Trial was adjourned at 2pm until tomorrow 10am.

I hope that means the judge finished his summing up.

She was coming up to the typical retirement age for a high court judge (born January 1947 according to the Wiki link).

Wow another great find at source.
I wonder tho if she has been questioned by maybe distant colleagues. As I'm sure there's a certain camaraderie between them all.
Bit like when yr a sixth former at school. You can be helping out the year 9s one minute and talking to yr tutor as a friend not a tutor after school hours. Lol.

You are so blonde Gigi

This waiting game is frustrating - no reports this week.

Pahaha took the words right out of my mouth.... 👱

I know tell me about it. I've got hardly any Internet so I can't stomp around in Google. I really do hope there's some activity tomorrow. And Becky Watts Jury took 4 hours IIRC.
NOW that'd be promising.
Mind you from Tortoises descriptive adaptations from her notes. I get the impression from The Jury. That they were laughing AT him n JG. Not with them lol.
Fingers crossed Cottonweaver... hoping for sentences for Friday (puhleeeez) 😂

Bit more at link.

Thankies LB!

We need some Tweets or something. Even Danny Shaw wasn't reporting on Court #8.

He was on some kind of racial issue.

Ate you following OP live? Getting live tweets here. I must admit Nel is rather feisty. I think it was just a battle today between def n pro.
Whichever way it goes he's gotta have a custodial. If not for the 15. Then 8 plus time he'd done inside and on H A.

I only said a 'bit' - sorry.

But yeah, I assume the full article is what they sell, but no papers have bitten today. Or the last week.

Off topic, but I'm starting to realise how shocking court reporting is in the UK.

I don't mean bad reporting, just the lack of it.

I can only assume the figures don't add up for media outlets to have people covering cases.

The idea of televising cases has always horrified me, especially from the perspective of victims or witnesses.

But I'm a firm believer in open justice. People need to know what's happening in the courts.

IDK. I'm not so sure now.

I hope tortoise, flutterby and the other member of the mint-smuggling gang (sorry I've forgotten your username) know how much they are appreciated.

Thank you.

Evening all.

Been reading up on the Madeleine McCann case all weekend and today I've been looking at some of the colder cases on the UK Missing Kid's website and how cadaver dogs 'work'. Interestingly/ironically one of the 'alternative theories' about little Maddie is that she fell off the sofa in the apartment and that's why Eddie the cadaver dog altered there

Many people don't know that courts are open to public. Only time we find out for sure is when a celeb or someone's wag gets out of hand n you them being papd outside court. It's very how can I say it.... Draconian.
A lot of hierarchically, suited, in times gone by garb, with white wigs that our generation would of seen on TV.
When I was small mom used to watch Court people TV. A drama based on a Magistrates Court. And Rumpled of the Bailey. See even then my mom.wanted me to go into law lol.

And yes Tortoise has done an amazing job. As have others who've kept us up to date.
It's really great to hear straight from the horses mouth so to speak. Plus they can always sense the tension or the stifled laughs when BB gets his lawyer head on.. 😨

This is the only thing I can find from today, and I'm not even sure it's the right trial. I wish courtnewsuk would use hash tags.

Judge stamps his authority on the court: 'Everybody be quiet because it is my turn to talk and here I go.'

I don't think that was from their court. I presume jury have been out all afternoon. Is anyone there at all? I have some of my colleagues at the Bailey on other matters so may see if they can pop in and find out. I would hope there is a verdict soon always a worry the longer it goes on . I say this as usually I defend cases and our feeling is the longer it goes on the more chance you are in with a shout of a not guilty verdict. I have viewed this case from a very different perspective to he one I often have ie I really hope they are convicted of all matters. If BB is convicted only of child cruelty the worry is he will be released immediately as he has served the equivalent of a 4 year sentence already having been remanded since March 2014 I believe. Fingers crossed !

Sign up Gigi - Richie Sambora has registered with them. He reads it when he's on his loo in LA.

I have been watching the OP trial, which thankfully occurred whilst this BB JG trial is not being reported , at the same time as trying to read up about the EU so I can decide which way to vote!! Crazy but i started out certain and the more I read, the more undecided I became.
