Back in court again today :)

Case adjourned til midnight...I guess thats another mistake

Details:Trial (Part Heard) - Resume - 10:05
Trial (Part Heard) - Case adjourned until 00:00 - 10:13

I assume the Jury are out again unless its actually been adjourned to another day

Why the Easter break starts tomorrow I don't know?

I was thinking that as tomorrow is just a normal day. But then I was also wondering why they had yesterday off. There must be a log of cases lagging due to this case :(

The Old Bailey is working today...just not this case for whatever reason which in a way isnt a surprise given they work an hour and have a break for some reason :(

I have no idea. Number 1 court has only just started - the rest of them started hours ago. It seems a weird time to start and I wondered if she had more instructions. The worst thing is the Prosecution deserve to lose this case but that would make Rikki would likely never receive justice :( I mean six years since he was arrested and that case was the best they could come up with?

Honestly when this case is finished - assuming it ever does finish I think it should be looked at how long the case took...how many hours they didnt seem to be doing anything as they was on another adjournment or break or not in at all. When you consider what it costs to run that court room, the barristers costs etc its probably been well over a million pounds...and maybe a lot more. It has lasted around four months so far...the Prosecution had barely any evidence and spent most of their time attacking Ruth and said their case is circumstantial but to ignore evidence from the police which their own evidence comes from. I really do hope Rikki gets justice but...this case has been handled so weirdly and I dont understand why the Judge didnt try and move it along more or tell them that all the witnesses and evidence about Ruth was pretty much irrelevant as that is just confusing things.
