There will be one less person on the jury, deciding Phillip Polkinghorne's guilt
11 September 2024
One juror has been discharged from the murder trial for the Auckland eye surgeon - for personal reasons.
The juror has a commitment on Friday, which the judge says could pressure the jury to come to a verdict within limited time.
Eight women and three men will now rule whether Polkinghorne is guilty of murdering his wife, Pauline Hanna.
The defence says she took her own life.
