Jury unable to decide in manslaughter trial

A jury in Boston could not reach a verdict in the trial of Sanusi Sadiq, accused of manslaughter in the death of Barry Whelan. Whelan died from injuries sustained in a one-punch attack on St. Patrick's Day 2023. Whelan, a 46-year-old carpenter from Dublin, was attacked after a brief interaction with Sadiq, a bouncer. The jury deliberated since Thursday, and a new trial date will be set on April 15. Defense claims Whelan racially abused Sadiq, while prosecutors argue Sadiq acted intentionally. Video evidence exists, but it lacks audio. Whelan's former boss disputed the defense's claims about Whelan's character.
