Pause in Drumm trial deliberations as juror is "indisposed"
Summary
The jury in the conspiracy to defraud and false accounting trial of former Anglo Irish Bank CEO David Drumm paused their deliberations because one juror was "indisposed" and could not attend court. Judge Karen O'Connor informed the jury that they had no alternative but to send them home for the day, with courts services in contact with the juror and expected to provide further information later. The jury, composed of nine men and three women, had begun considering a verdict on Tuesday, day 81 of proceedings, after a 16‑week trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. They had deliberated for a total of three hours and nine minutes. Judge O'Connor reminded the jurors that a unanimous verdict was required for both counts against Mr Drumm (51), but that each count could be considered separately, allowing for acquittal or conviction on either or both. David Drumm pleaded not guilty.
