Judge T.S. Ellis just said the court will stand in recess and the jury will continue deliberating until at least 6:15 p.m. ET.

Jurors started their deliberations at 9:35 a.m. ET.

Ellis also held a short bench conference with the lawyers — making it the third bench conference of the day.

Earlier today, Ellis held two sealed bench conferences with prosecutors and defense attorneys. There was no indication of what was discussed. Ellis said the conferences will be unsealed after the trial.
