LOS ANGELES — Jurors told a judge Wednesday they were deadlocked in a negligence lawsuit filed by a San Francisco Giants fan who suffered severe brain damage in a beating at Dodger Stadium.

The judge, however, told them to keep deliberating.

The 12-member Los Angeles County Superior Court panel began deliberations on June 26 in the case by Bryan Stow but said it was unable to reach a consensus of at least nine jurors on the question of whether there was negligence by the Dodgers or former owner Frank McCourt.
