Day 33 of 35

The jury completes its third day of deliberations without reaching a verdict, beginning and ending with standard cautionary instructions from Judge Cannone.

Full day summary

Day 33 consists entirely of jury deliberations, the third full day the panel has been sequestered with the case. The session opens with Judge Cannone's standard morning poll confirming jurors followed overnight instructions — no case discussions, no independent research, no media consumption. The jury is returned to the deliberation room with standing logistical instructions. After deliberating through the afternoon, the jury requests to adjourn for the day. Judge Cannone grants the request following a brief sidebar with counsel, delivers closing cautionary instructions, and dismisses everyone until the following morning. No notes, questions, or communications from the jury are recorded for this day.
