Judge William Sullivan checked juror impartiality with 12 deliberating jurors and six alternates present. Jurors answered no when asked whether outside information would affect their impartiality or whether any other serious concern bore on their service. Sullivan directed deliberations to resume. In the afternoon, he excused the jurors until Monday at 9 a.m. to resume deliberations, reminding them not to discuss the case or deliberations and not to read or listen to material about the case. The court recessed until Monday morning.
