The judge is in court, and Gordon’s barrister has asked for more time before the sentencing hearing begins.
Ms McAtasney says Gordon arrived late, and they have only had half an hour for a pre-court conference.
They are considering two expert reports, including one from a forensic psychiatrist.
Judge Lucraft agreed to allow further time, but said the sentencing hearing should start with prosecution submissions, then break for a conference.
He also admonished Gordon for not concentrating on his own barrister’s submissions.
“Mr Gordon seems more interested in talking to Ms Marten at the back of the court, than listening to what you are saying”, he said.
