Prosecutor Iain Simkin KC told jurors: "Tiffany Render had become conditioned to obedience, was in thrall to the defendant and, irrespective of the risks to her own well-being, nevertheless visited him on March 22."

He said jurors would have to be sure that when Mr Sharif, by his own admission, beat Sara, he meant to cause her “at least serious harm”.

Mr Pownall told jurors Thomas had been through "a lot of stressful situations" including his parents' separation, and there was "alleged domestic violence".

Jason C. Pang told jurors at the start of trial last week.

Pictures film, which was directed by Eastwood and stars Nicholas Hoult as a juror in a high-profile murder trial, had its world premiere last month at the American Film Institute’s festival in Hollywood.
