# Almost instantly, the jury tells the bailiff they have two more questions. Judge Jones, who had stepped out, is called back. half a minute ago via TweetDeck

# They exchange pleasantries. Jones will soon return to Raleigh, which I believe is his home court. 2 minutes ago via TweetDeck

# The clerk, laughing: "I sure am. 'For a good time, call Judge Jones.'" He laughs too. 3 minutes ago via TweetDeck

# The judge just wrote down his cell phone number for the court clerk. "Don't go putting this on the bathroom walls," he joked. 4 minutes ago via TweetDeck

# Judge Jones told the panel "Go back to work." A bailiff hands back an envelope with the verdict sheets as they file out. 5 minutes ago via TweetDeck

# Six jurors just returned en masse. And we're at 12 jurors, so someone (me?) missed a count. Judge Jones has called the jury to its box. 6 minutes ago via TweetDeck

# Back in court for Crystal Mangum jury deliberations. We're awaiting the return of seven of the 12 jurors from lunch break. 7 minutes ago via TweetDeck

The jury wants judge to go over criteria for 1st degree arson. Could be trouble.

1. Current spectators: me, Jackie Wagstaff and AP, WRAL and News & Observer reporters. half a minute ago via TweetDeck
2. (Superior judges regularly sit in other counties' courts, by the way.) less than a minute ago via TweetDeck
3. Jurors want the criteria for 1st-degree arson repeated. They want a legal definition of malice, too.

I can't decide whether or not these jurors are dumb or looking for a loop hole to give Crystal her get out of jail free card.

1. Things seem to be shaping up as I predicted they might in the story I wrote last night, which does not seem to have been posted on the Web. less than 10 seconds ago via Twitter for iPhone
2. The entire prosecution seems to hang on what the jury believes Crystal Mangum had in mind when she set a fire the night of Feb. 17. 2 minutes ago via Twitter for iPhone
3. The fifth element (Hm. Interesting name for a science fiction flick) concerns malicious intent. Without it, the jury may not convict. 3 minutes ago via Twitter for iPhone
4. Judge Jones read the five elements of felony first-degree arson twice. At the jury's request, he twice repeated element 5. 4 minutes ago via Twitter for iPhone
5. The prosecutor wants it noted that there need not be malice against property or property-owner. Defense agrees. Jury coming back now.

. The fifth element (Hm. Interesting name for a science fiction flick) concerns malicious intent. Without it, the jury may not convict. 3 minutes ago via Twitter

How can you set clothes on fire that belong to someone else (in an occupied dwelling) and it not be considered malicious unless of course CGM grills her burgers in a bathtub.
