36-year-old former ANU PhD student's rape trial results in hung jury; retrial uncertain.
In Australia's ANU rape trial, a juror could not reach a unanimous verdict after 3.5 days of deliberations. The 36-year-old former PhD student, accused of two counts of sexual intercourse without consent, pleads not guilty. The case will be heard by a registrar in four weeks and a retrial is uncertain. The prosecutor claims the accused was dominant and threatening, while defense states the acts were consensual.
