Eli Epiha trial: Jurors unable to reach unanimous decision on attempted murder charge
Jurors considering the fate of cop killer Eli Epiha are unable to reach a unanimous agreement on if he is also guilty of attempting to murder a second police officer.
The group sent out a note announcing the stalemate as they deliberate for a second day. Justice Geoffrey Venning then instructed them that he would allow a "majority verdict" if 11 of the 12 jurors are in agreement.
The jury began their second day of deliberations today by re-watching two videos that were submitted as evidence earlier in the trial. They then issued a list of four questions about an hour later before announcing their inability to reach a decision around 12.30pm.
