Jury deliberations begin in Ed Sheeran's copyright infringement case
NEW YORK -- The copyright infringement case involving pop star Ed Sheeran is now in the hands of the jury.
They deliberated for a short time Wednesday before calling it a day.
Sheeran is accused of copying Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" when writing his own hit song "Thinking Out Loud."

Jury deliberations continue Thursday.
