While the jury was in retirement, the court heard posters had been put up on bus
stops and lampposts near the building which said: "The jury decide not the
judge," "Jury equity is when a jury acquits someone on moral grounds," and:
"Jurors can give a not guilty verdict even when they believe a defendant has
broken the law."

The prosecution said it was aware of the signs being put up in public places
during the trial which set out the principle of "jury equity" - the capacity of
a jury to return a verdict according to conscience - and that police had been
taking the posters down.

"The way that we have been dealing with it is asking the local police to remove
them from bus stops, lampposts, but they keep reappearing," Deanna Heer KC told
the judge.

One juror sent an email to the court flagging they had seen the displays, saying
it seemed someone was "trying to influence the jury and their decisions".
