Overview

• Jurors resumed deliberations on July 8 and reported an 11-1 deadlock on the murder charge before also failing to reach agreement on the assault counts.
• The prosecution granted immunity to Tyler DaSilva and Jack Snyder in exchange for testimony, prompting defense questions about their credibility.
• Valle, 20, rejected a 40-year plea offer last year and has pleaded not guilty while claiming he acted in self-defense to protect a friend during the May 2022 house party.
• The trial featured testimony from three surviving victims, medical experts and Valle himself, who said he believed he was only waving the knife to scare off attackers.
• With jurors still split, Judge Murphy has not scheduled further dates and faces a decision on whether to declare a mistrial.
