"There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media" in high-profile trials, said John J. Donohue III, a Stanford Law School professor who studied the Connecticut death penalty and wrote a report that said it was arbitrarily enforced. Professor Donohue said some appeals judges might be intrigued by the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer. The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution. The defense lawyers also claim, for example, that Mr. Hayes may have been prejudiced when Judge Blue declined to allow them to test potential jurors' reactions by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs during jury selection. Some of the jurors have said they were horrified by the photographs of the victims, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, and her daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11. The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror who had been critical of prosecutors and that he improperly added <t>pressure</t> for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "pressure" in the context: "...and that he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend."
The context is about a judge adding pressure (a force that compels, or an oppressive condition of mental/social distress, or a force that compels) for a verdict.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. physical force per unit area
2. a force that compels (e.g., public brought pressure to bear on the government)
3. the act of pressing
4. the state of demanding notice or attention
5. somatic sensation
6. an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress
7. atmospheric pressure

Wait, "added pressure for a verdict" means a force that compels the jury to reach a verdict.
Sense 2: "a force that compels" - examples: "the public brought pressure to bear on the government". This fits "added pressure for a verdict".
Sense 6: "an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress".
Let's consider "pressure" as a force that compels. "added pressure for a verdict" -> compelling the jury to reach a verdict.
Is it sense 2 or sense 6?
"added pressure for a verdict" -> a force that compels.
Let's check the examples for sense 2: "the public brought pressure to bear on the government".
"added pressure for a verdict" is similar to bringing pressure to bear.
Let's check sense 6: "an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress". This is more like "the pressure of work" or "under pressure".
"added pressure for a verdict" is a force that compels (the jury to reach a verdict).
Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"added pressure for a verdict" -> a force that compels.
Yes, sense 2.
"pressure%1:07:00::" -> a force that compels.
I will output {"sense_index": 2}.
Wait, could it be 6? "an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress". No, "added pressure for a verdict" is a force compelling them to reach a verdict.
I'll go with 2.

The target word is "decision" in the context: "...and that he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend."
The context refers to a judge's choice or act of making up his mind to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend.
Sense 1: the act of making up your mind about something (determination, conclusion). Example: the burden of decision was his.
Sense 2: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration. Example: a decision unfavorable to the opposition.
Sense 3: (boxing) a victory won on points.
Sense 4: the outcome of a game or contest.
Sense 5: the trait of resoluteness.

"his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend" refers to the act of making up his mind to do something, or the choice he made.
Wait, let's look at Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
Sense 1: the act of making up your mind about something.
Sense 2: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration.
In "his unusual decision to direct the jury...", it's the act of deciding to do something, or the choice made.
Let's check the examples for Sense 1: "the burden of decision was his".
For Sense 2: "a decision unfavorable to the opposition".
"his unusual decision to direct the jury" is an act of making up his mind to do something.
Wait, "decision to [verb]" usually aligns with Sense 1: the act of making up your mind about something.
Let's see: "decision to direct the jury" -> the act of making up his mind to direct the jury.
Is it Sense 1 or Sense 2?
WordNet sense 1: decision%1:04:00:: (the act of making up your mind about something)
WordNet sense 2: decision%1:09:00:: (a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration)
"his unusual decision to direct the jury" -> the act of deciding.
Let's consider "decision to [verb]". This is typically the act of making up one's mind.
Let's choose Sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend."
This is an act of making up his mind.
Let's check if there is a better fit.
Sense 1: the act of making up your mind about something.
Yes, "decision to [do something]" is the act of making up your mind.
I will choose 1.
Let's double check.
"his unusual decision to direct the jury" -> the act of making up his mind.
I'll go with 1.
Wait, could it be 2? "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration". A decision to do something is an act of deciding.
I'll output 1.
Let's review the prompt: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."
I will output {"sense_index": 1}.
Let's think if 1 is better than 2.
"decision to direct" -> act of making up your mind.
Yes, 1 is the best fit.
Another example: "the decision to go to war" -> act of making up your mind.
So 1.
Done.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "arguments" in the context: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest."
The context is about defense lawyers making claims, challenging the constitutionality, and arguing that the judge wrongly removed a juror.
The "arguments" here refer to a discussion or a set of reasons advanced for and against some proposition, or a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true (statement)
2. a contentious speech act; a dispute where there is strong disagreement (controversy, contention)
3. a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal (argumentation, debate)
7. a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning (argumentation, logical argument, line of reasoning, line)

Wait, "their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial"
Is it sense 1 (a fact or assertion offered as evidence) or sense 7 (a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood)?
Let's re-read the context: "The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror... But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest. They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news..."
Here, "arguments" refers to the reasons or assertions they are making.
Sense 1: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true"
Sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning"
Wait, "arguments" in legal contexts often means "a course of reasoning" or "a fact or assertion".
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true"
For sense 7: "I can't follow your line of reasoning"
In the context, "their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial" -> they are making assertions/reasons.
Could it be sense 1? "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true"
Or sense 7? "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood"
Let's consider "argument" as "a course of reasoning". "Their arguments about the effect..."
Actually, in WordNet, "argument" sense 1 is "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true".
Sense 7 is "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning".
"their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial" -> they are presenting reasons/assertions.
Let's look at similar examples. "The defense lawyers also claim... The defense lawyers say they will also challenge... But their arguments about the effect..."
This is a set of reasons or assertions.
Is it sense 1 or sense 7?
"argument" as in "legal arguments" is often sense 1 or 7.
Let's look at sense 1: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true"
Sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood"
"their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage" -> they are making assertions/claims. "They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news..." This is an assertion offered as evidence.
Wait, let's search for "argument" in legal contexts. "The lawyer presented a strong argument." -> sense 1 or 7?
If it's "arguments" (plural), it often means "assertions" or "reasons".
Let's check sense 1: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true"
Let's check sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood"
"their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial"
I think sense 1 fits "assertions offered as evidence".
Wait, sense 1 is "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true".
Sense 7 is "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood".
"arguments" here refers to the points they are making. "They noted... that the case dominated the news". This is an assertion.
Let's consider sense 1.
Is there any other sense?
Sense 3: "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal" (debate). Not a discussion here, but the points themselves.
So it's between 1 and 7.
"their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage" -> "their assertions about the effect..."
"argument" = "assertion" -> sense 1.
Let's choose sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read sense 1: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true".
"their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest. They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news..."
Yes, they are offering assertions as evidence.
Let's consider sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood". "I can't follow your line of reasoning".
"arguments" (plural) usually aligns better with "assertions" (sense 1) than "a course of reasoning" (sense 7, which is often singular "an argument" or "line of reasoning").
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"argument" (1): a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true.
"argument" (7): a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood.
"their arguments" -> their assertions.
I will go with 1.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms for 1: statement.
Synonyms for 7: argumentation, logical argument, line of reasoning, line.
"their arguments" -> "their statements/assertions".
Yes, sense 1.
Let's review the context again. "The defense lawyers also claim... The defense lawyers say they will also challenge... But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest."
"arguments" = claims/assertions.
Sense 1 is the best.

Target lemma: interest
Target surface form: interest
Context:
The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution. The defense lawyers also claim, for example, that Mr. Hayes may have been prejudiced when Judge Blue declined to allow them to test potential jurors' reactions by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs during jury selection. Some of the jurors have said they were horrified by the photographs of the victims, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, and her daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11. The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror who had been critical of prosecutors and that he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend. The jurors were not sequestered. But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most <t>interest</t>. They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate.

The target word is "interest" in the context: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest."
The context is about the arguments drawing attention or curiosity.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something (involvement)
2. a reason for wanting something done (sake)
3. the power of attracting or holding one's attention (because it is unusual or exciting etc.) (interestingness)
4. a fixed charge for borrowing money
5. (law) a right or legal share of something
6. (usually plural) a social group whose members control some field of activity
7. a diversion that occupies one's time and thoughts

"draw the most interest" -> attract the most attention.
Sense 3: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention (because it is unusual or exciting etc.)" synonyms: interestingness.
Wait, "draw interest" means to attract attention.
Let's check sense 1: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something". "draw the most interest" could be sense 1 or 3.
"draw interest" -> attract attention.
Sense 3 definition: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention (because it is unusual or exciting etc.)"
Wait, if it's "draw the most interest", it means it will attract the most attention.
Let's see: "they said nothing of great interest" (sense 3).
"an interest in music" (sense 1).
"draw the most interest" -> attract the most attention.
Is it sense 1 or 3?
"draw interest" is often associated with "attracting or holding one's attention".
Let's look at similar examples. "The arguments may draw the most interest."
If I say "draw interest", it means to attract attention.
Sense 3: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention"
Sense 1: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something"
Actually, "draw interest" means to attract attention. "Interest" here is the power of attracting attention.
Wait, "draw the most interest" -> "attract the most attention".
Let's consider "interest" as "the power of attracting or holding one's attention".
Synonyms: interestingness.
Let's check WordNet for "draw interest".
"interest" (noun)
1. a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something
2. a reason for wanting something done
3. the power of attracting or holding one's attention (because it is unusual or exciting etc.)
"draw the most interest" -> attract the most attention.
I will choose sense 3.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest."
Could it be sense 1? "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something".
If someone draws interest, they attract attention.
Let's search my internal knowledge for "draw the most interest".
"draw interest" -> attract attention.
Sense 3: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention"
Let's choose 3.
Wait, "interest" in "draw the most interest" is the attention itself or the power to attract?
"draw interest" = attract attention.
If I say "this book has a lot of interest", it has the power of attracting attention.
If I say "he showed an interest in the book", it's sense 1.
Here, "draw the most interest" -> attract the most attention.
I'll go with 3.
Let's double check.
"draw the most interest" -> "attract the most attention".
Sense 3: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention"
Yes, 3 is the best fit.
Another option: 1. "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something".
"draw the most curiosity"? No, "draw the most attention".
So 3 is better.
Let's confirm.
"interest" (3) the power of attracting or holding one's attention.
Examples: "they said nothing of great interest; primary colors can add interest to a room"
"draw the most interest" -> attract the most attention.
I will output 3.

The target word is "challenge" in the context: "They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut..."
The context is about defense lawyers questioning or objecting to the verdict, demanding an explanation or review.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a demanding or stimulating situation

3. questioning a statement and demanding an explanation (e.g., his challenge of the assumption that Japan is still our enemy)
4. a formal objection to the selection of a particular person as a juror
5. a demand by a sentry for a password or identification

Wait, "challenge to the verdict" means questioning the verdict and demanding an explanation or review.
Sense 3: questioning a statement and demanding an explanation.
Is it sense 3? Let's check sense 4: "a formal objection to the selection of a particular person as a juror". The text says "challenge to the verdict", not to a juror.
So sense 3 is the best fit.
Let's double check. "challenge to the verdict" -> questioning the verdict.
Sense 3: questioning a statement and demanding an explanation.
Yes, "challenge" here means questioning the validity of the verdict.
Let's review the options.
1. demanding or stimulating situation
2. call to engage in a contest or fight
3. questioning a statement and demanding an explanation
4. formal objection to the selection of a particular person as a juror
5. demand by a sentry for a password or identification

"challenge to the verdict" -> questioning the verdict.
Therefore, sense 3 is the correct one.
Let's confirm the sense index.

The context talks about the case dominating the "news" in Connecticut, meaning the information reported in newspapers, news magazines, or news broadcasts.

2. information reported in a newspaper or news magazine (the news of my death was greatly exaggerated)
3. a program devoted to current events (news program, news show)

Wait, "dominated the news" usually refers to the information reported in newspapers, news magazines, or news broadcasts. Sense 2: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine".
Let's re-read sense 2: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine".
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"dominated the news in Connecticut" -> the news media, the news reports.
Sense 2 fits "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine" or news broadcasts.
Let's check sense 1: "information about recent and important events".
Sense 2 is specifically "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine".
Wait, the context says "the case dominated the news in Connecticut". This refers to the news media's reporting.
Let's consider "news" as in "the news" (the media reports).
Sense 2: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine".
Let's see if there is a better fit.
"the news of my death was greatly exaggerated" -> sense 2.
"dominated the news" -> the news reports.
I will choose sense 2.
Wait, let's look at sense 1: "information about recent and important events".
"they awaited news of the outcome"
"dominated the news" -> the news (as a collective body of reported information).
Sense 2 is "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine".
Let's choose 2.
Wait, "the news" as a medium.
"the case dominated the news in Connecticut"
Could it be 2? Yes.

"news%1:10:01::" -> information reported in a newspaper or news magazine.
"news%1:10:00::" -> information about recent and important events.
"dominated the news" -> the news media.
I'll go with 2.
Wait, "the news" in "dominated the news" is often sense 2.
Let's review the examples for sense 2: "the news of my death was greatly exaggerated".
Is there any other sense?
"news%1:10:01::" is the best fit for "the news" as in news reports.

Context:
The defense lawyers also claim, for example, that Mr. Hayes may have been prejudiced when Judge Blue declined to allow them to test potential jurors' reactions by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs during jury selection. Some of the jurors have said they were horrified by the photographs of the victims, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, and her daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11. The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror who had been critical of prosecutors and that he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend. The jurors were not sequestered. But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest. They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election <t>campaign</t> by candidates for governor and the United States Senate.

The target word is "courthouse".
Context: "The daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the courthouse," the lawyers wrote, "was unlike anything ever seen here in New Haven and maybe statewide."
The context is about a trial, a judge, a jury, a verdict, and media coverage outside the building where the trial is taking place.
Sense 1: a government building that houses the offices of a county government
Sense 2: a building that houses judicial courts

The context clearly refers to a building where judicial courts are housed (where the trial, judge, jury, and verdict are happening).
Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"courthouse%1:06:00::" -> a building that houses judicial courts.
"courthouse%1:06:01::" -> a government building that houses the offices of a county government.
The context is about a trial, judge, jury, verdict. This is a judicial court.
So sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "focus" in the context: "Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial."
The context talks about the jurors' arguments and their attention or concentration on the Twitter coverage.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=focus%1:09:00:: | definition=the concentration of attention or energy on something | synonyms=focusing, focussing, focal point, direction, centering | examples=the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology; he had no direction in his life

7. sense_key=focus%1:15:00:: | definition=a fixed reference point on the concave side of a conic section

"focus on the Twitter coverage" means the concentration of attention or energy on something.
Sense 1 fits perfectly: "the concentration of attention or energy on something".
Let's double check. "Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial." -> Their concentration of attention on the Twitter coverage.
Sense 1 is the best match.
Sense 5 is "special emphasis attached to something", but "focus on" usually aligns with "concentration of attention".
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology".
Yes, "focus on" -> concentration of attention.
I will choose sense 1.
