Just thinking... if the jury can claim double the amount of expenses for loss of earnings and childcare for spending more than 4 hours in court than they would if spending four hours or less in court does that mean we're unlikely to get a verdict until at least 4 hours has passed (cos why would they give up an extra £60ish each when it's unlikely they can waltz back into work for the afternoon or get a refund for booked childcare if they finish before four hours are up)


If your jury service lasts longer than 10 working days, the amount you can claim increases. You’ll be able to claim up to:

• £129.91 a day if you spend more than 4 hours at court
• £64.95 a day if you spend 4 hours or less at court

Jury service

What to do if you're asked to do jury service - taking time off work, delaying jury service, claiming expenses. Includes information from the withdrawn 5222, 5222A and Juror Charter guidance.

I like your canny style of thinking…

The jury deserve every available resource for sitting on this trial once it is over though sadly I don’t think that will be much. The psychological impact must be monumental

What was happening in the end with the insulin doses? The prosecution claimed Lucy doubled the dose with the next baby but the defence said it wasn’t so. What were the numbers?

I don't think they ever clarified that but IMO it was a pointless thing for the prosecution to claim anyway , as, if guilty, I doubt she measured exact amounts and calculated how much per hour that would work out to. I imagine she just got some in a syringe and spread it across how ever many bags she decided to poison.

IMO in the same way that the defence argued that it couldn't be attempted murder as LL knew that the cure/treatment/antidote for the low blood sugar caused by the insulin poisoning was readily available in the form of dextrose. .. the prosecution would have been better off explaining that for Baby L, she allegedly went one step further than she had with Baby F and allegedly poisoned the dextrose itself! So she allegedly poisoned the cure/treatment/antidote itself with the second baby.

JMO, if guilty etc.

Sky News will go into meltdown if there's a verdict on the same day that Parky has died.

Well what a way to find out Parky has died

I have someone else also heading there now. It does sound promising.

 

[notsure]

Is something likely to happen in the next half hour, or do I have time to take the dogs out?

I am getting this info third hand from someone who is there literally everyday. My friend is going there at 2.30pm but any further updates I’ll be on it like a flash

 

[marynnu]

I'm off to dump stuff in the storage unit shortly, so I think that should clinch it. Next hour.

You do realise that if you do decide to take the dogs out, then obviously, the verdict will come in.

Sooooo, all us here at WS are urging you to take the dogs!

I think the judge announces beforehand and gives a 45 minute or so time span for family, etc, to get into the courthouse.

I only check in once a day. I know I will play catch up when the verdict comes but I can't put my life on hold. Let's hope the verdict is this week. I feel sorry for the Jurors.

I think I will sacrifice myself for the good of all and eat 3 more muffins (choc, banana, strawberry) to make the news SURE.

I have just made myself another cuppa.
Messages aren’t being delivered to him now apparently which means he has gone back inside the court (bad reception in there) My friend is heading there at 2.30 and they are 8 mins away.

Don't you know that muffins are just poor men's cupcakes?
