We spoke with Trooper Jenks father out in the hallway just now. He says today was the most difficult day in court.

I asked him what happens if the jury comes back with something less than first degree murder, he said he'll have to cross that bridge when he gets to it. He says it's in the Lords hands now.

The trooper's brother says he thinks Gauna should be convicted of first degree murder, saying he showed no remorse.

Neither defense attorney Blake Ballin or Gauna's family has talked with us.

We'll keep you updated with any questions the jury might ask and let you know as soon as a verdict is reached.

Hear more from the trooper's family tonight at 5 and 9.
