Patricia Mazzei ‏@PatriciaMazzei 1m To recap: Law book found in jury room. Defense could have alleged jury misconduct and asked for mistrial. It did not.

Patricia Mazzei ‏@PatriciaMazzei now Judge also says if jury doesn't reach a verdict today, it will return Monday, not Saturday.

Patricia Mazzei ‏@PatriciaMazzei 6s Jury now entering courtroom.

Patricia Mazzei ‏@PatriciaMazzei now Judge does not mention finding the law book to jurors. They enter jury room to begin third day of deliberations.

Patricia Mazzei ‏@PatriciaMazzei now Sly remark by judge to bailiff: "Before you send them anywhere go look the room over." Chuckles in courtroom.

Jurors in the #SeanTaylor murder trial are currently at lunch. Judge Murphy: "I have to run a few errands." so court may be in session @ 1pm

Re unauthorized book in jury room MT @DavidSWeinstein: That looks a lot like West Publishing's Criminal Code and Rules

#SEANTAYLOR MURDER TRIAL: The jury asks "what is the difference between demonstrating a depraved mind and culpable negligence?"

All 3 jury questions again center on if Rivera was a key player, or "principal," in the crime.

Patricia Mazzei ‏@PatriciaMazzei 1m
Question 1: Does principal rule apply to all charges under consideration? Answer: Yes.

Patricia Mazzei ‏@PatriciaMazzei 1m
Question 2: Does principal rule apply to armed burglary and trespass charges? Answer: Yes.

Patricia Mazzei ‏@PatriciaMazzei 12s
Question 3: asked for clarification between demonstrating a depraved mind and culpable negligence. Answer: Go back to jury instructions.

jmo but I think this jury isn't very bright.

So, correction: The third question did NOT center on principal rule.

#SEANTAYLOR MURDER TRIAL: "depraved mind" is qualification for 2nd degree murder, "culpable negligence" is qualification for manslaughter.

#SEANTAYLOR MURDER TRIAL: jury ruling out 1st Degree Murder? Questions suggest they're debating 2nd Degree or Manslaughter @wsvn @myfoxdc

Looks like jury is done for the day. Judge said earlier if that was the case, it would return Monday. #SeanTaylor

Bailiff in #SeanTaylor case says jury is quitting for the day, no verdict. Judge about to send them home, will return Monday.
