TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Jurors in the Dana Chandler double-murder retrial at Shawnee County Districr Court recessed late Tuesday afternoon without reaching a verdict.

Tuesday marked the fourth day the jury was in deliberations.

The jury reconvened around 9 a.m. Tuesday on Day 15 of the retrial.

The retrial began Aug. 5.

Chandler, 62, was convicted in 2012 of the 2002 double-homicides of her ex-husband Mike Sisco, 47, and his fiancé Karen Harkness, 53, at a west Topeka duplex.

However, those convictions were overturned in 2018 by the Kansas Supreme Court, and Chandler was granted a retrial, which is in its fourth week.
