Providence -- The jury in the Katherine Bunnell child-murder case began its third day of deliberations with no sign of progress but also without reporting a deadlock.

The jury of five men and seven women filed into the courtroom at 9:45 this morning, none of them giving the defendant, Katherine Bunnell, so much as a glance.

The jurors faces looked somber as they took their seats in the jury box.

Judge Gilbert V. Indeglia assurred the jurors that if they had questions, the questions would be answered.

"With that we'll send you upstairs and wait for your progress," the judge said.

Bunnell, 24, is on trial for murder and murder conspiracy. She is accused with her boyfriend, Gilbert Delestre, of fatally beating 3-year old Thomas "T.J." Wright when they returned to their Woonsocket apartment from a night out 3 1/2 years ago and found a mess on the livingroom floor.

"T.J." had been placed in their care when Bunnell's sister went to prison.
