After  another day of deliberations, still no verdict in the embezzlement trial of Dan Doyle, founder of the Institute for International Sport.

The jury left the Washington County Court at about 3 p.m. on Friday and was scheduled to return Monday morning.

Doyle faces 18 counts, including forgery and embezzlement. Prosecutors tried to build a case that he pocketed thousands of dollars for personal use from his nonprofit institute, headquartered at the University of Rhode Island.

The charges followed a state auditor’s report that found the institute could not account for hundreds of thousands of dollars in legislative grants.

Doyle has always maintained his innocence, claiming the trial will show he did nothing wrong.
