Jury To Resume Deliberations In Police Trial

The jury in the sex trial of a high-ranking policeman and two former officers is set to resume deliberations this morning.

The Assistant Police Commissioner Clint Rickards, and Brad Shipton and Bob Schollum, are accused of kidnapping and indecently assaulting a 16 year old girl in the 1980s.

Mr Shipton and Mr Schollum deny the allegations.

Clint Rickards also says the allegations are false but in addition told the court he has never met the woman and if the incident happened, he was not there.

The jury started deliberating yesterday afternoon and retired for the night 8 hours later.

Deliberations are set to resume at about 9 o'clock.
