Jurors Seek Information from Judge

Day three of deliberations ended with no decision on whether Joshua Komisarjevsky lives or dies, but the day was punctuated when jurors passed a note to judge seeking input on a legal aspect.

According to NBC Connecticut:

The jurors had questions on what constitutes a "minor role" in the death of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and if the jury should take into account just the strangulation or all the events leading up to her death.  Steven Hayes, Komisarjevsky's co-defendant, strangled Hawke-Petit during the crime, and is now sitting on death row.

Judge Jon Blue said neither and referred them back to the count.
