Jury Deliberation Nears in Conor McGregor Civil Trial

The jury will soon decide on allegations of rape and assault against MMA fighter Conor McGregor and co-defendant James Lawrence.

Conor McGregor and James Lawrence face civil charges in Dublin High Court, accused of assaulting Nikita Hand in 2018.
McGregor denies the allegations, claiming consensual encounters, while Hand is seeking damages for the alleged assault.
The jury, consisting of eight men and four women, must reach a consensus with at least nine agreeing on the verdict.
Justice Owens instructed the jury to consider all evidence, including CCTV footage, and not to speculate on witness testimony.
Aggravated damages may be considered if the jury finds McGregor concocted a false narrative about the incident.
