Jury Having Trouble Reaching Verdict In Creato Trial
CAMDEN, N.J. (CBS)-- Jurors in the murder trial of a Camden County father accused of killing his toddler will be in for another day of deliberations Wednesday, after spending most of the day Tuesday asking to review evidence.
3-year-old Brendan Creato was found dead in the woods two years ago, and now the fate of his father is in the hands of a jury.
Jurors At Creato Trial Listen, Again, To Defendant
The jury asked to review the first videotaped interview of DJ Creato when investigators told the 23-year-old that his son, Brendan, was found dead near a river bank in Haddon Township.
On the recording, Creato spends a few minutes cries for a few moments and then sits down to answer a detective's questions about the timeline surrounding his son disappeared.
He also says that his then-girlfriend didn't like that he had a child and it was a major strain on the relationship.
The jury made up of 3 men and 9 women also asked to review investigators timeline and testimony about Creato's cell phone and social media history.
Creato sat motionless as he listened to the reviewed evidence. He maintains his innocence.
