Lucy Letby Case #34

[raspberryjuice]

This is worded really weirdly. I wonder what’s going on. I also wonder if it’s the same juror ‘going sick’ quite often and they’re considering continuing with 11 jurors?

From the Standard
10:39am
Eleven of the 12 members of the jury come into court.
The judge tells them the trial cannot proceed unless all 12 of them are present, and one is not present for "particular personal reasons".
"There is obvious uncertainty in relation to your colleague's position", he adds.
The jury are urged to turn up tomorrow unless they hear otherwise.
The judge tells the jury: "We have had a lot of breaks, and there comes a time where we cannot keep having more and more breaks, as it becomes inappropriate.
"Events do occur which are unexpected, and we have had a few during this case."
The court is told that a view will be taken tomorrow on the 12th juror.

Can the judge tell this juror to do one this late in stage ? Maybe it’s the same one all the time..

Urgh had a bad feeling because of the bank holiday yeah this is why I definitely can’t make the trip to court!!

 

[nosycowmoo]

Not on, juror absence!!

Ffs!

Sounds like they will let the 12th go tomorrow if they don’t turn up seems like it’s always them that can’t make it, it just faffs everyone around and costs lots of money!

What a waste of everyone's time. All the jurors as well. I wonder if it's the same person who has been off several times

 

[FastAndTheCurious7]

I wonder if it’s the same juror that’s been off each time?

 

[DellaC]

Sounds like the jury member might be leaving the jury if they don’t attend tomorrow and they could be down to 11.

I wonder if it's the same one continually causing all the disruption through absence?

Bloody hell.

When I did jury service many moons ago, one of my fellow jurors was dismissed really late in the case - we carried on as a Jury of 11. When we deliberated the Judge only accepted a unanimous decision or a 10-1 majority.

ETA It definitely sounds like its the same juror that is absent most of the time. I get the impression that the judge is a bit pissed off.

I’ve never liked how often it used to be a Monday. When the football was on, I don’t think court ever sat the day after an England game

 

[Here2BNosey]

Can they proceed with 11 Jurors does anyone know?
The Judges words make him sound slightly pissed at this turn of events.
Will today be spent in legal discussions, with BM trying to get it thrown out and BNE saying we'll just roll with the 11?

The one time I manage to fully catch up on the thread ready for court and this happens, sorry feel like I've cursed it.

 

[raspberryjuice]

Hope the juror gets their act together and can continue. Imagine sitting through all the evidence so far and then you get dismissed a few weeks before the end and never get to have your say

Ive just googled it, apparently so.....

 

[Motherofpugs]

Imagine giving up 7 months of your life for jury duty in a trial like this to just duck everyone around and then be told to sod off I bet their employer will be fuming if they don’t even see it through until the end. (Speculating ofc but seems suss).

 

[MrsDimSum]

Matt Goss is sounding more than a little ducked off this morning isn’t he?

Phew!

To be fair I think they have done well to get this far without losing any already.

 

[Aberscot]

I know it’s been a big ask for this jury to turn up for all this time so not really want to criticise too much but shouldn’t they have let the person go before now if it’s the same person. they really need to be fully on the ball ready for the deliberations and one being off sick all the time must be so frustrating for everyone and costing a fortune.
LL go back to your cell and sweat it out another night !

Bloody hell.

i think so, I wonder if they claim it’s because of childcare reasons which explains the wording. Feel even more flat today now

I am going to use the chance to have a fairly deep house clean and get the winter clothes washed and packed away.. my life is otherwise very quiet normally anyway. The current bit of fun I’m in touch with lives near Sydney, so even he’s asleep most of the day I think my subconscious only allowed me to respond to him because he couldn’t really get any physically further away

makes you wonder if it’s nearly always the same juror!

ETA: realise I’m about the tenth person to say this…

 

[LittleMy]

It got to be the same person a lot surely. That was quite a statement from Matt Goss, he sounds done. We feel ya, pal.

Lucy Letby lives to sweat another day…

 

[tinkertailorsoldierspy]

Definitely suggests it's been the same juror on more than one occasion. Also sounds like they will be able to carry on with 11 if necessary tomorrow. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
