The jury in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial is still deliberating

The jury in the trial of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell resumed deliberations on Monday, but a verdict has not yet been reached.

The second full day of deliberations ended last Wednesday with the jurors requesting more transcripts of evidence from the trial.

They asked for a white board and different coloured sticky notes, as well as the transcript of the testimony of one of the witnesses, indicating that they may still have work to do before coming to a decision.

They also asked US District Judge Alison Nathan for a definition of a word in the charge sheet.

She referred them to the legal instructions that she had read to them just before they began deliberations a week ago.

It was the third full day of deliberation, which was broken by the Christmas holiday break.
