The jury has been discharged from the trial of Georgia Potter with a new trial due to begin tomorrow.

Yesterday (Monday) saw the opening day of the trial at Truro Crown Court.

Potter, aged 51 of Meadowbank, Mylor Bridge, has been charged with assisting an offender, and that 'between May 3, 2020 and May 9, 2020, without lawful authority or reasonable excuse, she facilitated transport to move Liam Bastow and Kane Coggin, and their clothing, away from a crime scene, and gave false statements to the police in relation to the movements Liam Bastow and Kane Coggin with intent to impede the apprehension or prosecution of Liam Bastow and Kane Coggin, persons who had committed the arrestable offence of murder, knowing or believing the said persons to be guilty of the offence or some other relevant offence'.

She has pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Monday saw the opening statement from the prosecution being read out to the jury before proceedings ended for the day.

However, when court resumed this morning (Tuesday) Judge Robert Linford, presiding over the case, was made aware that one of the jurors had been recognised.

As a result, it was agreed that the juror member would have to be removed from the case, and due to the desire to have a full jury of 12 members considering the evidence and verdict, and it still be at an early stage of the trial, Judge Linford took the decision to dismiss the entire jury.

Judge Linford stressed to the jury: "None of you have done anything wrong whatsoever. It's one of those things."

A new jury is due to be sworn in tomorrow (Wednesday) and the trial is expected to restart.

The trial of Potter comes eight months after Kane Coggin, then 27, of Meadowbank, Mylor Bridge and Liam Bastow, then 24, of Avalon Close, Mylor Bridge were unanimously found guilty of the murder of Aaron Pill.

Mr Pill was found with stab wounds at his home in Tresawle Road, Falmouth on May 4 last year, causing him to bleed to death.
