I would be suprised if the courts / TLP wasn't able to correctly enter a few numbers each day to log the proceedings, so presuming TLP is correct, thought I would look at the week. Here's a summary followed by the data from TLP.
Max time available
Morning (10am-1pm): 900mins per week
Afternoon (2pm-4:30pm): 750mins per week
Total: 1650mins or 27.5hrs per week
Actual time deliberating
Morning: 186mins or 20.6% of available time
Afternoon: 701mins or 93.4% of available time (assuming 2.5hrs this afternoon)
Total: 887mins or 14.7hrs
(53.7% of available time)
I have no idea how this compares to other trials but to me shows that for some reason they are only really deliberating in the afternoons. My guess is the legal submission yesterday was to see if they could address this (possibly a jury member not turning up for some reason in the mornings?)
Here's the data from
https://www.thelawpages.com/court-hearings-lists/crown-court-daily/34/lists/2023-08-04 and the above assumes they will reconvene this afternoon for 2.5hrs TBC.
