After weeks of testimony, 12 New York City jurors are sitting in a Manhattan courthouse room to decide the fate of former President Donald Trump's hush-money case.

The jury is in its second day of deliberation and a verdict could come at any time. On Wednesday they deliberated for four and a half hours.

Mr Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records in relation to a hush-money payment made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels. She claims she had sex with the former president and he denies the encounter.

Here's what you need to know about how a jury reaches a verdict, as the prosecution, defence and much of the world awaits an answer.
