Jury still out in Lawrence murder trial

A JURY will return to the Central Criminal Court today to consider its verdicts for a fifth day in the trial of Ruth Lawrence - who stands accused of shooting a drug dealer and working “as a unit” with her boyfriend to murder him and another man.

The panel of four men and eight women began considering their verdicts last Thursday and had deliberated for six hours and 50 minutes when the trial judge on Monday gave them the option of reaching a majority verdict on one or both counts, provided at least ten of them agreed.
