SeveranceI’m interested to know, what are the ‘criteria’ for want of a better word for being put on trial together versus separately for crimes against one victim?
Dang it jurors!

Yes and yes.So are they both on trial at the same time? Is that usual? (Sorry if this seems a silly question but I'm not very familiar with the court process).
Yes and yes.
Even though SaW isn't charged with murder she is charged with acts which covered it up, in unison with ScW. The jury probably needs to understand the whole case to judge her role, to see it in context and as the post above about separate/joint trials indicates, it wouldn't be equitable if different juries gave different verdicts on the same facts. They could apply to have separate trials, but haven't.
Are you going to try to get in the public gallery? Or am I thinking of the wrong person..?I hope those jurors appreciate how bloody lucky they are!
It would be highly unusual with a fresh pool of jurors called every Monday morning. Usually they call too many and have to send some away.What happens if there is No one who will commit to being a juror for 5 weeks?
Yes, I definitely want to get in there. Not sure when. Possibly Tuesday.Are you going to try to get in the public gallery? Or am I thinking of the wrong person..?

Think we are waiting until tomorrow to find the rest needed?Do we know whether they managed to find the correct number of jurors on Thursday afternoon and Friday or are they still waiting to select them tomorrow?
I don't know whether they just need to find a few more to make up the number, or if they need to start from scratch tomorrow. I do know that a new pool of jurors turn up on Monday each week and there is an excess over what is needed so the ones not selected for a trial beginning on the Monday have to return each day until they are picked.Do we know whether they managed to find the correct number of jurors on Thursday afternoon and Friday or are they still waiting to select them tomorrow?
