actually they requested lunch @ 12:30pm, not 12:45pm.
Maybe some jurors get hungry earlier and they compromised on the time.
15 minute break per judge
As for inventory, can't the jury ask for testimony to be read back to them?
I doubt any portion of the trial has been transcribed yet. So, they would need to wait for the court reporter to do so, and that takes a long time.

I am confused...I thought the jury said they did not need a break? So in the middle of reviewing the evidence, the judge calls for a break?

The victim is entitled to the person who murdered them to be, arrested, brought to trial and convicted.. IMO, this defendant did not murder Michelle Young and if I am correct and he is convicted, the victim has NOT received justice. MOONo one can ever say that JY did not have every advantage going for him during this process. Best defense under the law? Oh yeah.
What about victims' rights??
Can NOT replace a list of everything that was actually in the suitcase. MOO
I believe it will be a big question in all the jurors mind, is LE trying to hide evidence. MOO
IMO, not having a list of items from suitcase is going to raise red flags. Makes me wonder WHY??? This would be a common sense thing for LE to do.
It's transcribed during the trial, in a rough format by the court reporter. The final transcript is what takes time so she can totally clean it up, but juries can certainly request them during deliberations.
Here's how the items the jury asked for will be interpreted:
- The NG folks will see this as benefiting the NG position
- The G folks will see this as benefiting the G position
- The hung jury folks will see this as continuing to divide the jury
And the rest of the folks will not know what it all means.
Put me in the don't know what it all means category. :floorlaugh:
