The jurors gain more time to study the evidence.
A judge has postponed the deliberations of the Bahamas jury tasked with deciding DANIEL SMITH's cause of death, the Associated Press reports. The latest twist in the inquest of ANNA NICOLE SMITH's 20-year-old son came on Thursday when magistrate WILLIAM CAMPBELL said the jury would reconvene on March 31.
"The evidence appears to be simple, but it requires more time for review," he said.
The seven-member jury can recommend criminal charges if it identifies any misconduct, though police have already said there is no evidence of homicide, according to the AP.
As we previously reported, Daniel was found dead at Nassau's Doctors Hospital on September 10, 2006. After that, two autopsies showed a toxic mix of methadone and the anti-depressants Lexapro and Zoloft. But the Bahamas police forensics chief testified that the high level of methadone was enough to have killed Daniel, and that he could have had it in his system when he landed the night before.
