Looking forward to this trial getting underway, to finally find out what happened to poor Margaret.

Are there any members here who will be able to get to the trial?
I remember there were some local members who thought they would try.

We found out what happened to Carl DeBrodie & others around him and we don't like it one bit.

Vulnerable people, each failed by the system and specifically failed by crafty liars IMHO!

I can see your point about the similarities and do agree with your last sentence.
Sadly there hasn't been a substantiated sighting of Margaret for about 19 years and nobody seemed to have cared enough to ask.
Still missing.

I might be able to make it for one or two days depending on how long it goes on for.

It's estimated to be 6-8 weeks, according to this article:
Missing Margaret Fleming: trial date set for carers

I'm interested to hear what happens, but so, so sad for poor Margaret, and still shocked it took so long to come to light.

I would like to but can't really afford the train fare sadly

Any live twitter feeds today?

Any live twitter feeds today?

I can't find anything at all on Twitter (but then I'm not very good at Twitter!)

 

[Legally Bland]

I can't find a single thing from today. Maybe it'll get underway tomorrow.

 

[Legally Bland]

Hopefully it should start in the next day or two.

Thanks for the reminder.

The carers of #MargaretFleming, who has not been seen for more than 18 years, have gone on trial accused of her abduction & murder. Edward Cairney and Avril Jones deny all charges. The trial at High Court in Glasgow is expected to last 8 weeks #stvnews #inverkip

OK guys. Before listening to the evidence (if someone bothers reporting it!!) what do you

a) want the verdict to be?
b) think it will actually be?
c) reckon they might each get sentenced if found guilty?

I'm struggling to answer this without having a clue what evidence there is. Definitely guilty of benefit fraud though.

Boooo, LB!! Do you think the abduction and murder charges might stick? Is circumstantial (or lack of) evidence enough?

 

[CoverMeCagney]

We can but hope that if it looks like it's not going their way, one of them might decide to squeal in order to save themselves. IMO Margaret's been dead a loooong time and they know what happened.
