WATCH HEREIt was a quiet day in Norfolk Superior Court, though there was some activity in the courtroom and the case.
As she has throughout the trial, Cannone asked jurors Monday morning if they were able to refrain from discussing the trial or doing any independent investigation. The jurors were then sent back out to continue their deliberations shortly after 9 a.m.

SIGN UP Supporters of Read gathered across from the courthouse on Monday, using the American Sign Language sign for love as Read entered. Jackson had asked them earlier to keep the noise down.
As she left court Monday morning, Read was a bit upset. Her defense team filed a motion to amend the verdict slip, but it was denied by Cannone.

"I think what happened last year with the same verdict form, jurors themselves said they found it confusing," she said. "We just wanted to avoid that again."
The 12-person jury — seven women and five men — are charged with determining whether or not Read is responsible for the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe.
For more than two hours on Friday, the jurors listened to both the defense and the prosecution make their final case, before they were sent off to deliberate.
On the verdict slip are three charges — second-degree murder, manslaughter while driving under the influence and leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death.
The jurors had about an hour and a half to deliberate on Friday before being sent home for the weekend.
Read is accused of backing into and killing O'Keefe with her SUV over three years ago. Her defense team has maintained that she is being framed for the crime.
During closing arguments, defense attorney Alan Jackson tried to make the case to the jurors that law enforcement did not adequately or professionally investigate, therefore she should be found not guilty on the basis of reasonable doubt.
Special prosecutor Hank Brennan brushed off the defense's claims of a "grand conspiracy" during the state's closing.
"It leads to one person, the defendant," Brennan said, pointing to Read. "John is not a body. He was a person. And he was murdered by Karen Read."
