This is a capital charge and so it is necessary
that you seven gentlemen should be unanimous. I sincerely
hope that unanimity won't prove too difficult but after I
have asked Counsel whether there are any points that I have
not sufficiently stressed I am going to ask you to consider
your verdict.
Of course you are at liberty to retire if
you desire to do so.
The Chief Justice: Is there any point I have not put to the
Jury which you think I ahwald have Mr. Chen ?
Mr. Chen referred to a case where it made no difference
whether one blow had been struck or fifteen blows had been
struck, and discussion ensued whereupon the Chief Justice
informed Mr. Chen that he had his remedy in another place
if he was not satisfied with his summing up.
Mr. Frentis:
No point, thank you My Lord.
Verdict: GUILTY OF MURDER
-
Unanimously.
