Awaiting further instructions ...

UPDATE, 4:30 p.m. - We have a verdict. The jury will file in momentarily.

UPDATE, 2:50 p.m.: Another "knock on the door" update - the jury has indicated they don't want to take an afternoon break. A sign that they are close to a verdict?

UPDATE, 1:50 p.m.: The jury just watched two videos again, the one filmed by Castillo after he shot and killed his father and one in which he answers reporters' questions while being led to a squad car the same day. The jury received copies of doctors' reports but were denied transcripts of two witnesses' testimony and a letter written by Castillo to Anna Rose, which was never presented as evidence.

The jury would appear, based on the evidence requested, to still be deliberating on Castillo's mindset the day of the shooting, which is crucial to the distinction between a verdict of guilty of first-degree murder, of second-degree murder or him being found not guilty by reason of insanity.

Castillo's family members have alternated throughout the trial, but today, like every day so far, his mother and oldest sister are sitting in their usual seats on the left side of the courtroom. They have left the courtroom in the past few days as videos of Castillo have been aired.

Now, back to waiting ...

UPDATE, 11:54 a.m.: We appear to have a request from the jury to see several items: The transport video; "The End" video; reports from Drs. Wolfe, Bellard, Hilkey and Graham; a letter to Anna Rose; and copies of Dr. Wolfe and Deputy Ivey's testimony.

10 a.m.: The jury has passed a note to the court ... for coffee and creamer.

We're waiting out the first full day of jury deliberations in the Alvaro Castillo trial. There will be further updates to this post as we learn more. Right now, I am operating from my mobile office, as I have been for 3.5 weeks, so we'll post results as soon as we have a verdict.
