It's Tuesday afternoon and the jury has retired in the Julia DeLuney murder trial. Their only options are murder or not guilty, as the Crown didn't lay an alternative manslaughter charge.

My gut tells me this case will be wrapped up by the end of the week.

Jury retires in Julia DeLuney murder trial

Jurors are now considering their verdict in the trial of a Wellington woman accused of murdering her 79-year-old mother.

The prosecution case wrapped today then the defence announced they would not call any witnesses, nor would DeLuney give evidence herself.

If I was innocent of a brutal murder, I think I'd welcome the opportunity to clear my name. This trial feels like it can only have one conclusion.

Closing addresses have got underway.

Is anyone else following the DeLuney murder trial? It's a bit of a cracker with a multitude of clues pointing solidly at the defendant.

There's crypto, multiple costume changes, weird behaviour, numerous lies disproved and behind it all, a violent murder.

Today is all about motive.
