Petru Pinto's trial for assault causing harm ended without a verdict at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, reported on 30 November 2018.

The charge related to an alleged incident at an astroturf pitch in Ellenfield Park, Santry, Dublin, involving another player.

The jury told Judge Pauline Codd it could not reach the required agreement after just under three hours of deliberations.

The case was adjourned until 10 December for mention, while the evidence included competing accounts of whether the incident occurred during a tackle.
