“A judge declared a mistrial Wednesday after jurors said they were deadlocked in the case of a former worker at New Hampshire’s youth detention center charged with raping a 14-year-old boy in 1998. Jurors were unable to reach a verdict in the trial of Stephen Murphy, 55, of Danvers, Massachusetts, marking the second mistrial connected to abuse allegations at state-run youth facilities. Jurors first indicated they were at an impasse Wednesday morning, their second day of deliberations. … Murphy, who was charged with aggravated felonious sexual assault, was accused of helping to carry a 14-year-old boy to a stairwell at the Youth Development Center in Manchester and then raping him while coworkers restrained the teen.” (01/22/25)
