The entire jury in the trial of Bruce Lehrmann has been discharged after a juror was found to have conducted their own research and brought a research paper on sexual assaults into the jury room.
The ACT supreme court convened on Thursday morning and heard that Lehrmann’s trial must be aborted after a juror had conducted research outside the courtroom.
