NEW YORK — Jurors deliberating whether disgraced celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti stole $300,000 from his ex-client Stormy Daniels ended their first full day of deliberations Thursday without reaching a verdict.

“We are unable to come to a consensus on count one,” read the first jury note, sent out at around 11 a.m. “What are our next steps?”
