EL PASO, Texas -- There is still no verdict on the David Renteria resentencing hearing. The jury deliberated Tuesday for about seven hours before calling it a day. Renteria was convicted by a previous jury of killing 5-year-old Alexandra Flores and sentenced to death.An appellate court judge granted him a new sentencing hearing because the prior jury was left under the impression that Renteria showed no remorse for the killing.The current jury has the responsibility of answering two questions to help them come to their decision of life or death for Renteria.The jury must answer if they believe Renteria poses a threat to society and if there is anything that makes them believe he deserves a life sentence rather than a death sentence.The jury will continue their deliberations Wednesday morning.
