Jurors have begun deliberating their verdicts over claims of domestic abuse and assault against ex-footballer
Jurors in the Ryan Giggs trial have been told they are not overseeing “a court of morals” as they began deliberating their verdicts over claims of domestic abuse and assault.
Giggs, 48, had told Manchester crown court he had never been faithful to his partners – including his former wife – but said he had never been violent or controlling to any of his lovers. The judge told jurors they must decide whether the case was, as the defence has suggested, “a relationship that had its ups and downs, albeit with many more ups than downs, which ultimately veered off the rails because of the complainant’s inability to accept the defendant’s serial womanising”.
Manley previously told jurors both Giggs and Greville had been “distressed” at points during their evidence. She told them to “put aside any feelings of sympathy for one person or another, or both”, adding: “You do not try a case on sympathy.”
