The jury in the Mattapan Massacre trial announced today they have reached verdicts on 10 counts but are deadlocked on nine others because a lone juror is holding out.
The jury announced this afternoon they have voted 11-1 on those remaining nine charges. The jury foreman handed a note over to Suffolk Superior Court Judge Christine McEvoy on yellow paper that read, in part: “At this point we don’t see a path to meaningful dialogue.”
The judge has sealed the 10 indictments on which there were verdicts and released the jury of four men and eight women for the day. The jury was ordered back in the morning to await further instructions from the judge and to try again to reach a verdict.
Dwayne Moore and Edward Washington are charged in the September 2010 execution of four people during a drug robbery. Killed that night were Simba Martin, Eyanna Flonory, her 2-year-old boy Amani Smith and Levaughn Washum-Garrison who, along with sole survivor Marcus Hurd, were marched at gunpoint out of a condo at 23 Sutton St., around the corner to Woolson Street, where they were cut down by a burst of gunfire.
Hurd, who testified at the trial, was left paralyzed.
The month-long case included testimony by more than 50 witnesses and the admission of 225 exhibits. The case was built on the testimony of star prosecution witness Kimani Washington, who admitted taking part in the robbery but bolted before all the shooting began. Defense attorneys called Kimani Washington a liar.
