Dunbar Jury 1 back...with questions

West Palm Beach City Hall outside the window behind media representatives' Courtroom11H back bench.

C.B. Hanif for WAOD:

The five male and one jurors in the gang-rape trial of Tommy Poindexter stared intently at the transcript as they listened to his arrest interview being played back in Judge Krista Marx's courtroom.

Judge Marx announced prior to the jury's return from lunch — and before co-defendant Nathan Walker's Jury #2 was released for lunch — that the members had questions:

They wanted the trial testimony of the Haitian mother who, along with her son, was assaulted in her Dunbar Village home by as many as 10 people two years ago.

They also wanted the Poindexter interview transcript.

Even before the jury was brought in, another request: To look at booking photos, perhaps to better match descriptions with the testimony of who did what.

During the audio playback, jurors flipped pages of the interview transcript.

They made notes.

They looked up and around as the audio played forward during a delay, when the interviewing policeman apparently left the room.

Then they looked back at their notepads and transcripts, finished listening, and returned to the jury room.

A court reporter was preparing to re-read M.D.'s testimony, when Judge Marx shared another note from Jury #1:

"We do't need to rehear the (mother's) testimony. We have enough information to deliberate."

Judge Marx places the court back in recess, only to announce a new note:

The second jury, for Nathan Walker, has a question. In the words of his attorney, Robert Gershman: Did Nathan possess a firearm?

Over his dissent, the judge instructs the jury that he is considered to be part of what the others did, if they consider him a principal in the crime.
