The jury asked a pair of questions mid-morning before working though the lunch hour in case of Brandon Craig, accused in the 1999 East Mountain shooting deaths of three teenagers.
One question asked if they could have a letter that Jeff Moore, Craig's friend since childhood, had written to Craig's cousin, Luke Morris, while Morris was in prison. In testimony, Moore acknowledged writing to tell Morris he was willing to raise bail money for him and give other assistance.
Moore also testified that in the letter he wrote "I got nothing but love for you," but added during questioning, "I know what it's like to get those empty promises, and I gave it right back." Judge Kenneth Martinez, after consulting with attorneys, sent the jury a message that the letter was not in evidence and jurors would have to rely on their collective memory.
Deliberations will resume Wednesday.
