NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Jurors yesterday dragged through a second day without reaching a decision in death-penalty deliberations for home-invasion murder monster Steven Hayes.

The panelists asked for just one read-back — of testimony from a defense-paid psychiatrist who testified that Hayes went into an “extreme emotional state” when he strangled Jennifer Hawke-Petit on July 23, 2007.

Also killed were daughters Michaela, 11, and Hayley, 17. Dr. William Petit Jr. barely survived.
