The court addressed jury access to a Blu-Ray disk, denied a renewed mistrial motion, and the jury returned guilty verdicts on all five indictments.
Full day summary
A question about jury access to a Blu-Ray disk led the court to retrieve and review the material, question jurors about their limited viewing, deny a renewed mistrial motion, and require any further review to occur in the courtroom upon written request. The jury then returned guilty verdicts on all five indictments concerning Merah, Elias, Abigail, Gabriel, and Nahtahn, and was polled at the defense's request. The court denied renewed post-verdict motions, ordered a full-day delay before phase two, renewed the jurors' admonitions during the recess, and set further scheduling and motions arrangements.
