The eight men and four women jury have sat through eight days of evidence, including Ms Hand, Mr McGregor and Mr Lawrence as well as doctors and two paramedics.

Speaking on Tuesday, Mr Farrell said his client had a “a forceful personality” and listed things Mr McGregor said or did in court that the jury may not have liked.

He referenced that there was a sharp intake of breath from the jury when Mr McGregor referred to Ms Hand and her friend as “two lovely ladies” on the stand during his testimony.
