Waiting for a Verdict: Day Two
Deliberations continue for a second day in the Cotton trial, although not without pause. At 11 a.m., the jury requested a second viewing of video evidence. At noon, the jury took a lunch break. At 3 p.m., the jury took a cigarette break. No word yet on snack break or naptime.
Meanwhile, both legal camps have contented themselves with reading. The prosecution has shown a preference for legal paperbacks, Time Magazine and The Pulse's crossword, while the defense has perused the Times Free Press, watched music videos and discussed classic cars. Me? I've stuck with a book of Chris Hitchens essays.
With the weather slowly warming, both sides have moved outdoors. Little more than an hour remains until the unhurried jury will decide whether to stay late or send the trial to a second week.
