See more detailed  KEPR report: "Our colleagues at the Tri-City Herald report the jury made a few requests during deliberations.  The paper says these included a replay of the 911 call Jacobsen made when Ryder Morrison fell ill at home.  The Tri-City Herald also reports the jury requested to read the transcript of testimony given by forensic pathologist, Dr. Daniel Selove.  This request was denied.  Finally, the paper reports the jury asked a question to the judge on Thursday and was told they had to work off their memory and notes while trying to come to a unanimous decision."
