Bit late with reply. I was very glad when we heard SH's charges included manslaughter, since I'd thought the only option was murder if found guilty on the kidnapping and I doubted she'd be found guilty on murder.
I don't think we were clear on the charges until the judge's very helpful list (well I wasn't).
Quite knocked back by the speed of the verdicts. I think they have to deliberate for 2 hours minimum, and it took 4 days on Tabak, but "obviously" there was no doubt in the jury's mind.
From my sofa in front of the fire the verdicts given are spot on, absolutely correct.
As SH pleaded not guilty to all charges I expect the judge to come down hard on her with sentencing.
Don't know about all of you here, but my stomach turned when I saw the jury was back so fast and I'm still a bit in shock (and rambling now :blushing
