According to the judge, the jury wants:

* David Pecker’s testimony regarding a phone conversation with Donald Trump while Pecker was in the investor meeting.

* Pecker's testimony about the decision not to finalize and fund the assignment of Karen McDougal's life rights.

* Pecker's testimony regarding a Trump Tower meeting.

* Michael Cohen's testimony regarding the Trump Tower meeting.

Just my speculation, but given these requests from the jury it looks like they're focusing on the catch-and-kill through the National Enquirer, not on Cohen so much. Since Trump praised Cohen, and since the defense never attacked Pecker, this could mean the jury believes the catch-and-kill is the lynchpin of the scheme.

"As we await the jurors, prosecutors and defense attorneys are paging through binders, seemingly on a search for the passages in question."

"Judge Juan Merchan asked if they can disable the WiFi capability on the laptop that the jury has. Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger said they'd look tonight and make sure it's off."

To keep them from looking at anything not related to the case, methinks ...

Personal opinion ... However the jury concludes, my impression is that they're taking this seriously and doing their due diligence. This isn't the O.J. trial jury who blew it off because they wanted to go home.
