EL PASO, Texas -- The sentencing phase of the trial for Fabian Hernandez will continue on Friday.

The jury will receive a break Thursday but will return on Friday to hear more testimony. Hernandez's defense is expected to call at least two more witnesses to the stand.

One week ago, the jury found Hernandez guilty of capital murder in the shooting deaths of his wife Renee Hernandez and her boyfriend Arturo Fonseca. Both were shot in the head.

The judge assured jurors Wednesday that the trial is on schedule and everything should be wrapped up before the Thanksgiving holiday next week.
