The eight women and four men jury members in the trial of Brian Kearney have been sent to a hotel overnight, and will resume their deliberations tomorrow.
51-year-old Brian Kearney from Carnroe, Goatstown, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of his wife Siobhan.
Mr Justice Barry White advised jury members not to discuss the case overnight.
He said it had been his experience that often jurors return with a string of questions following a night's break, which he said indicated that they had not adhered to the instruction not to deliberate.
Earlier, the jury foreman had requested that the en-suite door, vacuum cleaner flex and a duplicate of the Dyson vacuum cleaner be brought to the jury room for closer examination.
And following submissions by both legal counsels the jury was recharged on a number of issues.
They were reminded that Mr Kearney is a man of good character with no previous convictions.
The jury was also told that it did not have to accept as fact statements made by Mr Kearney during questioning.
They were told his statement should be considered in the context of other evidence before the Court.
Mr Justice White, in his charge, told the jury that in returning its verdict it must be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Kearney was guilty of murder.
He told the jury that they must consider this case coldly, analytically and dispassionately.
He said when retiring to consider a verdict, emotions must be left outside the jury room.
He reminded the jury that Brian Kearney was entitled to the presumption of innocence and no adverse inference could be drawn from the fact he did not give evidence during his trial.
The jury was told it must reach a verdict beyond reasonable doubt. Mr Justice White said the State must prove the case beyond reasonable doubt.
In reaching a verdict he advised jurors to engage in a role reversal and ask themselves, 'if I were Brian Kearney, how would I feel if I was convicted on the basis of the evidence before the court?'
He said 'if you are satisfied you should be convicted on the basis of the evidence then the State has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.'
Mr Justice White then summarised the evidence given during the ten-day trial.
He directed the jury to return a unanimous verdict.
