Legal question - If a juror isn't familiar with, for example Voyeurism or tidal rivers, could they go home at night and research it? Or is that something they're told they can't do?

Cant do can they can only go by exactly what they have been told in court

Relowicz explains why he committed the offences

Mr Wright said: “I want you to help us understand what was it about doing these things that sexually excited you?”

Relowicz said: “Just masturbating at a woman on the street and looking at them. Just that I look at them and masturbate myself, that was what was making me excited. This was actually my problem.”

Relowicz says it was not because it was in public or the fact that he was in public or that women had seen him that was exciting.

Mr Wright said: “Was it the fact they were scared when they saw you?”

He replied: “This is not correct.”

Mr Wright said: “If none of those things sexually excited you why were you doing it?”

Relowicz said: “The fact was that I could do it in the street in front of a woman.”

Relowicz accepts what he did was 'definitely frightening' when he was spotted.

But if you then had to place a body out in the open river where it wouldn’t catch on the reeds, you would have more than one wet knee, surely?

Potentially not, no.
It would depend on where he put her in and if she was indeed 'placed' or something less respectful

I wouldn't 'place' anything in that river. I think it's a case of push, from a safe distance on the bank and away from reeds and areas which are obviously thick with mud, and hope for the best.

That's why I was asking it posed as a legal question.

I'm aware they can't research or discuss 'the trial' but, I'm questioning if they can or cannot research relevant things but which aren't case specific

 

[Skigh]

he maybe have interpreter with him but he clearly answering questions on his own and he is not doing himself a favour
Im surprise his lawyer let him do this

How do you know he is not speaking through his interpreter?
The interpreter will just translate exactly what PR says in Polish.

Thank you again @jamjim

Thank you very much for the updates jamjim.

They've added another line to this update since you posted.

"Relowicz accepts what he did was 'definitely frightening' when he was spotted."

I was interested when he used the word “accosted” and wondered if it was him, his interpreter, or the reporter using that word

 

[tigerowl]

@wikela I am sure he said earlier that although he doesn't speak English well, he does understand it well.

I am also quite sure that if he thought it would help his case he would insist on using the translator - he is clearly confident enough with what he plans to say that he has chosen not to do that. The translator is literally by his side so he could easily make use of them if he wants to. Maybe it is the opposite of what you may think and he wants to give his answers himself so nobody else can put a spin he doesn't want on the words he says.

Relowicz said: “The fact was that I could do it in the street in front of a woman.”

Snipped for focus
So he did all this in front of women but did not think they could actually see him? Huh?

Thanks for today's updates @jamjim , appreciate all your hard work.

 

[Legally Bland]

Thank you @jamjim !

I hate even thinking about this part but could he have placed her in the water and then used a branch or something to push her further in. I noticed on the picture someone shared that there seemed to be alot of mud at water level. If the ground was frozen he could have stood there without sinking. Hd has black trainers on so its hard to judge if they were wet .

 

[JusticeDT]

Thanks again jamjim for today.

because his answers are not grammatically correct( the same like mine)
translator(interpreter) would said it in right order
you can't translate from Polish to English exactly word for word it wouldnt have too much sense
