Is Nathanial Brazill a cold blooded murderer or was the shooting of his

This is the question facing jurors in their first full day of deliberation. To help them make this judgement .. they asked to review
key evidence.
The panel watched the school surviellance tape - twice.
This was the prosecutions strongest evidence...video of Nathaniel Brazill aiming a hand gun. Followed by pictures of teacher Barry Grunow
lying on the floor.
And that wasn't all. Early afternoon - the nine woman - three man jury
began listening to read-back of the testimony of several witnesses..including testimony from the 14 year old defendant.
The jurors requests have raised fears among Brazill's family and supporters. They are uncertain of what this could mean for the teenage
boy.
Rev.Thomas Masters/Brazill family supporter.
"It doesn't necessarily mean it is going to be better...the longer they
are out because maybe one or two jurors are trying to be persuaded one way or another and they may be pursuaded the wrong way."
If convicited of first degree murder - Brazill will go to prison
for life with no chance of parole. And while he admits to the fatal
shooting last may at Lakeworth middle schoool - Brazill's attorney has
argued it was an accident and his client should receive nothing more
than manslaughter. ))

But when the eight week old cat tried to jump into the bucket, he missed.
He fell with legs outstretched like a skydiver until he hit the ground on his belly.
