Jurors in Quinton Tellis' capital murder decided to resume deliberations Monday after 4½ hours spent Sunday behind closed doors weighing the evidence.
The
jury from Oktibbeha County began deliberations at 2:35 p.m. Sunday
following six days of testimony in a second trial nearly a year after
the first that ended in a hung jury. Their work began following
testimony in the morning from three defense witnesses, a prosecution
rebuttal witness and roughly two hours of closing arguments from the two
sides.
The judge called jurors into court for a
progress report shortly before 7. The forewoman said they’re making
progress but need ”a little more time.”
Dinner was ordered as jurors continued deliberations.
Deliberations continued until around 7:30 p.m. and are set to resume at 9 a.m. Monday.
