Our reporter Doug Donovan is sending updates from the coutroom throughout the corruption trial of Mayor Sheila Dixon.
The jury returned to its third day of deliberating Mayor Dixon's fate this morning at 9. So far, they have asked for several clarifications of legal terms, as well as a delineation of the role of the jury foreman.
Here's a recap of the notes jurors have been sent to the judge in earlier deliberations:
At 4:10 p.m. on Thursday, juror No. 4, who is the foreperson, wrote: "We need to close for the day. Things are getting a little out of order among us."
Before that, the jury questions focused on matters of law: "Does '...intent to deprive ...' or 'misappropriation' involved immediacy or a time period."
"Can we please get a law dictionary. There are some legal terms that some of us need explanation to. "
"Legal definition of misappropriation:"
The jury ended the day on Friday with a note similar to the one that ended the day on Thursday:
"Things are getting a little overheated. May we be dismissed for the day?"
