A judge begins summarising evidence in the trial of Jeffrey Donaldson on alleged sex offences, after which the jury prepares to consider its verdict. Multiple reports say Judge Paul Ramsey delivers his charge to the jury before sending the panel out to deliberate. One outlet reports that Judge Ramsey instructs jurors to consider each charge separately. The jury composition is also described in coverage: it is made up of five women and seven men. After the judge completes his summary, the court proceeds with deliberations and the jury retires to reach a decision. Several sources state that the jury’s retirement follows the conclusion of the judge’s charge, with the next stage being their consideration of the verdict. The reports do not describe the underlying allegations or evidence in detail, focusing instead on the procedural stage of the trial and the judge’s directions to the jury.
