these thing f bars foreign bank account report and shelf companies. those are things that the mueller team mentioned dozens if not hundreds of times and the jury had an issue with those yesterday. it could be a multi-parter. yesterday s had four bullet points in the note to the judge. again, the defense team, which has been hanging out offsite got a phone call and walked into the court. it doesn t look like anyone has come bursting through the door yet. dana: you said it could be that maybe they want to go home. let s just say we don t know what the note says. is there a time today when the judge will say okay, you guys get to go home. we will reconvene here on monday morning? no. he told the jury that they can go for as little or for as long as they want to. the case has generally been ending around 5:30 every day even whether they are in testimony jury has been letting them go home and part of the reason at the beginning of the trial he
dana: fox news alert. the jury in the paul manafort trial passing a note to the judge. let s go back to peter doocy. peter, do we flow what was in the note? we don t. we heard from somebody on the manafort side that the jury might want to go home for the day. but it s not clear if they are actually asking if they can leave the court or if that just means that they that there is something in this note, and actually, let s see, okay, i saw some folks it looks like they might be bolting over toward the door. you can t have any cell phones inside the court. the way we get information people have to run out with a note pad and tell you what happened. we don t know what is in this notoriety now. and the last time yesterday, at the end of the day, when they came with a note it was questions about very basic things like what is can you please redefine reasonable doubt and redefine some main components of the mueller team s argument.
said is traffic. you know, northern virginia has really bad traffic so they start at 9:30 so that people have a little bit more time to get here and leave at 5:30. the rules change doesn t seem concerned with the time line now. dana: could they work on the weekend if they wanted to? it s up to the judge. so far they haven t had to work on the weekend. even though the judge really wants to just get through the trial or really wanted to get through testimony, get through witnesses, get through evidence. but, so, it s not clear if this would be the third weekend that would be part of the proceedings in the middle of the proceedings. it s not clear that they would start working on the weekend now. dana: all right, peter. i m going to go read a couple stories and i bet there will be more news and have you back at the end of the hour. thank you for being so accessible to us. thanks. dana: more than $55,000 surprise. new york university announcing the school will cover tuition for a
jurors on high profile trials. i guess racial demographics might make sense: that s not an issue in this case. with jury duty being tough enough already i don t know that there is any need to get their names out there. dana: judge was surprised at the public scrutiny on this case or the attention of it. he needs to be watching more news so can he know this is a big one. let me just run through a couple things. 14th day of the trial even though it feels longer. 18 charges against manafort. 27 people have testified. there is 388 pieces of evidence. the jurors have gone in to deliberations. the defense team apparently telling everyone that they can sort of get a word to that they are encouraged that this deliberation is going for a while because they think that the longer it goes the better it is for their client. is that typically true? not necessarily. i mean, i think the big number you just showed there was that 388. the number of items of evidence that this jury apparently wants t
through and link up to the charges in the indictment that could take some time. and so i don t think getting to the point of a day and a half of deliberations is anything out of the ordinary at all at this point. it doesn t really read like that means they will hang or they won t convict. it s just sifting through a fairly sizeable mountain of evidence. dana: one the great things about our judicial system the jurors it could be a baker, the candle stick maker all sorts of different people. they come together. they re not financial experts. they are looking through 388 pieces of evidence. highly technical. and they are trying to work it all through. could it be that they are just one to be very diligent. some of us think of course they would want to go home for the weekend. maybe we have to give some more credit. they take things quite seriously. my experience is most jurors do take it very seriously. they feel compelled when they know it s an important trial and know it s a very
