The jury in the retrial of Vicky Pryce, the ex-wife of former Lib Dem cabinet minister Chris Huhne, has retired to consider its verdict.
Ms Pryce denies perverting the course of justice by taking speeding points in 2003 from her former husband, claiming he coerced her into doing so.
Huhne, 58, who resigned as an MP, has already admitted the same offence.
The jury in Ms Pryce's original trial was discharged by the judge after failing to reach a verdict.
Shortly before asking the South Crown Court jury to begin considering the verdict, the trial judge Mr Justice Sweeney told the jury of seven men and five women that there was "no pressure of time".
He added they should elect a foreman and listen to each others' views in order to come to a "true verdict".

Let's hope that they have understood the judge's directions .....
