SYDNEY, Dec 23 AAP - A New South Wales Supreme Court jury's deliberations in the trial of
two men accused of the stabbing murder of Sydney policeman David Carty will go into a third

pleaded not guilty on October 6 to Constable Carty's murder at the Cambridge Tavern,

The constable was stabbed to death in the hotel's carpark.

The jury of eight men and four women retired at 9.40am yesterday to consider its verdicts
