Phil Spector will now have to wait until next month to find out his fate as one of the jurors is too ill to attend court proceedings.
Deliberations stalled on Wednesday when the unnamed panel member fell ill with the flu, and now Superior Court officials have cancelled the trial for the remainder of the week - to allow the juror to recover.
The panel of six men and six women have spent just one full day and two half-days discussing the case since it was handed to them last week.
Music mogul Spector, 69, faces 18 years behind bars if he's convicted of killing actress Lana Clarkson, 40, in his Alhambra, California home in 2003.
