FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - A fourth day of jury deliberations ended without a verdict in the trial of Dayonte Resiles.
Resiles, who appeared in court on Sunday, is accused of murdering Jill Su in her Davie home back in 2014.
He was arrested for the crime but escaped in 2016 during a court hearing.
Resiles was on the run for six days.
The trial started just before Thanksgiving. The jury requested to hear the testimony of the victim’s son, Justin Su, who testified earlier in the trial.
“What I see is incomprehensible, literally a bloodbath,” said the court reporter re-reading Justin’s testimony. “The water running, my mother’s face. I only see the back of her head. She’s just face-down in this bathtub that’s just full of blood and just smells like iron. So much blood. It was something no one should ever see in their life.”
During closing arguments on Friday, prosecutors told jurors that DNA evidence points to the defendant.
“No reasonable explanation why his DNA would be on the crime scene, and particularly on the items that it was on. He was there,” said prosecutor Maria Schneider.
Resiles’ defense attorneys, however, said that is not enough.
Monday night, jurors ended their deliberations for the day. They will resume Tuesday at 9 a.m.
Resiles faces the death penalty for Su’s death and nearly 70 more charges for his escape.
