Bunnell trial: Case goes to jury, no verdict yet

PROVIDENCE -- The jury in the trial of Katherine Bunnell, charged with murder in the beating death of 3-year-old Thomas "T.J." Wright, began deliberating today and did not reach a verdict.

The jury was behind closed doors for about three hours in Providence County Superior Court and will resume tomorrow morning.

This morning, the jury heard different accounts of the events that led to T.J.'s death in closing arguments by defense and prosecution lawyers in Bunnell's trial.

Bunnell, 24, and her boyfriend at the time of T.J.'s death, Gilbert Delestre, 27, are being tried separately on the same charges.

Read about yesterday's developments, including Bunnell's testimony and that Delestre asserted his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
