After each side completed its closing argument and rebuttal, Judge Walter Kurtz spent over an hour reading his instructions ti the jury, with detailed separate instructions for each of the 46 counts. The jury then went to deliberate.

Your trusty correspondent kept vigil at the courthouse, along with the families and friends of victims Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom. Most of the other reporters had left before noon, when Judge Kurtz began reading his instructions to the jury, and only returned around dinner time.

There was an easy camaraderie between some of the reporters who had covered the story for years, and who would drop in on the families, who were trying to keep things as light as they could. As the new kid on the block, this writer kept a modest distance, on a set of cushion-seats about eight feet away.

At one point, Mr. Newsom dropped in on me, gave me a lengthy interview about Christopher, and even shared his strawberry shortcake with me. Later, some of his family, who had brought chicken tenders and sauce, also shared their food with me, and even asked about where I was from. Very kind people of all ages. Devout Christians.

At 5:52 p.m., several court officers delivered approximately 18 pizzas to the jury.

At 8 p.m., court officers sent us home for the night, as the jury was heading to their hotel for the night. Actually, a veteran local reporter, whose name I don't know, acted as a conduit. She said they said that we needn't come back until 10 a.m. tomorrow.
