MANCHESTER, England : The jury in the trial of former Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs was discharged on Wednesday after failing to reach verdicts on charges he committed assault on and used controlling behaviour towards his then girlfriend.
The jury of seven women and four men told the judge they had been unable to reach verdicts after a trial which lasted over three weeks.Judge Hilary Manley told Giggs that any retrial might not be held until June of next year. Giggs has been bailed until the CPS decision is made. "The systematic and at times violent abuse of a woman is what this case is all about, while all the time preying on her".
Giggs's defence, Chris Daw QC, said he"never once used unlawful violence against Kate Greville" saying the pair"behaved like squabbling children".
