After sitting through six days of officer and civilian testimony, the eight-member inquest jury tasked with reviewing the circumstances surrounding the death of Native American woodcarver John T. Williams was handed a list of 13 questions to answer this morning.

"You are the sole judges of the credibility of each witness," presiding Judge Arthur Chapman explained to the jury yesterday. "You are the sole judges of the weight and value of each witness’s testimony. You are responsible for noting any bias or prejudice the witness may have shown."

Each member of the jury will answer each question, and the total number of 'yes,' 'no,' or 'unknown' answers will be recorded next to the question. Judge Chapman added that, "You should endeavor to answer each question 'yes' or 'no' based on what the evidence supports," i.e., only answer 'unknown' as a last-resort cop out. The court will reconvene when each member of the jury has answered the questions. I'll update when that happens.
