Judy Moran jury asks judge more questions
(AAP) - The jury in the Judy Moran murder trial sought some clarification as they went into the fourth day of trying to reach a verdict.
The 12 jury members wanted to know the difference between murder and the alternative charge of manslaughter - the same question they asked of Victorian Supreme Court Justice Lex Lasry on Friday.
The judge outlined the legal differences and said that if Moran had an agreement with gunman Geoffrey Armour to kill her brother-in-law Desmond "Tuppence" Moran then it was murder.
If there was no agreement, she she is not guilty, he said.
Mr Moran was gunned down at a suburban Ascot Vale deli on June 15, 2009.
The jury will reconvene on Monday.
