They can’t bring anything else up.
It still blows my mind that the jury had to actually ask for pens and paper to make notes at the start, and the court didn’t have any so someone had to trek down to WHSmith to get some….“we’re gonna need a bigger room”

He says verdicts should be unanimous on each count. He says if, after a certain length of time, jurors are unable to agree unanimous verdicts, then they will be brought back to court and further directions will be given.

Oh, and don't forget about sitting there covered in scarves shivering in cold.Yes! I forgot about that!! How ridiculous.
Honestly the whole thing has been a bit of an eye opener for me, I thought jurors were treated much better. Can’t believe they have to bring their own refreshments too.
Pretty sure they do it all at the same time.Thank you
PS does anyone know if the jury have to give their verdicts for all the counts at the same time? Or does the judge read them out their verdict for each count when he receives it then sends them back to the jury room to continue their deliberations for the other counts?
This is super interesting!The jury in the Shipman trial took 6 days to reach a verdict on 15 counts of murder so I reckon Monday next week for this trial - Shipman found guilty of murdering 15 patients
This is why it will take ages I think, as some will take the judges line of "you can use other guilty decisions to inform weaker cases" differently to others. Some will want to wrangle over each and every case to feel confident on it, in isolation of the other charges, rather than the "pattern approach" the judge allowed"He has instructed the jury to reach "unanimous verdicts on each count on the indictment".
So maybe it will take 80 to 90 hours if they try to be unanimous on 22 counts?????
