UK - Arthur Labinjo Hughes, 6, killed, dad & friend arrested, June 2020 #2

I wonder how long it will take for the Jury to deliberate!
Will they discuss both of them together?
Or will they give their verdicts separately, eg: first ET and then TH?
Im beginning to feel anxious!

I believe it’s a separate verdict for each separate count and each defendant.

I have a feeling it wont take them long.

Yes,
What I meant:
they deliberate ET and give verdict,
And then deliberate again
and give another verdict about TH.

But I guess I overthink things haha

No, the verdicts will be read out at the same time. So they might deliberate for 6 hours for defendant A and 2 hours for defendant B. But both A and B will learn of their fate at the same time

At which time it'll likely be reported by the TV news

Thanks!
So...
We will wait for a long time Im afraid.
If they start on Wednesday, maybe on Friday both of them will get to know their Fate.

Could be Wednesday afternoon, could be Thursday or Friday. Depends how strongly the case has been put forward. We don't know how all parties conducted themselves on the stand. I'd imagine the jury will be similar to posters here, some people hold one view, others a different view...

 

[Discosally]

I’m hopeful for Thursday.

 

[ScottishSam]

I don't mind when, just as long as its justice- a proper sentence.
I don't want that disappointing feeling of 'is that it?'

I guess TH discussion will be veeeery long.
Friday is an optimistic option.
But well, we got used to waiting.

Id say decision on ET easy enough, TH more complex. I wonder if the person who left due to sickness had strong views on either

 

[Carroll520]

Do we know anything about Judge Walls?

 

[Dotta]

Do we know anything about Judge Walls?

Tortoise wrote he sentenced somebody for life - minimum 36 years!

 

[Dotta]

But it was a double murder - mother and stepfather were killed.
In this case there is torture+murder.
And the victim is a defenceless child.

Oh wow, hope they get similar sentences. I wonder will they be segregated from the general jail population for their safety. Would be better if they put in with everyone. Get a taste of their own medicine

I predict she will end up in mental unit.
MOO

 

[Riparthur]

I had read that TH promised to take him to grans house but then just took him back to ET. He relished tormenting that boy.
I don’t think ET told him to do that.

i wonder how long before that day this happened does anyone know??

Did they feed him any food that day or just salt? I don’t even know why I’m asking or the relevance of these questions. I’m just looking for any signs of humanity before the lead up to this event



Help was so close for Arthur.
I tell you what I have been hugging and kissing my 6 and 4yo like no tomr since seeing this.

 

[Riparthur]

@Dotta
I think justice would be his inmates whacking him over the head, letting him “have it” and feeding him nothing but salt and see how he likes it


This man would make Satan clutch his rosary beads

Im superstitious (I know it is shameful ) so I try not to
wish anything unpleasant to others.

But I absolutely understand your sentiments.

I think Fate will deal with him adequately.

And if there is still humanity in his heart, he will suffer with remorse till the day he dies.

I really hope not. Although, I think if sent to one of those places, you don’t get given a maximum term, so you are in there until the psychiatrists and panel think you are safe to be released…which could be never. It’s almost impossible to prove that you are no longer mad, as the more you protest, the more mad you sound….?
