Jury to resume for third day

The jury that is set to determine the fate of one of the country's most senior police officers will on Friday enter its third day of deliberations in the high profile rape case.

Assistant police commissioner Clint Rickards, and former officers Bob Schollum and Brad Shipton deny a raft of sex charges involving Louise Nicholas dating back two decades.

The seven women and five men began deliberating on Wednesday afternoon - coming back on several occasions to ask questions of the judge.

On Thursday afternoon, the judge held a meeting with Crown and defence lawyers behind closed doors - but it's not known what was discussed.
