SAN DIEGO -- The judge in the David Westerfield trial will hold a hearing on a sealed motion filed by the defense.

Court officials say Judge William Mudd has scheduled a hearing at 9:30 a.m. Thursday in San Diego on a motion filed by Westerfield's attorneys.

Westerfield is accused of kidnapping and killing seven-year-old Danielle van Dam in early February. Today is the fifth day of deliberations in the case.

The six-man, six-woman jury has asked to review all the pornographic evidence collected from Westerfield's home.

They've also asked to look at photos of his ex-girlfriend's daughter, also named Danielle. Jurors also requested the tape of Westerfield's interview with police.

today was my estimate of the minimum time for a verdict. I based it on the length of time it took for the closing arguments and assumed that deliberations would take at least that long. If they are done and go for innocent or hung jury they will return today. If I were them and we were going for guilty I would wait till tomorrow.
