https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-62645830The jury in the trial of former Manchester United player Ryan Giggs has been discharged after failing to reach verdicts.
The 48-year-old denied headbutting ex-partner Kate Greville, 38, during a row at his home in November 2020.
He also denied controlling behaviour, as well as assaulting Ms Greville's sister Emma, 26, at Manchester Crown Court.
Mr Giggs was Wales manager
until he resigned in June.
The jury had failed to reach a verdict on any of three charges against Mr Giggs after deliberating for 22 hours and 59 minutes.
She had asked if they had reached a verdict on any counts on which a majority of 10 to one had agreed.
The foreman of the jury answered: "No."
Asked if there was any "realistic prospect" of them reaching verdicts if given more time, the foreman again answered: "No."
Judge Hilary Manley then thanked the jurors and discharged them, warning all the jurors not to discuss the case as there may be another trial of the case in the future.
Judge Manley said "it was clear they had striven hard to reach verdicts" and should not feel "dispirited".
