Does the expression that a jury is "hopelessly deadlocked" constitute a determinative factor in determining the length of time required to reach a verdict?

Although the jury's expression that it is "hopelessly deadlocked" may be significant, it is not determinative. The time necessary to reach a verdict is "best left to a trial judge", United States v. Goldstein, 479 F.2d 1061, 1069 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 414 U.S. 873, 94 S.Ct. 151, 38 L.Ed.2d 113 (1973), who can weigh the various factors involved in any given case. In the face of the circumstances in the instant case the trial judge soundly exercised his judicial responsibility to guide and direct the jury when he gave the additional instruction.
