Lesley Molseed Jury Instructed That They Can Return Majority Verdict

The jury in the Ronald Castree trial for the 1975 murder of 11-year-old Lesley Molseed was sent home for the weekend and one guesses returns today. This article indicates that the judge will accept a majority decision if a unanimous one isn't reached. Castree was I believe a prominent comics dealer in the Manchester area in the 1980s who then ran a store in Ashton. The trial is noteworthy because a man was initially convicted back in the '70s and then freed by DNA evidence; he died after his release.
