Okay, thank you.
The court has received your verdict and accepted it.
Would either side like to let the jury poll at this time?
Not for mistake.
No.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, as you learned during jury selection,
the defendant has elected the same jury due to the punishment phase of this.
It's late in the day.
So our plan is to start fresh tomorrow with the punishment phase of this case.
We'll start back at 9 AM.
You're still under the same instructions.
You can't get any outside information about this case.
You're not to discuss this case with anyone, including amongst yourselves,
as we go forward, until we are able to charge you in the punishment phase.
So you remain under the same instructions.
We'll stand at recess until 9 AM tomorrow.
We'll see you back here then.
Thank you.
All rise for the jury.
Thank you, 9 o'clock, is that work?
Yeah.
How long do you think you're sought, do you know?
Not long.
They set up to three hours, I believe or something.
Okay.
Wow.
Just heard it live right here.
We know James Elmore found guilty for being part of the Texas Killing Fields, one of the
murders, and you can see right now, I'm looking at this with you, it's just, we all know how
long this has been something that Tim Miller has been waiting for.
We're looking at Tim Miller right now and his family, just happy.
It seems like more of relief and so glad that maybe finally he feels that his daughter,
Laura Miller, who never came home, finally got justice.
You could just hear people saying now, just in lip reading, thank God, and Tim Miller
got very emotional as well.
It's just been obviously a long time coming and he actually took the stand and made sure
that he gave his testimony.
I'm trying to see if we can hear anything that's going on there right now.
Thank you.
This is just the pain.
I did it.
You did it.
You really did it.
You did it.
Just the same level.
I bet Laura would say, talk about your bitch's balls.
Oh, you got me!
