Team. obviously the judge. so he could. it's likely that he's going to send them back in. in fact, that's what we believe. at least that's the indication he gave to everyone in court, that he had planned to send them back in to try and figure out this one count. we don't know which count it is. that's the issue here. is it the last count? is it the first count? of course, these kind of counts all work together, so we don't really have any understanding of what count this is. the judge seemed to think he knew what they were talking about, but he didn't want to go there. he didn't want to furthe...

Minutes, the nudge wijudge will back the jury and we will see what next steps he will provide to the jury. >> we will be waiting for that. we are continuing to talk more of this. as we look at this, if it's just this one count as we heard from evan and the judge is saying, if you can't -- i'm sending you back in, if you can't come to a consensus on that, i'm going to accept what you found, on the other 17 counts, i mean, how quickly do we think we could learn what that decision is? >> we can learn pretty quickly here. we are learning the judge is basically having discussions with the two sides...

Questions. since then, there hasn't been any note of substantial questioning from this jury. so this is really the first time since thursday we've seen the jurors asking questions, showing that perhaps they have made substantial progress here but can't determine what to do about this one remaining count. so we're going to see in a little bit just exactly how the judge instructs this jury and presumably that jury will go back and try again on this one count. we'll see from there. it could be a while, or we might see something, some more movement today. >> jessica schneider, live outside the cou...

My view of it is -- it's always dangerous to speculate about this stuff. but if they have reached a decision on 17 counts, if you find somebody innocent on 17 counts, i don't know if you would be fooling around about the last count. i think you would probably find him innocent on that as well. >> you are saying, in your gut -- >> it feels like more probably than not, they may be looking at guilt on 17 counts and then they are having a problem with the evidence on the 18th count. as i say, this is speculation. >> i want to bring in evan perez, our justice reporter outside the courthouse. what m...
