Nothing yet this morning

Good Tuesday morning folks. Unfortunately, I don't have any big news to share with y'all so far today. Deliberations got started around 9:30 a.m. this morning. So far, we haven't heard from the jurors. I wonder if we will today or not? From the note yesterday, I got the impression some jurors are dead set in their opinion and do not want to deliberate anymore. But when Judge Cayer orders you to reconcile your differences and keep deliberating, I guess that's what they are doing.

So, we are just waiting. A few folks brought books today. I see several newspapers passed around. The defense attorneys are chatting it up with local media and surfing the Web. Again, the prosecution does not stay in the courtroom while the jury is out deliberating. Nor does Emily's family. I feel so bad. I know how much I am ready for a verdict or something. I can't imagine how much this means to them, or to Jerry's sister. She's sitting with her head down. I am sure this is exhausting.

But there's nothing we can do to speed this up, so we just wait. I wonder what the judge will do if they come back deadlocked again today? Will he make them continue to deliberate? Will this trial be declared a hung jury mistrial and this will be over? We'll find out soon, although, it feels like later, huh.
