New York — The judge in Donald Trump‘s criminal hush money trial dismissed jurors for the day on Wednesday after more than four hours of deliberations over their verdict for the former president.

Deliberations will resume again at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday. Before leaving, the jurors requested to rehear Judge Juan Merchan’s instructions about how to consider the evidence in the case.

The jury also asked to rehear testimony from former AMI CEO David Pecker and Trump’s ex-attorney Michael Cohen. Merchan said the court was still procuring the requested testimony as of 4:09 p.m. local time, and that it would take approximately 30 minutes to read back the jury instructions.

It is not immediately clear if the jury wants to hear all of Merchan’s instructions again or just a portion. Merchan said they can decide on that matter Thursday morning.

The jury is also open to decide Thursday if they want to deliberate until 6 p.m. local time, according to Fox News.

The 12-member jury, along with six alternate members, was dismissed after deliberating for more than four hours and after hearing Merchan’s instructions for the first time Wednesday morning.

Jurors are tasked with deciding whether Trump is guilty of 34 felony charges of falsifying business records related to hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.

Trump, who faces three other criminal cases while running for a second term in office, has pleaded not guilty to the charges in all cases.

The trial against Trump is already historic, but will become even more unprecedented if the presumptive Republican nominee sustains a felony conviction.

Jurors could decide multiple outcomes, including a mixed verdict, guilty on all counts, and acquittal on all counts. There’s also the possibility they may not reach a consensus on all or some of the charges.
