1/28/13 - Today marks the third full day of deliberations in the murder trial of 66-year-old Jerome Kowalski. Prosecutors say Kowalski murdered his brother Richard and sister-in-law Brenda in their Oceola Township home in 2008. Kowalski's story since first coming forward has changed several times, ranging from full confession to complete denial. Closing arguments were heard and deliberations began on Wednesday, with more than 10 days' worth of evidence for the jury to discuss. On Friday, the jury asked to spend today re-watching an interview that took place between the defendant and Michigan State Police Detective 1st Lieutenant Sean Furlong, the recording of which is about five hours long. Friends and family of Kowalski who have attended the trial to show their support say they want the jury to take their time in reaching the correct verdict. Stay tuned to WHMI for the latest developments in the case. (JK)
