A JURY in the trial of a man accused of the murder of 19-year-old Malakai McKenzie will continue their deliberations tomorrow.
The panel of six men and six women were sent home at 4.18pm today.
Mr Justice Royce asked them to return at 10am and urged they do not discuss the case until then.
He stressed that the essence of the jury system was that their decisions are reached when they were all together in the jury room.
And he asked that they should not put anything on Facebook or Twitter or the internet about the case.
They are considering the case against Cameron Cashin, 21, of Liddington Street, New Basford, who has been on trial since May 20 at Nottingham Crown Court.
He denies Mr McKenzie's murder, three counts of attempted murder and possessing a firearm.
On Monday two other men accused of the charges
were cleared at the trial on the direction of the judge.
Mr Justice Royce ordered that Malcolm Francis, 19, of Constance Street, Basford, and Ijah Lavelle-Moore, 21, of Nottingham Road, New Basford, should be found not guilty.
They denied the murder of Mr McKenzie, who died after being shot outside The Hubb pub in Hucknall Road, Sherwood, in the early hours of April 21, 2012.
They were further cleared on three counts of attempted murder. A fifth charge of possessing a firearm was deleted.
Prosecutors have said the fatal shooting was the third time in three months that Mr McKenzie had been shot at due to gang rivalry.
Jurors have watched CCTV footage of the moment Mr McKenzie was shot.
