Fourteen jurors were empanelled for the trial in Melbourne on Monday, including 10 men and four women. 

However, the jury was discharged by Justice Lex Lasry on Wednesday morning, after he discovered a juror had disobeyed his directions.

"It's going to be necessary for me to discharge you as a jury," he said.

"You did not follow my directions. I propose to refer the cause of this to the Director of Public Prosecutions. 

"Thank you jury, you may now leave the court."
