Jobstown jury to resume deliberations

The jury in the ‘Jobstown Six’ trial resumes its deliberations later.

Solidarity TD Paul Murphy and five others deny charges of falsely imprisoning former Tánaiste Joan Burton, and her adviser Karen O’Connell at a water charge protest in November 2014.

In her directions to the jury yesterday, the judge said the restraint of Joan Burton must have been total and intentional for it to amount to false imprisonment.

The jury will continue considering its verdict this afternoon.
