The prosecution alleged Tostee became angry and physically aggressive after she had hit him with ornamental rocks and a telescope.

"You're lucky I haven't chucked you off my balcony," he says in the recording. "If you try to pull anything, I'll knock you out."

A neighbour heard Wright crying, "No, no, no, please let me go home," before witnessing her falling from the balcony about 15 seconds later, the jury was told.

The defence said the New Zealander was becoming increasingly irrational and aggressive toward Tostee, forcing him to lock her on the balcony. According to the ABC, his lawyer argued Tostee was "de-escalating" the situation by locking her out.

Wright's sister, Marreza Wright, told the court she had received two Facebook messages that night from her sibling, the Brisbane Timesreported. One said she had found "an Australian Sam Winchester," a character from the TV show Supernatural, and the other was a selfie of Wright and Tostee.

The jury deliberated for four days after struggling to reach a verdict.

A decision was further delayed after it was found a juror had been posting about attending the trial on Instagram. The judge found the incident was not serious enough to warrant a mistrial.
