[Niner]

Is anyone going to post tweets here for trial? If not, I can... found a tweeter.

Tag me - IF you need me to post tweets!

I'm more than happy to post updates from the Hull Daily Mail if anyone needs me to!

What are the rules for reporting on live trials?

Does anybody know what time it starts?

Good morning all. Just been popping on and off here for the last couple of months but today is the day we have all been waiting for for what seems so long now.

I'm still fully sticking by my theory I posted a few weeks ago, of my belief that once PR has been found guilty of these offences (which I truly believe he will be - of the majority anyway), it will be the final piece of 'circumstantial evidence' the CPS require to be able to confidently charge him for offences related to Libby.

I think that is why things have been relatively quiet on the Libby front recently and I also believe it is the reason they are still not releasing her body for burial. They have obviously completed all their tests now so the only reason I can think of for them still holding her body is because they believe a charge is imminent and are holding her to give the defence a chance to complete their own autopsy once PR is charged.

I can see no other reason for it. If there was no chance of a charge coming soon I believe they would have given poor Libby back to her family by now. They don't keep bodies indefinitely until they charge someone BUT they are likely to hold onto it if they know a charge is imminent.

All JMO

I agree that the only reason I can think of that she has not been released to her family is something to do with this trial

Does anybody know what time it starts?

I posted last night details.

Court 7 with a couple of cases before, so probably not before 11am at earliest.

Some background reading on the judge... while we wait

I'll be around for a while. I don't know if any other locals are still following, so feel free to tag me with any Hull-centric questions.

What are the rules for reporting on live trials?

I vaguely remember from reading my daughter's journalism course notes once that journalists are permitted to report from a trial provided they report the facts only and no photos (hence we see sketches only) and they can only report at the time (ie. as the trial is going on). Something to do with 'public interest'.
[edited to add - the journalists reports have to be published asap, like in the next edition of the newspaper]

 

[Niner]

Well the tweeter is not really posting anything on what's going on - so I appreciate everyone else's updates!

It seems the delay is because the judge is busy sentencing someone else. I can't imagine them starting the case before lunch now.

 

[Kelumbo]

Sentencing for the other case ended at 12:00

 

[Skigh]

Does any one know how long the lunch break is ?

 

[Kelumbo]

Another case is in for mentioning now as of 12:20
