It was not a debate.Can someone explain the ongoing debate re: solicitors in England? This info is available on the web and I don't see how it is pertinent to this case?
I wonder I they are looking for his phone. I was watching a csi documentary on bbciplayer last night and they were saying what a vital piece of evidence it is. Not only would it show his location but also his search history and interests jmo.
MET POLICE STATEMENT
A serving police constable has appeared in court for a second time after he was charged with the kidnap and murder of Sarah Everard.
Wayne Couzens, 48 (20.12.72) appeared in custody at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, 13 March.
Today he appeared via video link at the Central Criminal Court.
A provisional trial date has been set for 25 October. A pre-trial plea hearing has been scheduled for Friday, 9 July.
A woman, aged in her 30s, who was arrested at the same time as Couzens on suspicion of assisting an offender, has been released on bail to return to a police station on a date in mid-April.
Sarah's family have been informed and specialist officers are in place to support the family and friends.
The investigation continues and is being led by Specialist Crime Command detectives who are drawing on expertise and skills from hundreds of colleagues across the Met. They are also being supported by Kent Police.
In the interests of clarity about these exceptional events, we are releasing further details of Couzens' employment with the Metropolitan Police Service.
Wayne Couzens joined the MPS on 10 September 2018. His first posting was to South Area where he joined a response team covering the Bromley area. He then moved to the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command on 1 February 2020 where his primary role was on uniformed patrol duties of diplomatic premises, mainly a range of Embassies.

The mail report says they are looking for SE's phone.

Well see Cressida Dick's statement on Sky, linked last thread.This may not be allowed, and please delete if so, but I know Helena vaguely (both worked in bars in Edinburgh). I would take what she says with a large pinch of salt, to say the least.
I didn't know SE, but I would trust her family over Helena by a country mile. She is likely after the press coverage for herself, ironically.
Also suggestion that a gardener had found what was found in Biggin hill, which leans to it not being part of any investigation, ie confession etc
I think that came about from someone who lived on the same street as them saying that they were surprised when the defendant told him he was going to Ukraine to 'fetch his wife' like she was some sort of package he'd ordered online.
Why would they look specifically for SE's phone? What information can be gathered from it's retrieval? The tower pings, the times of use of the phone, messages, et al have already been confiscated.
Yeah - I agree. Even though most convicted of or engaging in IE will not 'progress' to murder, most murderers have a history of experimenting with different ways of controlling/dominating people, be it violence, sexual offences etc. For instance the Macdonald triad is a famous pattern of history and behaviour that is really common amongst murderers.I think like the other similarities in cases/suspects/those convicted - it is not 100% or even very high percentage of the overall total population of say those that commit IE go on to escalate, but within the group that do a significant percentage share that history/trait.
Is the pre-trial hearing likely to include more details/evidence/argument from the pros/defence, or does it have another function?
Edit: Is there a better thread to ask these questions about the process? i'm worried about diverting from the issue more than has happened already, lol
strange, I just saw them (not prompted by this thread), they are now gone. IMO, it reinforces how baffling this case is, and raises ponderings on how a person may lead a double life, just showed a normal family doing normal things in a normal house. IMO! Well-adjusted, happy although accused wasn’t quite what I was expecting exactly maybe, probably due to photos being old. All IMO of course.
how will they unlock SE's phone when they find it?
