#DanchenkoTrial jury gets case at 1:10 p.m. After a lunch break, they will begin deliberations. About 42 people in audience, including Danchenko's wife and two daughters, spend then afternoon milling about waiting for verdict. #CrossfireHurricane Been difficult trial to cover with electronics banned not just in courtroom but entire courthouse. The Albert V. Bryan Courthouse is a void: Once you're in, nothing comes out with breaks just long enough to accomplish nothing or after daily adjournment.

Prosecutors have just asked for more time in presenting their "wish list" of jurors
