Cocaine trial jury sent to hotel overnight

Jurors who have spent the Summer listening to over 300 witnesses in the €440-million cocaine trial at Cork Circuit Criminal Court were sent away to a city hotel for the night and will resume their deliberations tomorrow.

They were sent out at 10.57am this morning to commence their deliberations on whether the three accused men are guilty or not guilty of the charges they face in the biggest drugs trial in the history of the State.
