The main courtroom is at capacity, so public is now coming to overflow room. Hasn't been this busy since autopsy testimony #sl

Steven D'Souza ‏ @cbcsteve
Just realized today is May 1st. This is 9th week of #Rafferty trial which began on March 5th

Steven D'Souza ‏ @cbcsteve
#Rafferty's lawyer Dirk Derstine has arrived at the courthouse but didn't comment to reporters on his way in #sl

 

[robynhood]

derstine has arrived at London court...he does not talk to reporters but just walks in .....I hope this starts real soon...9;56 here now...robynhood...I shall help today on tweeter ...

 

[Kamille]

Yes. He has to be the first witness

But first we have to get through Derstine's opening statement. That alone might take up the whole day.

MOO
