Fiona Onasanya Retrial
Jury, surprisingly in my view, couldn't come to a majority decision.

Given that one juror had been discharged, the majority needed was 10-1 ... so it only needed two jurors to be unconvinced (for whatever reason) and there could be no verdict. Unfortunatel y, I am far from surprised that the defendant's multiple 'get out of jail free' cards found some receptive ears.

"//She is a proven liar and has admitted three charges of perverting the course of justice// .......I can't see that in *any* of the articles."
I think it's brother Festus who has admitted the three charges, Naomi. It would be very unusual for the admissions to similar offences to become known whilst the defendant was still facing a trial for another offence. It would be bound to prejudice the trial.

Well she certainly 'lied' by saying she filled in the NIP form (as is required by law)
She didn't get to the Old Bailey on the strength of a minor speeding offence. She got there as a result of several interviews with the police who decided she was lying and convinced the CPS of the same.
(no mean feat, I'd say, given her position and how TPTB treasure community cohesion)
If she isn't a liar, an awful lot of other people are.

Indeed gromit. It's always easy to read what is written in the press (which may take you five to ten minutes) and reach your verdict. Jurors in this case have been listening to evidence from both sides for a week or so. They were also guided on the legal niceties by the judge who no doubt told them that they must be sure "beyond reasonable doubt" of the defendant's guilt.
Never a good idea to suggest "they should have found her guilty" from the comfort of your armchair whilst reading your favourite newspaper

no, just that there was a prospect of conviction.
The prosecutor must first decide whether or not there is enough evidence against the defendant for a realistic prospect of conviction.
