Jury fails to decide fate of Magana after 2 days

Deliberations will continue for a third day today in the trial of former police officer Roger Eugene Magana.

The six men and six women failed Tuesday to reach a verdict on the 45 counts against him. They resume deliberations in Lane County Circuit Court at 8:30 a.m.

Magana, 41, is accused of raping, sexually abusing or harassing 13 women during his eight years as a Eugene police officer.

On Tuesday, the jurors asked Judge Karsten Rasmussen to clarify the meaning of the term "physical injury." They previously asked for the definition of "consent."

Among Magana's charges are three counts of first-degree kidnapping, a Measure 11 crime carrying a mandatory 90-month prison term. First-degree kidnapping requires that a person take another person from one place to another without consent and with "the intent to cause physical injury." If jurors do not find the intent to cause injury, they may opt for the lesser charge of second-degree kidnapping, also a Measure 11 crime, but one with a 70-month mandatory prison term.

Police describe the suspects as a Hispanic male in his late teens or early 20s, 5 feet 7 inches, and an Asian male of the same age with a slight build.
