I intend to post this daily at 4pm until verdict day. Will use different colours to demonstrate each day

Use a pretty colour when you cross me out tomorrow.

Which year are we talking about?

That too, take your pick.. plenty of Wednesdays in different months aswell!! Maybe we are all being unrealistic, what if the verdict comes back in August, end of summer holidays.. surely not?!!

Personally, I think the jurors should start coming in around 9 am and stay until 5 at least, every day.IMO, 3 or 4 hours a day is not going to cut it. How much can you really get done in such a short time?

Come in and be engaged for a full workday schedule , for 3 or 4 days....make some headway.

Absolutely!
I was amazed with these hours 10.30-16.00
Minus lunch

Yes and no

10.30 till 4 is nothing. BUT a longer day, with the intensity of concentration expected, means mistakes will happen if you drain people for 8hrs. People will be too exhausted to state their case imo and might cave to pressure.

As much as 4.5hrs is ridiculous, I hope its a quality 4.5 work day

Quality over quantity right?

I'll see what Android can do! I'll try at least red and blue to reflect Katys US location.

I once wrote October - anniversary of trial's start.

I think they"d just get exhausted and lose focus.

The news today about this case today is exceptionally thin (probably because nothing happened of any note given jury out). News is utterly consumed now with the BBC presenter who was alleged to have had communications with various people and has gone into mental health hospital. I wonder if there are plans by the media ministry to counterweight the verdict in this case - which could be imminent at this point in time, or even embargoed - with other things given the severe impact this verdict is likely to have on the overall mental wellbeing of the general reader once it all gets re-sensationalised. There is no doubt in my mind that there will be reverberations not unlike the Moors, the Wests, and Shipman, if she is found guilty, if not more so, given the serial nature, the person of trust and the fact that those we need to protect most - the defenceless young - died. Insulin aside (and that's a big aside), it seems to me much of the case for guilty relies on Marnerides' witness, while for not guilty, on the discrediting of the other medical witnesses (loath to call the medics themselves a cabal - though if not guilty then that word surely applies) around air embolus, and the statistical arguments (convenient to pin it on LL). I'm also wondering if the jury want their weekends back, or whether they'll give it one more weekend to sleep on the vast arrays of facts, statements, notes and pleadings. I further do not rule out, based on experiences I do not wish to go into here, if any there were 2 psychopaths at work and not just one.

Tell you what
From my experience of attending numerous meetings:

At the beginning everybody is BUSY making nice cuppa of coffee,

In the middle smokers start fidgeting pressing for a break,

In the end everybody looks anxiously at the clock.

I have to admit, I’m now wondering if we perhaps shouldn’t rule it out. Nine months already, almost a whole year has soon come round.
I agree with other posters here, once the verdict is out, if guilty there will be a tsunami of reports of different things. Such an immense amount of time to have been sat on this for so long imo.

 

[Sweeper2000]

would it be ok to change my predicted time? I personally think it’s ok to make an exception.

I'm back.

What an exhausting day.

We wandered round to the court at about 10.45am, it was pouring with rain, so didn't feel inclined to hang around for long.

Saw a lot of news cameras set up under the covered entrance to the court and I asked one of the crew if they were there for the Letby trial. He said they were and they will be there for the duration. He also said there will be a 25 minute notice for everyone to convene at court once they know there is a verdict.

I'm very pleased to say the sun came out this afternoon and we managed to get some beautiful pictures in the grounds of the university. Now I've got some catching up to do.

What have you been doing???

 

[Tortoise]

Oh you look angry. Maybe I should just relax awhile, and catch up in the morning.

 

[Parker Knoll]

Glad you had a great time and the SUN came out …. That’s a proper Manchester curve ball !
25 minutes eh … yikes !

 

[WaxLyrical]

A 25 minute heads up. Knowing my luck I’ll have followed this thing for 9 months and totally miss the verdicts lol

 

[Parker Knoll]

Yes me too … I’m not walking my Chester until after 4 from now on as WiFi too patchy to risk it !
