  After three days of deliberations, a federal jury in Miami still hasn't reached a verdict in the trial of a one of the men accused of kidnapping and murdering the captain and crew of the charter boat Joe Cool. There won't be a verdict Friday either because there are no deliberations. They'll resume on Monday.

On Thursday, the jurors sent a note to U.S. District Judge Paul Huck asking if Guillermo Zarabozo was "automatically" guilty of a crime if he brought a gun aboard, even if he didn't know something bad would happen.

Zarabozo testified that he brought a handgun in his luggage but blamed the killings on Kirby Archer, who has pleaded guilty in the case. Zarabozo testified he was unaware that Archer planned to commandeer the boat and that Archer shot all four victims using Zarabozo's weapon.

His lawyers say under that scenario, Zarabozo should not be convicted for simply carrying the gun aboard.

Prosecutor Karen Gilbert, however, says the question was vague and urged Huck to direct the jurors to consider his legal instructions carefully to find the answer. The judge decided to do just that, and jurors ended deliberations a short time later.

Earlier during deliberations, jurors asked to see some of the exhibits presented in the case on Thursday.

Among the exhibits jurors requested: records detailing how Zarabozo and Archer checked into several local hotels including one on Miami Beach days prior to the Sept. 22, 2007 hijacking of the Joe Cool; records of other telephone calls made by Archer; photographs of the boat at sea after the killings.

Jurors also requested the transcript of the testimony by Carlos Mulet, a Hialeah mechanic, who introduced Zarabozo to Archer and had first been recruited to help them steal a boat.

Mulet testified last week that he knew of the plot but did not take part in it. When on the stand, he told jurors he was ''the only other person'' besides Zarabozo and Archer who knew of their plan. Mulet said Zarabozo believed the hijacking was necessary to secure a 'mysterious big job' that Archer had promised him. Mulet said Archer, who had been a military policeman in the Army, claimed he had connections with the CIA and had promised Zarabozo he could get him a one million dollar security job in the Bahamas. Mulet said he initially went along with the pair because he thought Archer's CIA connections could help him clear up his bad traffic record which had kept him from getting insurance. In the end, Mulet said, he decided not to accompany the pair because it meant that he would have had to leave town and his family.

During closing arguments on Tuesday, prosecutors told the jury Zarabozo and Archer chartered the boat a year ago for their phony trip to the Bahamas. Prosecutor Karen Gilbert said in reality the two men intended to hijack the boat and ultimately sail to Cuba because Archer was under investigation in Arkansas for theft and child sexual abuse.

Defense attorneys argued that Zarabozo was an unwitting participant in the crime and it was Archer who masterminded the hijacking and committed the murders. Archer, who has already pleaded guilty to the crimes, will be sentenced next month.

Zarabozo took the stand in his own defense on Monday and testified he was in the boat's bathroom when he heard shots and commotion. When he came out, he saw Archer holding Zarabozo's gun.

Zarabozo said Kirby ordered him at gunpoint to help throw the Joe Cool crew members' bodies overboard and clean up the blood. He insisted he only helped throw the bodies overboard because he was scared that Archer would kill him. Prosecutors say his testimony often contradicted prior statements he made to the FBI about the fateful voyage.

Zarabozo faces charges of Kidnapping, Robbery and Murder. The jury may convict him of first degree murder, second degree murder or felony murder.
