Yes get in there Judge Bright! Remind them of that bookmark!

yes Strimmer didn't include that in his summing up, Bright was adding a note as he was listening to Trimmer at same time as we were ?

I love Judge Bright. LOVE.

Helen's phone no longer connected

“At 8.02am Jamie Stewart left for work. “Helen searched on her iPad between 9.10am and 9.28am.

“There is then a period of 38 minutes when she’s no longer online - you may want to consider whether she took Boris for a walk during that time.

“At 9.41am Helen received an email from her friend Tracey Stratton and at 10.06am Helen used her iPad. “The last use of her iPad was at 10.51am.

“The last time Helen’s phone is shown on the phone network was at 12.15pm. There is no activity until 3.18pm, when Tracey Stratton attempted to call Helen.

“A cell site analyst told you this gave rise to three possibilities - the first option was that the phone had been switched off, or the sim card has been removed, or that it had been switched to airplane mode.

“Helen’s phone has not connected to the telephone network since.”

Judge Bright is sticking it to him on every piece of damning evidence - he didn't have cancer but piles, he wasn't interested in an engagement ring, ergo marriage, Helen made sure he would be fabulously wealthy if she died before they wed, as soon as she was 'missing' he amended the standing order to £4k, pushed for POA and tried to sell her flat...

This HAS to be a unanimous Guilty verdict on all charges - I would bet everything I own, plus Dolly's sausages, on it.

Helen took out £1.2m life insurance

“Helen referred to Stewart as her first priority, and couldn’t decide how the other beneficiaries in her will would benefit, so a temporary will was made.

“Helen took out a £1.2million life insurance policy, which would be paid to Stewart if Helen died before they married.”

That's more like it!

Standing order increased to £4,000

Stewart rearranged an appointment at Bassingbourn surgery for later on that same afternoon, citing car trouble.

“Someone using the router at Baldock Road in Royston was successful on logging onto Helen’s bank account at 2pm that afternoon.

“That standing order was increased to £4,000 per month, with effect from May 7, 2016.

“You’ll want to ask yourself whether Helen would have been alive at that time, and could have amended that standing order herself.

“Janice Richards claimed to have seen Helen walking her dog between 1pm and 2.20pm.

“Angela John said she saw Helen out walking between 3.40pm and 3.50pm on April 11.

“It is for you to decide how important this evidence of the sightings of Helen Bailey will be.”

“Stewart was the trustee and beneficiary of Helen’s will."

Hope this is a reporter error. He wasn't the trustee - Tony Hurley was.

Judge Bright has cleaned up!

Hope this is a reporter error. He wasn't the trustee - Tony Hurley was.

Wasn't he the sole executor?

I like the way that the judge was careful to refer to the operation as keyhole surgery too, i.e. not as debilitating as IS was making it out to be.

Exactly!

I'm nearly 3 weeks post op from my keyhole surgery now. Couldn't lift a dinner tray, my arse!! I can run up and down stairs and was dancing as I made dinner yesterday!

this makes me wonder if IS did try on Monday April 4 to kill Helen....if he had been successful then, he would have been able to get an extra £4K into his account on April 7

OK Cags,

Permission to answer your question about verdicts again once the Judge's summing up has finished lol

Browsing history missing

The browsing history on the defendant’s laptop was missing between 9 and 15 April 2016, which suggested to him it had been deleted.

The software flagged up there had been activity on the computer on April 11 - these two entries had been missed where the internet history had been deleted and the person doing the deleting would not have been aware they were still there.

The prosecution say this was an unsuccessful attempt by Stewart to delete his web history - the defendant states that he did no such thing.

“A further attempt was made to log onto Helen’s bank account on April 15, 2016. This can be linked to the computer of the defendant.

“The defendant said he was intending to check Helen’s account for activity - and for no dishonest reason.”

Glad to hear it CP

That has made my day. Yes Jury take note....PILES and NOT cancer. Despite what the slimy one has suggested.

YESS! Love that he's pointed out the cancer was literally a PILE of sh1t3!

I can't wait to see all this in one Alyce-created chunk :happydance:

Later on the afternoon on April 11 the defendant had his dressing changed at 2.58pm.

“The nurse Lynn Hull said the defendant was distant and there was no eye contact.

“The defendant reiterated he had car trouble.

“Later on the defendant drove to a recycling centre in Royston where he disposed of a white duvet and cardboard boxes. At

4.30pm the defendant attended the solicitors to drop off paperwork relating to the sale of Helen’s Gateshead property.

“The defendant attended his son Jamie’s bowls match in Cambridge before stopping to get a Chinese takeaway. Jamie said he assumed Helen was at home on the evening of April 11, and that his father said nothing to him on this night about Helen going away.”

well done Judge Bright - correcting SRFs comment re IS being normal at Surgery

Hope this is a reporter error. He wasn't the trustee - Tony Hurley was.

Tony was the executer. Does he then have trustees?

Stewart 'worried' over Broadstairs trip

“Jamie Stewart said it was the next day he was told by Stewart that Helen had gone to Broadstairs.

“He also told Helen’s brother John Bailey that Helen had left a note.

“John Bailey said the defendant expressed surprise Helen had not told her brother she had gone to Broadstairs, and said in a panicked tone ‘you’ve got me worried’.
