The fate of airline pilot Greg Lynn is in the hands of 12 jurors, who will soon decide whether he is guilty of the murders of campers Russell Hill and Carol Clay.

The jury was sent out for deliberations about 12.30pm today after hearing five weeks of evidence in the Supreme Court in Melbourne.

Lynn admitted he carried out "despicable" actions after the deaths, telling the jury he panicked and destroyed evidence because he feared his career would be over. The judge pointed to 16 instances where Porceddu made claims that had not been put to Lynn or ballistics expert, Leading Senior Constable Paul Griffiths, during cross-examination.

Because he did not, the judge said the jury could more readily accept Lynn and Griffiths' evidence and reject the prosecution's arguments.
