🔺 Update from Tommy Robinson trial where the jury have asked to look at the witness statements again. It’s beginning to look like this will be going on another day

🔴 TOMMY ROBINSON TRIAL UPDATE LATEST - The judge has told the jury that he will accept a majority verdict of 10–2. Jurors have broken for lunch and are due to resume deliberations at 2pm. This means at least 10 of the 12 jurors must agree on a verdict of guilty or not guilty. It does not reveal how the jury is currently divided or indicate which outcome is likely. There is no fixed deadline for a verdict. If jurors remain unable to reach an acceptable majority, the judge may eventually discharge them, resulting in a hung jury on any unresolved charge. A hung jury is neither a conviction nor an acquittal. The prosecution would then decide whether to pursue a retrial before a fresh jury. Would that allow everyone to discuss the case freely? No While a retrial is being considered or awaited, contempt rules continue to protect the fairness of proceedings. The media and participants can report permitted developments, but public commentary or interviews that risk seriously prejudicing a future trial could amount to contempt. Reporting restrictions must also be respected. Jurors must not disclose their private deliberations, even after being discharged.
