It was not immediately clear why both sides had gathered again Thursday.
The ninth day of deliberations took a confusing turn after the judge mistakenly believed the jurors had reached a verdict on all six counts.

Edwards is accused of masterminding a plan to use money from Mellon and another wealthy donor to hide his pregnant mistress as he ran for president in 2008.
