Jury was deadlocked. A mistrial was declared in the the case brought by four San Diego firefighters suing the city for sexual harassment on being forced to take part inthe city's Gay Pride parade:
"According to lawyer Charles LiMandri, who represented the firefighters in the suit, the jury deadlocked 8-4 in favor of the firefighters on the sexual harassment claim. The jury voted 11-1 to reject the claim of one firefighter that he suffered retaliation for complaining about the parade assignment. One juror said she felt the panel could have reached a verdict on the sexual harassment claim if given more time, but City Attorney Mike Aguirre, who was defending the city in the suit, wanted the panel to declare whether it was deadlocked.
