The 12 jurors in the murder trial of Crystal Dawn Mackenzie requesting clarification on some of the judge's instructions....they asked whether the fact that Mackenzie was under the influence should be taken into account as they decide whether she reasonably believed killing Thomas was her only option.
They also asked whether they were to decide what she reasonably believed, or what a reasonable person would believe.
The jury later informed the court they are at an impasse and were called in again before the judge.
Mr. Justice William Grant reminded them to carefully consider the opinions of their fellow jurors and to be guided entirely by the evidence and then asked them to keep trying to reach a common conclusion.
