Rose hit Mr Robotham outside Chesterfield’s Vibe Bar in February, knocking him out cold, and causing fatal head injuries when he fell to the ground.

Today, prosecution and defence barristers are set to give their closing speeches before the jury retires to consider their verdict.

Rose has admitted manslaughter but denies murder.
