A jury was today set to start considering its verdict in the case of a father accused of shaking his eight-week-old baby.

Gary Johnson, of Ruskin Walk, Bicester, denies causing grievous bodily harm with intent to his daughter Nicole, now aged one, and causing cruelty to a child.

Yesterday, the jury at Oxford Crown Court heard closing speeches from the defence and prosecution.
