Judge Ric Howard has extensively laid out deliberation procedures and the definitions of various crimes for the jury.
Jurors have been excused from the courtroom at 11:36am to begin their deliberations. They will actually be held in a courtoom across the hall from 4-1, not 4-1 itself, as was discussed yesterday. The three alternate jurors are being held separately and are still barred from discussing the case amongst themselves.

I pray for the right Verdict. I lived in Homosassa and spent that Saturday passing out fliers of Jessie at Homosassa Walmart. I spent months everynight running into my son's room to check on him. It put fear in every parents heart. God Bless her family and friends. Thank you and God Bless you Mark for helping get better laws to protect our children. God Bless, Beth
