After a prosecuting lawyer had told the courtroom, that the defendants had participated with alacrity, in the crime;

during jury deliberations, the jury requested a dictionary from the judge,
citing the reason, that they hadn't comprehended all of the terms used by the attorney, for example, alacrity,

nor had those jury members (they admitted)
