The jury in the Millennium Dome diamond raid trial was sent home early today without reaching any verdicts.
The Old Bailey jury is trying five men accused of plotting to snatch £200 million diamonds from the Dome in Greenwich, London.
Boat skipper Kevin Meredith, 34, of Aucklands Drive, Brighton, denies both conspiracy to rob and conspiracy to steal.
Aldo Ciarrocchi, 32, of Bermondsey, south east London; Raymond Betson, 40, of Chatham, Kent; William Cockram, 49, from Catford, south east London; and Robert Adams, 57, of no fixed address, all deny conspiracy to rob.
They have admitted a lesser charge of conspiring to steal.
The jurors only sat for half the day today as one had a medical appointment in the afternoon.
They will return to court tomorrow to continue their deliberations.
The seven women and five men have now been considering verdicts for five-and-a-half court days.
The prosecution alleges that the gang intended to snatch the stones by smashing their way into the Dome on an earth-mover, then escape across the Thames by speedboat.
