Finally, Nickell contends that the district court committed reversible error by giving two Allen-type instructions to the jury during its deliberations. On the afternoon of Friday, May 6, after deliberating for three days, the jury reported itself deadlocked. The court at that point decided to accede to an earlier request by the jury to reread portions of the trial transcript. The court advised the jury that it would obtain the relevant portions of the trial transcript for them over the weekend, and would leave it to their discretion whether they wished to continue deliberating that afternoon, or adjourn until Monday morning. The court then gave the jury the following instruction:

I want to remind you again that when you do deliberate, now or Monday, or both, that you are to discuss the case with your fellow jurors to reach agreement if you can do so. Your verdict, whether guilty or not guilty, must be unanimous. Each of you must decide the case for yourself, but you should do so only after you have considered all the evidence, discussed it fully with the other jurors, and listened to the views of your fellow jurors. Do not be afraid to change your opinion if the discussion persuades you that you should, but do not come to a decision simply because other jurors think it's right. It is important that you attempt to reach a unanimous verdict, but of course only if each of you can do so after having made your own conscientious decision. Do not change an honest belief about the weight and effect of the evidence simply to reach a verdict.
