- 9:07 a.m.: Reminder: The jury has no access to transcripts of witnesses' testimony. They must rely on their memories and personal notes. If jurors disagree about what a witness said, there's no way to check.
- 9:05 a.m.: The court officers wheel the evidence boxes and bags through the hall. We can't actually see the deliberations room door. It's in a part of the courthouse off limits to the public.
- 9:03 a.m.: For what it's worth, several jurors seem to be dressed in black and for the first time the foreman was wearing a tie.
- 9:01 a.m.: The judge asks her standard questions and sends the jury back into deliberations.
- 8:59 a.m.: The jury enters. The judge is on the bench.
- 8:57 a.m.: We've reassembled in the courtroom with the lawyers and families. Waiting on the jury and the judge.

I wonder if their impasse could have been fixed if they simply could have had transcripts.It's stupid on a trial this long that they can't get transcripts on testimony.
It sounds to me like some jurors are just held to the belief that the police would never lie.
I wonder if their impasse could have been fixed if they simply could have had transcripts.
It sounds like some were not observed taking many notes and I wonder if those are the people holding out and a simple review would possibly help or if one juror simply wrote the wrong word or skipped a word in their notes. I see absolutely no reason in this day to not have that ability. I do understand back when it might take days to get it, but that's simply not the case any more.The trial I was a juror on lasted five or six days. We never needed a reread. We were told we wouldn't be able to take notes.
Fortunately, there was not a lot of disagreement, and we reached a verdict.
I wonder what the "guilty" people will think when they find out that the defense experts were FBI personell.
I think we expected this didn't we?hung jury
