Jury expected to retire today in pack rape case

The jury will retire today in the High Court trial of four men accused of pack rape.

The men, whose names and occupations are suppressed, deny raping and abducting a woman at Mt Maunganui in 1989.

In closing their cases last week, the Crown and the defence asked the jury to consider the credibility of the complainant. The Crown said she was consistent and balanced while the defence has argued too much of her evidence did not stack up.

The last of the four defence lawyers will sum up this morning.
