The jury did ask for more exhibits today. They have been hard at work, trying to decide the case since last Tuesday.
Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, his father Bernard Kilpatrick, and his friend Bobby Ferguson are accused of running a criminal enterprise out of city hall.
Legal experts say the jury of eight women and four men is one of the most racially diverse juries they have seen in a long time in federal court.
