What a fantastic result today. Fair play to the Jury, they totally got it. I'm so relieved in particular for Jason's children and his parents as they are all so vulnerable at their respective ages. It's a very important result for them. They have been through an awful lot and can at least...

The prosecution did an absolutely fantastic job. I just hope the Jury see things for what they are. Thanks for the extracts Stephan.

God love his parents. Elderly and broken-hearted. My heart goes out to them and his children in particular.

I'm not sure I like where this is heading in relation to MM. All it takes is one person with doubt.

That's very helpful so she has actually made a statement to that effect which the jury know about. I agree with BeTrue though, there seems to have been surprisingly little focus on her otherwise given that she is the prime suspect and the trial is now starting to wind up. I just wonder...

I would completely agree with sshhh! that something very similar to this happened. I would add the following: (a) it is possible that MM made the mojito for JC and dropped the prescription tablets into it earlier in the evening. There was also a reference somewhere to MM bringing out two...
