1:25 p.m.: The jury began deliberating at 9:30 a.m. They have been in the jury room going over evidence and video from the case for over eight hours, including yesterday's deliberations.

The jury consists of eight women and four men. Here are some of the jury instructions they have been given:

• They must use only the law and evidence to determine their verdict. No sympathy.
• For Second-Degree Murder, they must decide if the defendants unlawfully and intentionally killed Tyre Nichols.
• For Aggravated Kidnapping, they must decide if the officers knowingly removed or confined Tyre Nichols, interfering with his liberty, causing him bodily injury.
• As for the misconduct charge, they must prove that the defendants were public servants who refrained from performing a public duty imposed on them by law.

We are still awaiting updates in the case.
