Lucy Letby Case #45

[AmeliaPevensie]

It's happening!!

 

[KatieMorag]

That's it - they're out. I can't even express how much I want justice for those families. It won't undo the evil that has been done but it's the very least they deserve.

I thought they had come back with a verdict god I hope it's soon.

 

[Katkitkat]

I'm actually nervous. I hope they come to the right verdict together and the parents have some from of closure from all this.

escorted smoke breaks!

I remember this happened when I was on jury duty during deliberations. I don’t smoke but others who did had to be escorted.

My anxiety has anxiety

10.30 - 4 each day. Presumably an hour for lunch, so only 4.5 hours a day? Seeing as they took an hour instead of 20 mins to do their stickers, I’m thinking we might waiting longer than we’d hoped!

 

[KatieMorag]

I'll be surprised if there aren't any questions from the jury due to it being such a complex case with so many charges. Will this get reported ie: what the question is and the response?

Not in the UK I don't think. A question could be quite outing about how the discussions are going I'd imagine.

So intrigued to see how the next few days go. Out of interest, is there a finish time for deliberations each day? Like if they haven’t finished by 5pm (for example) it rolls on to the next day I’m assuming? I’m just trying to work out a time frame for the next few days where I need to keep an eye on my phone vs when I can know it’s the end of their day and not worry about it until the next day haha. The FB wankers saying 4 weeks?! Surely bleeping not. I wonder if the judge will give a limit and how long it would be if he did? So many questions

The Dr Shipman Jury took 6 days - 15 counts of murder - https://www.archive.is/oldest/https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2000/jan/31/shipman.health5

No. Lunch is brought to the deliberation room. Or it was on the 1 day I was in there for. Only ‘breaks’ were escorted smoke breaks

 

[MedeaWho]

Why unanimous though?

Same. And if someone goes to the loo (there was one in an alcove to our deliberation room so before the guarded bit) you're not allowed to talk about the case until they come back. If one person went, we took the opportunity for a few to go!

 

[Tofino]

Oh how I’d love to be a fly on the wall in that room right now.

 

[LittleMy]

Are we all popping over to the Huw Edwards BBC Presenter Scandal thread now?

I was living my Turkish delight free life until I joined tattle now seeing it everywhere.

That’s good to know, thank you

 

[BearOnChair]

Why unanimous though?

I think that's the starting aim and then the judge can direct it differently if they don't agree after so long.

 

[Tofino]

Why unanimous though?

It’s always the starting point. The judge will decide at a later date when he will accept a majority.

Sky just announced breaking news that jury was out so news teams must be getting ready too now
