I'm Confused about Rolf

I had a fierce English master who put the fear of God into me via threat of his over arm swing that wielded a sharp cane with a brutal effectiveness when it came crashing across a callow youth's palm.But I still can get it all wrong and if in doubt, usually look up the word or meaning.
But just what is happening with the Rolf Harris trial ?. Here are just two of dozens of similar reports of questions asked of the judge by the jury :The UK Daily Mirror says this : "can the voracity of a witness statement in one count be taken into account when judging the voracity of a witness statement in another count.”
News Ltd complicates it even further with : "Can the veracity of a witness statement in one count be taken into account when judging the voracity of a witness statement in another count.”
 Is the jury suggesting the complainants may have attempted to eat Rolf?
Macquarie Dictionary:
veracity : habitual observance of truth in speech or statement
voracity :devouring or craving food in great quantities
