The Court answered jury questions about the distribution element and requested testimony excerpts, then instructed continued deliberations after a partial-verdict note.
Full day summary
The Court responded to a jury question about the distribution element by directing jurors to specified agreed-upon instruction language, over the defense's preserved objection to the response. The Court also resolved the jury's requests for excerpts of Casandra Ventura's and Daniel Phillip's testimony, excluding two Cannes-related lines, preserving struck material redactions, and approving specified Ventura testimony, including limited 2024 Instagram-post testimony. Later, the jury reported verdicts on Counts Two through Five but said it could not reach a verdict on Count One because of unpersuadable views on both sides. The Court instructed jurors to continue deliberating without surrendering honest convictions, recessed until the next morning, and left open a stronger instruction if another jury note arrived.
