Judge Jeffrey Locke is the only one talking.

Sidebars during deliberations are not uncommon, but this one appears a bit deeper than the previous ones.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:15:28 PM
The defendant, Dwayne Moore, is listening closely to Locke, and everyone appears to be in deep contemplation.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:15:31 PM
John Amabile, Moore's attorney, is now talking to Locke. Their whispering is inaudible. Their is a back-and-forth between the two men.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:15:32 PM
Sidebar just ended after 12 minutes and now Moore and Amabile, sitting at their table, are in deep conversation

Jurors are now entering.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:15:35 PM
Judge Locke tells jurors that he must ask them to return upstairs briefly, but not to deliberate. "You may talk about the weather..."

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:15:35 PM
...you may talk about what you're getting for Christmas, you may talk about the Patriots." Locke said that during this recess...

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:15:37 PM
He may call some jurors back to the courtroom, one at a time, for discussions. His tone is serious.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:15:38 PM
After jurors file out, Locke holds another sidebar, and has requested the presence of the foreperson.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:15:39 PM
The court officer from Worcester, who has accompanied the jury on their daily bus trips to Suffolk Superior, is now at the sidebar.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:15:39 PM
That court officer is talking with Locke.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:15:40 PM
Locke, to this point, has not specified what the issue is, but there is some speculation whirling around that it involves a juror.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:15:54 PM
The foreperson is speaking with Locke at sidebar.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:17:07 PM
Locke has stood mostly in previous sidebars, this time he is seated, and is jotting down notes.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:21:45 PM
The foreperson, a woman, has left the sidebar and the courtroom after spending 10 minutes at the sidebar.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:24:24 PM
Locke has requested the presence of the foreperson again at sidebar.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:27:58 PM
Several men with the Streetworkers program are in the courtroom. Absent are any relatives of the victims or defendant.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:29:52 PM
After about five minutes, the foreperson again leaves the courtroom.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:30:26 PM
The sidebar has ended. Several victims relatives have enterered. Another sidebar is called, discussions between Amabile and Locke continue

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:33:53 PM
A brief recess is called

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:34:27 PM
"Everything that happens in this case is a serious matter," Amabile says in the hallway, declining to take questions.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:38:37 PM
Case resumes with another sidebar. Another juror has been summoned, this time a man.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:43:31 PM
The juror leaves the sidebar, but sits down in the courtroom rather than leave like the foreperson did to rejoin other jurors upstairs

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:45:52 PM
The male juror has been called to the sidebar again.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:46:19 PM
That juror leaves the courtroom, after a brief discussion with Locke. Another juror comes in

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:48:55 PM
The female juror is animated, using lots of hand gestures

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:49:38 PM
The second female koror leaves the sidebar, sits in the courtroom for a brief moment before being called back.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:52:47 PM
That's 'juror'

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:53:11 PM
Another juror, a male is called into the sidebar. It is unclear whether Locke intends to call every juror one-by-one.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:55:16 PM
But so far, four have been called, two men and two women.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:55:47 PM
The juror leaves the courtroom, and a third male juror is called to sidebar.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 3:57:24 PM
juror leaves the sidebar but not courtroom, taking that hot seat like the jurors who proceeded him. Hot seat because they don't sit for long

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 4:04:55 PM
The juror or is called back for 30 seconds then leaves the courtroom. Another female juror called, the third. So far six jurors have met.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 4:06:11 PM
Edmond Zabin, the prosecutor, has mostly listened during these numerous sidebars.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 4:08:04 PM
Third female juror sits in hot seat for 10 seconds before rejoining sidebar and leaving courtroom. A fourth male juror is called.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 4:10:33 PM
If the trend holds, expect a female juror next. The jury is comprised of six men and six women.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 4:12:42 PM
Hot seat again, and then he leaves.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 4:15:02 PM
Foreperson is back, meeting at sidebar.

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 4:15:34 PM

by Brian Ballou via twitter 12/10/2012 4:19:58 PM
