I don't know if Picton was smart enough to pull this off and get away with it for so long. Plus with all the weirdos that came and went on his farm it hards to tell if he did this or if one of the other "unsavory" characters that hung around him did it.
Plus as a side note a guy that was just killed in Oakville Ontario has links to the Pickton case - so the mystery continues.
At first I thought he did it but after reading several articles I'm not sure I have my doubts.

Jury asked the judge a question.

I just heard on the radio that the Judge (at this minute) is going over his earlier instructions to the jury in response to their question. He said he previously erred.
It's a bit confusing and there is no link right now about the latest development.

A Christmas tree decorated with lights and 26 white angels mysteriously appeared overnight Friday in the courtyard in front of the New Westminster courthouse where the jury deciding the fate of accused killer Robert (Willie) Pickton began its seventh day of verdict deliberations.
The tree was apparently left anonymously. Its lights now have been plugged in and it provides some seasonal cheer for those gathered at the courthouse to await the verdict, including the families of victims.
The jury was silent again Friday morning after coming back Thursday with a question.

I had to come back and post this better photo of the angels. They are obviously hand made and absolutely beautiful. What a lovely gesture! Click to view the larger image.

The jury in Robert William Pickton's murder trial is to begin delivering its verdict in New Westminster, B.C., at 11:30 a.m. PT Sunday.
The seven men and five women on the jury will return to B.C. Supreme Court with their decision after eight days of deliberations.
Pickton, a 58-year-old pig farmer from Port Coquitlam, B.C., was charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of six women who went missing from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside Sereena Abotsway, Mona Wilson, Andrea Joesbury, Brenda Wolfe, Marnie Frey and Georgina Papin.

Guilty - 6 counts of second degree murder, according to the CBC(Canadian Broadcast Corp) live from the courthouse.
Finally justice has been done for the six victims and their families. Long trial, long time for a verdict, but finally justice has prevailed.
The juries are "not working", they were given a charge by the judge, were separated from the public and they deliberate until they have a verdict. It is not like they have a job "and" are given days off. Everyone is waiting for the verdict. They are given breaks, meals etc. But their "job" is to come up with a verdict, be it 10 minutes or 10 days.
