ELKHORN, Wis. (AP) - The jurors deciding whether Mark Jensen killed his wife are deliberating again today after a more than 14-hour day yesterday.

Several times yesterday they've asked for pieces of evidence, including Julie Jensen's letter that she left with a neighbor to give to police if anything should happen to her.

It pointed the finger at Mark Jensen if she was harmed.

They also asked for police photos from the scene the day she was found dead, the Jensen family computer's Internet history and 1991 divorce papers that were never acted upon.

The 48-year-old Mark Jensen is accused of poisoning and suffocating his wife.

The defense counters that Julie Jensen was depressed, and that she committed suicide and left a letter pointing the finger at her husband to frame him.
