Gable Tostee: Why did the jury struggle for so long to reach a verdict? The jury had to consider: Did Tostee, now 30, choke Wright, and intimidate her into falling, as the prosecution said? The jury in that case more than a century ago, heard a lot about "causation" - this is the point the Tostee jury was asking about. In the Tostee trial, defences raised included reasonable force used in self-defence, and removal of a disorderly person from the property. Healey was naked and still had wet hair when she was found dead below the bathroom window of the flat she shared with her boyfriend.
