On Wednesday, the 12-person jury found Valle not guilty of murder and intentional manslaughter in McGrath’s death. When asked by Judge Shari A. Murphy, the foreperson agreed the jury was “hopelessly deadlocked” on a lesser included reckless manslaughter charge.

The jury in the Raul Valle murder trial has returned with a verdict in the death of Fairfield Prep's James McGrath and the assaults of three others.
