Finally – the jury of seven women and four men in the trial of former Manchester United superstar, Ryan Giggs was discharged after they told the judge they had been unable to reach verdicts on charges he committed assault causing actual bodily harm and used controlling behaviour towards his then girlfriend Kate Greville and her dear sister Emma.
