Could the jury maybe be referring to both WW and GT use of language? :thinking:

I'm afraid I'm losing patience with this jury....anyone else feeling the same way ??...:tantrum::tantrum::tantrum:

Justice Byrne tells jurors "no". They should only be concerned with "physical force" when considering defences. #tostee @GCBulletin

I hope he goes on to clarify that threats can be considered assault, however. I don't like these snippets. They are so misleading at times, which we realise once we read full length articles later that day.

I'll stop - too many repeats

Everyone has cleared back out of the courtroom now. So it's back to deliberating.

Judge: The potential defences concerned with h physical force, not with any menace in his words. Jury sent back to deliberate #Tostee

The Jury deserve the long answer.

Justice Byrne has asked them to return to their deliberations. We are in the eleventh hour. #tostee

So would it be correct to assume that one possible scenario is that there are some on the jury who are satisfied Tostee physically assaulted Warriena, but there are others who don't believe he did. So if there is disagreeance on physical assault but agreeance on accepting the verbal statements of Tostee to be assault (if the judge so allows it), then they could agree with the prosecution and return a guilty verdict?

edit n/m clearly he means Tostee

I agree, that could be a possible scenario.

Oh, okay ... I guess I jumped to the wrong conclusion thinking if Justice Byrne says language can't be considered force, then the jury won't convict him. My bad.

Keep deliberating, jury. See if you can persuade the holder-out(s) that Warriena was gasping for air and terrified, not talking a casual stroll along a balcony ledge.

Judge has told jury it should only concern itself with "physical force" #Tostee used in assessing reasonableness of response
