KELLY SOO PARK - JURY CLOCK

Jury Clock: 
I have reviewed all my notes to try to determine how many hours the jury has been deliberating.  I cannot come up with an exact figure, because this jury has not "buzzed" each time they have started and stopped.  All times are as close as I can possibly come.  This page will be updated at the end of each day.

May 22nd, 2013 (Day 7 of trial)
Recap: On this day we had two defense witnesses and all of closing arguments.  While Judge Kennedy was reading jury instructions, a sound on my computer went off. I quickly left the courtroom with my laptop. I did not re-enter the courtroom until Judge Kennedy had left the bench.  I read one news report of that day that indicated the jurors had deliberated 20 minutes before going home.  So, on the day of closings, we have 20 minutes.
Total: 20 minutes

May 23rd, 2013 (Day 8 of trial)
From my notes, these are the approximate times I have for deliberations.  Since all these times are approximate, I will round them to the closest 5 minute increment.
9:00 AM to 10:46 AM = 1 HR, 45 minutes
11:00 AM to 12 Noon = 1 HR
1:30 PM to 3:55 PM = 2 HRs, 25 minutes
Total: 5 HRs, 10 minutes

Running total: 5 HRs,  30 minutes
