Jury in Nally trial sequestered to hotel

The jury in the manslaughter trial of Mayo farmer Padraig Nally has been sent to a hotel for the night after failing to reach a verdict at the Central Criminal Court in Dublin today.

The jury of eight men and four women heard closing speeches from both sides and was told by the judge to approach the case in a cold, clinical and dispassionate fashion. They had been deliberating for three and a half hours before being sent to the hotel.
