London - The Old Bailey jurors in the Jill Dando murder trial were sent to a hotel last night after a day considering their verdict.
Mr Justice Gage warned the members of the jury not to discuss the case with anyone or even among themselves overnight, and told them to return to the Old Bailey today at 9.15 a.m.
The five men and seven women, who spent four hours and 50 minutes considering the evidence yesterday, have been told not to think they are under any pressure.
Mr Barry George (41) from Fulham, south-west London, has denied murdering Ms Dando on April 26th, 1999.
