Full day summary

Day 34 is a verdict watch day, with the jury continuing deliberations begun at the close of Day 33. Court opens with Judge Cannone polling jurors to confirm they followed weekend instructions — no case discussions, no independent research, no media exposure. After the jury retires, defense attorney Yannetti discloses that an incorrect filing version was submitted and requests time to correct it; Prosecutor Brennan requests time to review the updated document, and Judge Cannone grants both requests. The court reconvenes at day's end solely to dismiss the jury. Judge Cannone thanks the jurors for their work, delivers the standard admonitions, and sends them home to resume deliberations the following morning.
