week three, the jury in the major sheila dixon are still deliberating. >> the nine women and three men will start up again tomorrow deciding the mayor's fate. wjz has continuing complete coverage of the trial as the jurors enter their third week. right now, we go to mary bubala with the breaking news from the courthouse. >> reporter: sally, at 4:30 today, the jury passed yet another note to the judge. i will read it to you quickly, it says, we have not come to a decision but we are making progress. may we have just one more day. >> you have to listen to the jury. when the jury says that they think that more time will not be productive and that they prefer to come the next day, i have you have to honor that request. >> reporter: so jurors will be back here at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning for a fourth cay of deliberations while the city waits, including major sheila dixon. the jury in the trial in the state of many maryland versus sheila dixon enters it's fourth day. both the defense and the prosecution says it's a good thing. >> it's impossible to predict. we are just going in and hoping it ends as a very good day. >> it's hard to think of how jurors are thinking. your speculation is as good as mine. >> by all accounts from her staff and public appearances, major dixon is trying to stay focused on running the city of baltimore. she attended a celebration for the every man's theater. >> she's been very resilient. being able to continue the city's business. to me it's very remarkable. >> >> reporter: as the day went on, more notes came. that evidence pertains to an exhibit number three that deals with gift cards that were given out to needy families in 2006. plus the defense and prosecution, they are a little perplexed while the jurors were asking for this piece of evidence in the case. it does not pertain to the 2005 cards which were the patrick turner cards or the 2007 cards which were the holly trolley cars. kai back to you. >> live complete coverage continues with mike helgren and a closer look with those notes the jurors are submitting to the judge. hi mike. >> reporter: hi, kai. it is one of several questions that is providing new insight into what's going on during deliberations. several notes from jurors obtained by wjz are revealing more about what's going on during deliberations. around noon, juror 12 said they are making great progress. but previous notes illuded tension between the jurors. the jury forewoman later wrote the judge saying, she had never seen the notes and she had not even been allowed to see it. prompting the judge to ask the jury that all notes must go through the foreperson first. while the deliberations are going on several day, that is not unusual in high profile cases. >> juries are inherently unpredictable, not only don't we have any ideas what's going on behind those closed doors, but frankly the jury itself may not have a clear idea of what the chances are of reaching a verdict. of whether it'll be guilty or not guilty and when. >> reporter: in this case, jurors must rely on their evidence for testimony, and deal with most of the evidence being thrown out in complex instructions. one thing they may not consider is that they will throw the mayor out of office. >> the closer we get to the holidays, more pressure there will be on the part of the jury to get this done. >> reporter: these jurors certainly have written a lot of notes, some of them less significant, asking for smoke breaks, when they can use the telephone. but they will resume tomorrow at 9:00 to resume deliberations. mike helmgren, wjz news. we will have breaking news for you in just a moment. well, tonight we know the names of two maryland state troopers injured in a track as a red mustang

has all the ups and downs from the field. hi mark. >> how are you doing sally. ups and downs on a sunday afternoon. certainly emblematic for a bad ravens season. it was an effort the ravens defense could be proud of. in most cases that would be good enough for the ravens to win. but only if the ravens could capitalize. but instead of touchdowns they settled for field goals. five of them by the new kicker billy tundet. when in position to score, the ravens were denies, three times. too many field goals, not enough points. despite a defensive effort, it ends 17-15 in favor of indy. >> our guys did a great job. we're seeing some other guys continue to grow. we scored a couple of touchdowns there, we're not having this discussion. >> they turned the ball over three times, and we got to capitalize on that. and that's the moral of the game. we in the red zone, i don't know how many times we have to score points. >> we moved the ball pretty well. we weren't able to put touchdowns on
