A British juror who carried out internet research at home while sitting at a criminal trial has been jailed for six months for contempt of court.

Academic Theodora Dallas, 34, had told other jurors what her research had revealed about a defendant on trial at Luton Crown Court in July 2011.

The judge aborted the trial after learning about her research.

She will serve three months and be on licence for the remainder of the term.
