Nicholas jury into third day

The jury considering sex charges against Assistant Commissioner Clint Rickards and two former police officers will start its third day of deliberations today.

The jury of seven women and five men was unable to reach a verdict on 20 sex charges by 8.45pm yesterday. Jurors retired for their second evening in a hotel. Rickards, Bob Schollum and Brad Shipton deny the charges, relating to Rotorua woman Louise Nicholas.

Earlier yesterday, the jury had asked for clarification on aspects of the judge's three-hour summing-up.
