Final instructions were delivered and the jury began deliberations, sending notes about a juror concern and the controlled-substances instruction.
Full day summary
Judge Arun Subramanian delivered final instructions on the five counts, the government's burden of proof, and the verdict sheet before sending the jury to deliberate. The court then arranged for jurors to receive admitted exhibits and neutral exhibit lists, received notice that Juror No. 5 had been elected foreperson, and responded to a note concerning Juror No. 25 by reminding all jurors of their duties without seeking deliberative views. Later, the court received a question about the controlled-substances instruction, directed counsel to confer on a response, and deferred further action until the next morning.
