She said there were five possible verdicts available to them - accidental death, death by misadventure, unlawful killing, open verdict and narrative verdict.
Dr Cullinane said for the jurors to return a verdict of unlawful killing, then the standard of proof needed was"beyond a reasonable doubt". The jury must consider all of the evidence they heard to reach their determinations, she said, and what evidence to accept or reject was a matter for them. Jurors were also reminded by Dr Cullinane that the proceedings were inquisitorial, with the purpose to inquire into a given death and to establish certain facts and to return a verdict based on the evidence that they had heard.
