Information on Attorney General expected this week

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

More information could be released this week concerning the fate of the Island’s Attorney General.

Last week, Stephen Harding was re-bailed after the jury in his trial was dismissed.

The 52-year-old denies committing acts against public justice and perjury.

The seven-strong jury who had spent three days deliberating were unable to reach a unanimous verdict on Friday.

Deemster Birkett said a decision on the next course of action would be taken within a few days including the possibility of a retrial.
