The jury deliberating on the case of Daniel James , who was convicted yesterday of trying to spy for Iran , has been discharged this afternoon after failing to reach a verdict on the remaining charges he was facing. James, who was found guilty at the Old Bailey yesterday of a charge under the Official Secrets Act, was facing two more charges, one relating to a USB memory stick, which the prosecution said contained classified documents that was found in his possession, and the other of misconduct in public office.

The prosecution case was that James, 45, was plan ...
