There’s nothing showing for them for today so far. The only thing in court 5 is the teacher who murdered her partner

They’re in
This is just saying that the defendant (Gordon in this case) is attending by CVP, which is the HMCTS video link as its says DTA via CVP. Marten is appearing in person.
Starting at 3pm? Doesn’t even seem worth it does it?
It was adjourned until 9am tomorrow at 3.56pm today.
It's starting to border on farcical now....
Stuff like this really makes you understand why the jurors will be unwilling to shift pre-booked things now. Imagine if you’d come back from holiday a day early to accommodate the trial and you ended up being in for what was probably all of 5 mins once the faff etc had been sorted before it’s adjourned until tomorrow. You’d be livid.

The judge had the sentencing hearing of the teacher today. That’s why they weren’t in until this afternoon. That sentencing is a two-day hearing according to The Independent so expect the same tomorrow.
They weren’t due back until tomorrow anyway I thought?

Ive just googled this as i did jury service in 1992 as a youthful 18 year old - we got £4.50 a day for food!
Jurors in 2024 get the princely sum.of...
£5.71 a day for food if under 10 hours spent at court! 
So in 32 years its increased by £1.21! That's actually shocking
I'm trying to think back what £4.50 would have got you back in the day. Certainly a hot meal in a cafe or pub, even at London prices. Now you get a supermarket meal deal and maybe a Greggs coffee.
I don’t understand why it’s not saying jury are deliberating. To resume it sounds like there’s still legal arguments in court 
According to the Independent, they’re deliberating.

It says Jury are still out deliberating an hour ago.
Oh they didn’t report anything for yesterday. Wonder if the journalist just wasn’t there because not expected to be back until today.
Maybe legal arguments that they can’t report on maybe?
one less juror this week, are we closer to getting a verdict.
It must be near the point where they either can or can’t reach one.
Yes, it’s worrying that it’s not seeming close to a verdict yet.
We know there’s two charges that will be guilty, but I’m concerned that they are in deadlock over the others.
If the jury can't agree, does that mean that the trial could collapse?
