Is there any evidence that the jury was coerced into reaching a verdict by the trial court?

The record contains no indication that the jury was coerced by the trial court's actions. "Any claim that the jury was pressured into reaching a verdict depends on the particular circumstances of the case." (People v. Pride (1992) 3 Cal.4th 195, 265.) Here, the jury had already let the court know that it was having difficulty with the concept of premeditation before the court first mentioned the "possibility" of additional arguments. The mere fact that the jury responded eagerly to this possibility is not reflective of coercion but instead of the jury's genuine and appropriate desire for clarification. The jury's subsequent messages identifying the definition of "deliberately" as the focus of its attention confirmed that, as the court and counsel had already concluded, no further instructions would be helpful.
