Ah lovely. Thanks Mr Farmer you can go now.

These witnesses are great, aren't they? My favourite is still the doctor who came to explain in IS' defence that IS' medical condition would not make any difference to his ability to hide a body.

Probably Dave.

I think the defence barrister is as scared as the prosecution team that this guy could be allowed to ever roam the streets again.

Morning All! BIB: Whilst it's comforting that as we civilized and developed nation, we adhere to due process and the rule of law which gives every individual the right to be judged by a jury of his or her peers this is verging on contempt of court.

If this is the best they can come up with they may as just dispense with the formalities and sentence him to life imprisonment.

Talk about getting money for old rope. Both Counsel must be counting their lucky stars!

Yes, sorry - my flippancy obviously wasn't meant in the literal sense!

Let's hope this charade puts him away for the rest of his miserable days.

However, under cross examination Mr Farmer admits the sighting of Helen could have been May, April or March 2016

Helen, who hated driving and didn't have a Range Rover. Unless her kidnappers were letting her swan about in theirs

Amazing how Helen was driving a Range Rover whilst dead and in the cess pit. WTF

snipped

sounds about right as that phrase comes from when the hangman could keep and sell on the rope, apparently!

'It was a Range Rover'

Mr Farmer is being re-examined by the defence.
Defence barrister Simon Russell Flint: “You told police it was a black range rover, it was an older shape, a few years old, it had nothing distinctive on it. It was not a sports model Range Rover?”
Farmer: “That’s right.”
Flint: “So a Range Rover or some other 4x4?”
Farmer: “It was a Range Rover.”
Flint: “It was suggested it might be March, April, May. What did you tell police?”
Farmer: “When they came to visit I said it could be four weeks ago, six weeks ago.”
That’s the end of Mr Farmer’s evidence.

Well, Mr Farmer might just as well have lobbed a grenade into the defence!

 

[Duchy]

So no defence at all.

Jury bundles

Jurors are now sorting out their jury bundles with various tabs.

They're probably just trying to fit everything into the compartment under the tab 'Guilty'.

BIB Aww Poor Ian Stewart. He's gonna hate this - when Trimmer gets going, reducing his complex fictional mish-mash to a load of basic twollox, striking through the pointless details with his broad brush.

( I mean coz IS has spent so many months on this, from first idea through all those re-writes. 2015 onwards! Akin to when your were at school and your A level tutor says - it's cr@p, with a big red pen.)

love it!!

IMHO this last evidence indicates that HB probably disappeared of her own free will, and that Nick and Joe were aware of this and abused this knowledge to extort money from IS. They also convinced HB to say a few words to IS over the phone, suggesting to HB that this would prevent IS from looking for her, and to IS that they were holding her captive.

It must be obvious by now that Nick and Joe are in fact the Nick and Joe who were presented at Court.

I rest my case.

Ah lovely. Thanks Mr Farmer you can go now.

In fairness to the guy he must crave a little excitement after serving toasted teacakes and skinny lattes day in day out. When the Sun hack turned up he must have felt like superman. He WAS someone that mattered. He WAS important. Suddenly, the whole Helen Bailey case was Farmercentric and those toasted teacakes and Lattes had brought him here, fate, destiny, he was the man!!
