Just paraphrasing here, as not allowed to copy verbatim, but have read comment to the effect that Judge will finish this afternoon and Jury go out today.

I would be very surprised if he can get it all done in 2.5 hours ?

Some judges are quite brief, other repeat virtually everything.

ETA Hopefully they will tweet the instructions re the various counts

Well we've already got the verdicts sorted on here, so everything else shouldn't take too long!

UK and Eire Database are saying it will take between 60 - 90 minutes for the judge to sum up but the jury could take '5 days or so to reach a verdict'!

Judge in Becky Watts trial is summing up the evidence, talking about legal points

 

[Clio]

Not seen anything about that yet

 

[mrazda71]

I've been following the case since Becky was first reported missing. I've also been following the Nathan O'brien/Liknes case from Canada. The only saving grace for this case (if there could even be one) is that at least Becky's family won't have to wait 2 or 3 years for the trial to be held unlike the loved ones of Nathan's and his grandparents :/

Have they dropped the stun gun charge ?

good point!

We need a WS fly on the wall!

I'm going yes, yes, no, no, yes, yes, no, no.

(No I am not Vicky Pollard)

I do not think it was murder, or at least not premeditated murder. I don't think SH was in Becky's room. Everything else, guilty as sin. 20 years for her, 30 for him please.

I wish they could add a sentence for "defiling a body" or whatever it's called in the USA because in all honesty that is the worst part for me.

just to be clear, do you mean you think it was manslaughter?

It's doesn't have to premeditated for it to be murder.
