Good Evening. This is News 7 at FIVE, Keith Humphry reporting.

Jurors had been deliberating a couple of hours this morning, when they came
out with a request.
They wanted to know if they could have certain specific passages of
testimony read back to them.
In just the last hour, the jury was back in the courtroom.
Dave Fehling says they want to hear the testimony of the limo driver... the
man who took Simpson to the Los Angeles airport the night Simpson's ex-wife and
Ronald Goldman were killed.
