Jury sent to consider verdict on Coronation Street's LeVell

The jury in the trial of Coronation Street’s Michael Le Vell was told today it must decide if the alleged victim is telling the truth or set out to “quite literally destroy the life” of the actor.

The eight women and four male jurors were sent out to consider their verdicts after being told by Judge Michael Henshell that their assessment of the alleged victim was “critical in this case.”
