Paul Wallington (inset) died from head injuries after being struck outside the Vine Bar in Brentwood High Street in 2018
THE trial of a bouncer charged with killing a man with a single punch has collapsed after a jury failed to reach a verdict.
The 11-person jury could not decide whether Leslie Wiseman was guilty of the manslaughter of Paul Wallington, who died shortly after Christmas in 2018.
Wiseman, 31, of Whitehouse Meadows, Eastwood, claims he acted in self-defence when he struck Mr Wallington outside the Vine bar in Brentwood High Street shortly after midnight on Christmas Day.
Mr Wallington died from serious head injuries several days after the incident.
