Christie Brinkley's Long Island divorce trial has been halted for a second time -- and the model says she's praying for a settlement.
The trial was put on hold for several hours on Wednesday. The testimony had resumed when the opposing lawyers passed a note, whispered and went into the judge's chambers. The case has now been adjourned until Thursday.
The lawyers declined comment. But earlier, Brinkley was asked while leaving the courthouse if a settlement was in the works. She pressed her palms together as in prayer, and replied: "It's what I hope and pray for."
The former Sports Illustrated model was married to architect Peter Cook for a decade before his affair with a teenager vaulted their troubles into the public light in 2006.
