citation_a.sentence: State v. Bedford (1988), 39 Ohio St.3d 122, 126, 529 N.E.2d 913 (noting that that judge’s response to a question about a possible deadlock situation that instructed the jury to continue deliberating was a “reasonable response”); see also State v. Gulertekin (Dec. 3, 1998), Franklin App. No. 97APA12-1607, 1998 WL 831463 (instruction to “go back there and deliberate on this case” not reversible error); State v. Long (Oct. 12, 2000), Cuyahoga App. No. 77272, 2000 WL 1514330 (response that jury .should “continue to deliberate” after only a few hours of deliberations was not coercive); State v. Boose (Mar. 25, 1994), Lucas App. No. L-93-095, 1994 WL 101961 (same); United States v. Kramer (C.A.7, 1992), 955 F.2d 479, 489 (an instruction to continue to deliberate was content-neutral and not in error). Therefore, we overrule appellant’s third assignment of error.
