The jury in the trial of Jana Giron—the woman accused of killing two people in a 2019 car crash—was unable to reach a verdict Wednesday afternoon at Pima County Superior Court.The jury did deliberate Wednesday, but families of crash victims Caitlin Festerling and Paul Garcia, will have to wait until at least Thursday for that verdict.

For the defense, their closing arguments focused on trying to convince the jury of any potential for reasonable doubt, while sticking to their defense that this was a tragic accident.Much of this case has been focused on deleted text messages, including one Giron sent at 3:39 p.m. the day of the crash, and a reply she received at 3:40 p.m., before the first 911 call was made at 3:41 p.m.
