I think it may indicate that partial verdicts have been delivered. Obviously just speculation, because I thought the same as you. That nothing would be sent to the media until a verdict was known.Is it normal for police to release this sort of information to the papers before a verdict? I’ve always seen things crop up within a few minutes of a guilty verdict, and assumed the police released it to the media as soon as the verdict was delivered, and the media were ready and waiting for it.
I’m a bit uneasy if it transpires they’re handing out this sort of footage before deliberations have even concluded.
With things like the notes, it was the judge who decided they could be shared with the media and public (I thought).
