Hospitalised Anglo juror cannot finish deliberations

A juror who sat through the longest criminal trial in the State’s history has been hospitalised and will not be able to conclude deliberations.

Jurors have been deliberating for more than 28 hours over the course of six days days in the trial of four former bankers alleged to have conspired to mislead investors about the true financial health of Anglo Irish Bank.

They will return today to begin a seventh day considering a verdict.
