judge dismissed the jury

[SteveT]

I heard the last bit of a case on the radio 4. 10 o'clock news this evening.

A member of a jury in the death of a cab driver case, went to where it all took place and took measurements. He also quizzed the prosecution about aspects of the case, somehow casting doubts over the case and the judge then dimissed the jury because they had discussed it during the canteen break.

Sadly I did not get the full picture and would like to know more, does any forumistas know how I could I get the full story?
