More than enough. I think longingly of the days before they existed!

Also part of the law of England and Wales. Both US and Australian law came from the English common law tradition, but of course differences have developed over time.

I don't think the prosecution would be allowed to do that - the general rule protecting the secrecy of jury deliberations would still apply.

Interesting. You couldn't do this research in the UK or, I believe, Australia, because jurors are prohibited from discussing their deliberations or reasoning even after the trial - it would be a criminal offence to do so.

I rather think they are a jokey invention. A bit confusing, given how extraordinary some of the genuine exchanges have been.

That sketch was actually done in April 2024 - they used it then. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-22/erin-patterson-mushroom-alleged-murder-leongatha-vic-court/103752474 I noticed because I had just been looking at the reports from that time about EP changing lawyers, and her insistence...

I haven't been clear in my post above! What I also want to say is, this comment of J Rozenberg's is not making that point. He feels able to say he can't see why LL would be advised to waive privilege. So I think it's fair to ask why someone couldn't in similarly general terms say why...

The exact quote from Joshua Rozenberg is 'We will never know why Letby’s defence team called no expert witnesses unless she waives professional privilege. I cannot see why she would be advised to do so.'...

Thanks, Tortoise, essential context. So that bit cited by WaneLyrical was not as I said the opening paragraph 'of the report' but of page 3.

No, there was no link in the comment marynnu replied to, as far as I can see. ETA Your comment before the last one marynnu replied to (post #300) had a link, and I guess you mean that. The opening paragraph of that report says: 'Cheshire Constabulary Operation Hummingbird —Summary / Actions...

Forgive me if i am misunderstanding you, but it seems to me you are confusing the document referred to by katydid23, which is the closing submission at the Thirlwall Inquiry on behalf of the families, with the one previously cited by Furore, which is the statement by the CCRC. It outlines...

'Heroic' is the correct word for your efforts (see Anxala's post above).

I'm sure you're right, Tortoise...and I am out of my depth! Time for me to abandon this until there is some development, I think. Happy Easter, all!

Yes, I do mean Alan, sorry - Andrew Robertshaw is a military historian! Link to the podcast on waiving of privilege is ...

I understood e.g. from Andrew Robertshaw's podcast that this waiving of privilege was automatic between defence teams - or is that wrong, since you say Ben Myers cannot speak to him? He might keep it to himself if it didn't help him at all, although that would come out eventually.
