The judge running the trial of the so-called "Liquid Bombers" has told the jury that it may return a verdict without unanimous agreement.
The judge, Mr. Justice Calvert-Smith, gave the jury the "majority option" on Thursday, their eleventh day of deliberation. The jury can now convict or acquit the defendants based on an 11-1 or even a 10-2 majority. The move by Mr. Justice Calvert-Smith was not unexpected. |
