Still no verdict in McGrath

There is still no sign of a verdict at the High Court trial in Christchurch of former religious brother Bernard McGrath.

The 58-year-old is facing 44 charges relating to allegations dating back to the 1970s at the St John of God Marylands School in Christchurch.

Jurors have now been out since midday on Monday.

This morning the jury did ask one question of Justice Chisholm, to clarify when another brother taught at the school and how it related to the accused's time at the school.
