14 days of deliberations and still no verdict in the trial of Philadelphia Mob boss Joseph Ligambi.

Earlier in the day, jurors asked to hear more audio tapes from the 10-week trial, according to John P. Martin of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno has already advised the panel they may have to work through Super Bowl weekend should a verdict not be reached.

Ligambi was charged with racketeering.  During the 1970’s, Ligambi gained a reputation as an expert in sports handicapping, particularly for football.
