Jury duty. The jury in the Bell corruption trial isn’t done yet. Judge Kathleen Kennedy has instructed the panel to return to court this morning and jurors could be forced to continue deliberating on dozens of charges that remain unresolved. Five of six former city council members were found guilty yesterday of stealing from the working class city. But the jury also acquitted them on many charges. Former City Administrator Robert Rizzo, whose total compensation was due to reach $1.5 million this year, will be tried later, along with his assistant. L.A. Times
