PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jurors pondering the fate of two Roman Catholic priests in Philadelphia appear to be digging in for the long haul.

The jury is working through a fifth day of deliberations in the clergy-abuse case, but won’t meet Friday because of a family graduation.

Other graduation conflicts are possible if deliberations continue next week.

Monsignor William Lynn is the first U.S. church official charged for his handling of abuse complaints at the Philadelphia archdiocese.
