecution working hand-in-glove, and that's a travesty for him and whatever public trust was left in the justice system. These judges and prosecutors are out of control.

Penny's last hope is that the jury deadlocks on the second charge as well and that justice prevails here despite the machinations of the "justice system." Deliberations will continue on Monday, which means an entire weekend of possible pressure being applied. How convenient for the judge and prosecution, right?
