"Jurors break in mother’s murder trial

The jurors spent four hours reviewing the case yesterday before breaking for the weekend. Plymouth Superior Court Judge Charles Hely declined one of their requests to see written copies of reports from three physicians who gave varying accounts of how the child died.
