A judge alone will now decide the fates of the men after a jury was discharged over concerns of possible prejudice.
Three of the 12 men accused of murdering a teenager in a Brisbane public park have admitted being in the vicinity but have denied causing injuries, a judge has heard.
All defendants also pleaded not guilty to 10 other charges of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, unlawful wounding with bats or bladed weapons, and assault causing bodily harm against 10 alleged victims. He said text messages suggested the group had a common criminal purpose to get retaliation for the bashing of the brother of four of the defendants.
