Jurors in the trial of Ponca City attorney Scott Loftis deliberated until 10 p.m. Monday before breaking for the night.

The jury will reconvene at 9 a.m. Tuesday to continue deciding Loftis' guilt or innocence on four complaints. Three of the charges are related to conspiracy to bring contraband into a penal institution and one count of possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute.

Judge Louis Duel asked the foreman if the jury was making progress. The foreman said they were poring over the documents in their notes. 

"You are telling me if you have more time you can make more progress, right?" Judge Louis Duel asked. The foreman said yes.

"I'm going to dismiss everyone for the night and resume in the morning. Take al the time you need as long as you are making progress. At this point it is so crucial that you not read anythign in the paper or online. I have given you the law that is applicable in this case. Please do not go home and do any research. You are only allowed to look at what has been presented on the witness stand. "
