The jury in the trial of Ryan Giggs has been discharged after failing to reach a verdict on any of the three counts he faced during a four-week domestic violence case at Manchester Crown Court.
This leaves the former Manchester United footballer, 48, potentially facing a retrial, with the Crown Prosecution Service to consider the public interest of one. They will decide next week whether there will be a retrial, which would not take place until June 2023.
Following more than 20 hours of deliberations, the jury of seven women and four men, having lost one juror to illness, failed to reach any verdicts. Jurors first went out to consider verdicts late on the afternoon of August 23.
