Today’s fun was listening to 6 speeches by the barristers… Yes, it took all day!<\/p>\n
At 3:40 when the last one finished the judge said he’d start his one tomorrow
\nmorning at 10am. Hopefully this means that tomorrow will be the last day
\nas directly after the judge’s summing up and direction on the law we will
\ngo into deliberation.<\/p>\n
Of course, then we have the problem of picking a foreman before trawling
\nthrough the evidence and coming up with a verdict for each of the defendants
\nand for each of the indictments. Still, we SHOULD<\/b> be finished by the
\nend of tomorrow. If we don’t then we’ll have to continue Friday. I don’t
\nknow if we’d have to spend the night in a hotel in that case.<\/p>\n
I’m now waiting at work for a hob-nobbing session with a committee overviewing
\nthe report into how our department works for reasons of funding. At least
\nit will be free food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
