The "thisisgloucestershire" story ran earlier today under the heading, "Baby Joe trial: Jury sent out."
"Jurors in the Baby Joe trial have been sent out to consider their verdict," the story began.
"Anne-Marie Rooney, 28, of Bristol Road, Quedgeley has pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter of her eight month old baby son Joe," the story continued;
"His Honour Justice Richard Field took two and a half hours to sum up the case at Truro Crown Court, this morning and sent the jury out at 1pm.
He told the six men and five women (one juror dropped out earlier in the trial due to family bereavement) that they should first endeavor to reach a unanimous verdict.
Joseph Rooney suffered head, neck and brain injuries in the family caravan in St Merryn, near Padstow, North Cornwall, on July 1, 2007.
He was air lifted to Treliske Hospital in Truro by air ambulance but died the following day.
The trial has lasted for three weeks."
