Will Peterson Jury Deadlock?
by TChris
Scott Peterson's jury has been instructed to keep an open mind -- advice that the country as a whole might want to heed. But in a trial, when the jury has been deliberating for three days, it may signal the judge's concern that the jury will hang.
Update: Talk of a hung jury may be premature. Late this afternoon the jury asked to review additonal evidence:
The panel asked to hear several of the tapes made by Amber Frey, Peterson's girlfriend. One recording they requested included Frey quizzing Peterson on why he told her his wife Laci was dead before she was reported missing. The jury also asked to see a cement anchor, information on a life insurance policy on Laci Peterson, and Scott Peterson's fishing license, among other items.
