Rhonda Quagliana came back, but was still sick; she then got into trouble because she had sent e-mails to her expert witnesses telling them of the testimony from the prosecution witnesses -- a no-no under trial procedure. The witnesses are not supposed to know what the other witnesses have said. So much of the defense evidence was thrown out. The case was argued to the jury, and at about 7 PM, the jury decided that they did not want to deliberate tonight. They went home, and will return Wednesday morning to deliberate.]]> http://www.snookandhaughey.com/news/day-11-of-the-huguely-trial-defense-rests-arguments-done-jury-deliberates-wednesday/feed/ 0 http://www.snookandhaughey.com/news/day-10-of-the-huguely-case-jury-instructions-and-what-will-happen-tomorrow/ http://www.snookandhaughey.com/news/day-10-of-the-huguely-case-jury-instructions-and-what-will-happen-tomorrow/#comments Sat, 18 Feb 2012 01:17:50 +0000 lloyd http://www.snookandhaughey.com/?p=530 The judge has made his decisions about jury instructions in the George Huguely murder case, and the jury is likely to get the case tomorrow.]]> http://www.snookandhaughey.com/news/day-10-of-the-huguely-case-jury-instructions-and-what-will-happen-tomorrow/feed/ 0 http://www.snookandhaughey.com/news/day-10-defense-lawyer-is-still-sick/ http://www.snookandhaughey.com/news/day-10-defense-lawyer-is-still-sick/#comments Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:30:45 +0000 lloyd http://www.snookandhaughey.com/?p=528 Day 10 of the Huguely murder trial resumed with some -- but not much -- evidence being presented.
