There is a widespread feeling of apprehension as jurors deliberate behind closed doors in Court on the verdict in Yorgen Fenech’s trial.
Yorgen Fenech is facing life imprisonment over charges of facilitating and commissioning the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia.
It is a trial concerning the murder of a journalist that subsequently caused the largest political crisis in recent Maltese political history, compelling the country’s most popular Prime Minister to resign in disgrace.
Everybody is feeling apprehensive about the looming decision of the jurors: the Police and prosecutors, who carry the weight of the case on their shoulders; Daphne’s family, who fought for years to seek justice for her murder; and equally the accused himself, who faces the prospect of spending the rest of his life in prison.
Jurors can up come up with a verdict today or continue deliberating until they come to a conclusive decision.
