Jake Combs jurors request readback of full testimony of Jake Combs and one witness

 

(Combs)

Exclusive from courtroom.

11 a.m. There is a note from the jury in Jake Combs murder case. I saw Senior Deputy District Attorney Whitney Timm headed towards Courtroom 1, followed her on a hunch. Deputy Public Defender Ryan McClurg was there. No one else except DA Victim Witness Advocate. Deputy Public Defender Emery Welton arrived at 11:03.

Juror #8 was slightly late. The questions they asked were if they could get the Combs 'original interview from 2022 when he was arrested and Elias Antunez' first interview. If not, they wanted readback of full interview of Antunez and Combs.

The readback is what attorneys agreed to and so court reporter has to prep and then this will take hours.

I already reported earlier that jurors started deliberations yesterday at 3:48p.m. This morning they were supposed to start at 9:15.

I have the questions they asked since I was in the courtroom. 

Robert Schaulis from Times Standard came in after everything concluded. No other media here. 

3:55 p.m. : 3:55 another note from jurors in Jake Combs case. Question was about "verdict form" but it was a jury instruction. After discussions with attorneys, Judge Kaleb Cockrum sent response with specific jury instructions and what charges they correspond to; it looks like they are discussing first degree, second degree murder and manslaughter. I will edit this more and add to the blog later. 

4:06 p.m. The family and all of Trevor's loved ones are on the second floor right now.
