"Don't know what it is, but there is a verdict," Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge Michael Holbrook.

Jury comes back (3:20 p.m.) with another question in the #WIlliamHusel trial: "Can we get any additional guidance on what reasonable doubt is." Judge Holbrook is frowning as he reads it.

Judge Holbrook: "I'm going to recommend that you take lunch, come back and then talk.... relax, let the tension go, come back and see what you can do."

#huseltrial noon update: Judge Michael Holbrook reads jury the 'Howard' charge... essentially urging a potentially deadlocked jury to make one final and sincere attempt to resolve the case. Maybe it was the cold, soggy Monday morning, jurors look taxed

The red-green courtroom light can mean that jurors have a question. But Judge Michael Holbrook called #huseltrial attorneys to his chambers to discuss a statement they have, not a question. Speculation is that they are deadlocked. Waiting for the explanation.

Jury in #williamhusel trial has a statement, not a question. Could this be deadlock issue?

Angela Wagner pleads guilty to 13 lesser charges in exchange for state dropping aggravated murder charge in deaths of eight Rhoden family members in Pike County five years ago. That totals 30 years with no chance of parole. She sat in expressionless in prison garb.

Plea hearing for Angela Wagner, charged with Rhoden family murders of eight in Pike County five years ago, delayed beyond the 3 p.m. start. Lots of back room discussion among attorneys and judge.

Angela Canepa, special prosecutor in the Rhoden family murder case says this afternoon's 3 p.m. hearing should be quicker than that for Wagner's son, Edward "Jake" Wagner, who pleaded guilty in April to the killings of eight. That lasted about an hour.

Motion hearing in Pike County for Angela Wagner in Rhoden family mass murder case is pushed back to 3 p.m. due to court reporter being delayed.
