Oh lads. Been away for a long weekend, thought I was missing live reporting but knew I could catch up on our 4h drive home… the disappointment when I saw we were still on the same thread
My first thought was maybe a juror had a family emergency, such as the death of a parent, and maybe they needed to make a decision to continue or not continue, but I do think it’s more likely that it’s just the same juror twatting about with “sickness” or some other excuse like childcare problems but whatever it is, judgey sounded pissed and it needs sorting out as these delays are ridiculous. The trial needs wrapping up. Can tattle just deliver the verdict
On another note. In these trials is there anyone in court that actually keeps a record of everything that is said. Everything that is asked and answered? I was just thinking about if there was ever a retrial due to jury issues. Surely it would be beneficial to have the hearing filmed and a new jury could watch what has already happened to save everyone repeating themselves

I know there’s properly rules and laws that prevent this as the whole thing is supposed to be heard again but god, imagine doing all this again, having to ask all the same questions all over again… listening to forgetby utter “I can’t recall” another 7000 times
Also “bad boy sex” with lawyers made me howl
