More waiting

After much waiting, the sealed matter before Judge Walton appears to have been handled and monitor comes on. The audio is delayed.

Judge Walton says, I have received the parties proposal about what I should say. I have some questions in my mind about what the jurors are asking. Walton is sending the note back, saying he is not exactly certain what they are asking.

Wells: As long as the record is clear that the defense believes the question is clear...

Walton: You may be right, but I have some level of uncertainty. Anything else. I assume we’ll get something back soon.

Media comments: I guess it all depends on what your definition of “is” is.

Update: 10:41 Wells has been talking with some gray haired woman, joking around. Seems to be in good spirits. Wells has just returned to the court room. He has been talking with a couple people. Their arms are folded and they are shaking there heads, but Wells appears to be in good spirits. Tiny bits of audio come through... "There's no question..."

Update: 11:01 People are wondering why it is taking so long for the jurors to respond to the requests for clarification. Perhaps the jurors are arguing over what their question really means.

Rumors are that it has something to do with the wording of one of the charges. The joking about trying to find the definition of "is", is whether that is an ontological or an existential question.
