Yesterday Deemster Alistair Montgomerie finished his case summary of the trial.
The trial of Mr Anderson has lasted almost five weeks.
Deemster Montgomerie told the jury Manx law compels them to reach a unamimous decision.
The deemster told jurors to consider the evidence critically, and not to be effected by emotions or sympathy.
He noted the jury had a "grand stand view" of the defendant over a period of five days, and questions of his credibility was down to the jury alone.
