The longer this jury deliberates and can't find a verdict means Joey either gets a hung jury or is found innocent. Juries don't tend to go this long after notes from the judge to keep going only to have a guilty verdict. The longer they deliberate the better Merlino has to feel. Even if the feds re-try this case his odds of beating it go even higher. With Rubeo their star witness, his lawyer will just find more and more ways to go after him and make him look terrible like he did in this case. Rubeo was a horrible star witness and will more than likely NEVER get a conviction of Merlino.
They are never going to get a conviction? Come on man, use your head. He has already done major time. He is very high profile and the Feds hate him. He has no sustainable rackets and is always looking for the quick buck. The Feds are never going to stop going after him. He is going to expose himself again and he is going to get indicted again. Eventually the orange guy or Freddy Krueger is going to have to take his spot.
