The jury in the Brian Murphy manslaughter trial have been sent to a hotel for the night after failing to reach a verdict.
The jury will resume its deliberations tomorrow morning at the Circuit Criminal Court in Dublin.
Judge Michael White spent all of yesterday and this morning summarising the testimony of various witnesses who have given evidence in the case since it started on January 13th.
Mr Seán Mackey (23), from South Park, Foxrock, Mr Desmond Ryan (23), from Cunningham Road, Dalkey, all Co Dublin, and Mr Dermot Laide (22), from Rossvale, Castleblayney, Co Monaghan have pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter of 18-year-old Mr Murphy at Sussex Road on August 31st, 2000. Mr Andrew Frame (22), from Nutley Lane, Donnybrook, had also denied that charge but last week Judge White directed that he be found not guilty because of insufficient evidence against him.
All four former Blackrock College students have also denied committing violent disorder by using or threatening to use unlawful violence on the same date.
