We are into the first hour now of jury deliberations in the Michael Rafferty murder trial. Heart FM's Blair Wilson reports they were sent off just after 5:30PM, into a guarded room with the judge's instructions and a mountain of evidence. Michael Rafferty is facing charges of first-degree murder, sexual assault causing bodily harm and kidnapping in the death of eight-year-old Victoria Stafford. Heart FM will break into programming when we know a verdict has been reached, when the verdict is read, and when reaction comes in from London.
