Peterborough telegraph said back in today and not tomorrow ahead of Easter break so if no verdict today won't be until after Easter

Was wondering the same

its finished earlier than normal and starting later than normal so kinda wonder if there are going to more instructions or something.

[SuperStarSleuth]

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

 

[UK Girl]

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

 

[UK Girl]

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

 

[SuperStarSleuth]

6 years ago today James was arrested... wonder if we'll have a verdict today... what we thinking will happen to the case if he's found not guilty?

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?

 

[UK Girl]

Ugh its been adjourned again

 

[SuperStarSleuth]

Ffs what the hell is going on..

 

[UK Girl]

Ffs what the hell is going on..

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.

 

[UK Girl]

I dont know what this is meant to mean. Adjourned til tomorrow or they have put the time in wrong? it doesnt say the jury are out though so not sure
