Even that Lauren Dickason case wasn’t unanimous; the jury was split 11-1. Makes you wonder what it was that made that one person so adamant that they couldn’t find her guilty when 11 other people could and when the evidence was pretty overwhelming.
Probably a man. So many have this weird complex where they can't imagine women could actually do terrible things, especially not a mum. They get socialised to think all women have some inherent nurturing quality (also why they expect us women to do all the cooking, cleaning, organising etc).

Dan’s ‘sent home” tweet went to my phone, I was mid conversation with a colleague but immediately glanced at my wrist and must have rolled my eyes as my colleague said what’s up 😆.

I get a shock when I realise that my kids are both 'mid twenties' - surely that can't be right when I'm only....... errr, yeah, I forget I was born in the 70's, (nearly in the 60's but managed to miss that by a few months!!!). My daughter once pointed out that when I was born, the second world war had only been over for 25 years! Now that made me feel old!
I know what you mean, I have a daughter in her early forties and I think how on earth did that happen 🙈 . I'm far too young to have a child that age 🤣🤣 The war had only been over 15 years when I was born. I have been asked if we had electricity when I was little 😂

I was told they don't do staggered verdicts anymore because the way a defendant reacts to hearing them can then bias the way the jury decides on the rest.

@mrs.darcy How is your brother and how are you? 😘
Hi Della, thank you for asking. He had his op today, said it went well but in a bit of pain. I asked him if it felt weird, his answer was "Yes! Earlier the only pain I had was below the knee 😂 " (He's had it amputated about the knee).

I'm doing ok, feeling a bit washed out but think it's because I've got this stuff going on and work is really busy just now. I'm not sleeping too well, which isn't helping.

How's your son doing? Has his chest infection cleared up now?

they lost me literally on the third sentence ‘I’m going to start by quoting from the following study’

A study that has not been used in evidence. This is ‘doing your own research’ which the jury are not allowed to do.

Is anyone capable of supporting their ‘reasonable doubt’ stance by using only evidence from the case rather than finding things on the World Wide Web that they believe support their view?
I hung on for a bit after that and then lost it at the point that their other source was the defence summing up! FFS!

Re discussion on partial verdicts. I did a post about it last week as I found the info direct from judiciary website. I’ll post a screenshot again. Essentially it’s possible the judge could ask for partial verdicts with reporting restrictions (so not secret or closed court, just not allowed to be reported like names of victims and witnesses), but (and JMO 🤣) I think given the nature of the case it would be unlikely he will do this as I think they are too linked.

That potentially awful then, so if they have verdicts on some but hung on others, and the judge decides on reporting restrictions I wonder what we will hear? Will we just know there is a retrial and therefore we will assume hung on all but in fact they could have agreed some verdicts?

Awww at least he can have a little joke about it, it's such a massive thing to go through...I wish him well in his recovery and adapting to his new life.

You've had so much going on it's no wonder you're feeling a bit out of sorts. I hope it all gets a bit easier 😘😘

Ah my lad is grand thank you, it took him a wee while to respond to the antibiotics but there's no stopping him now!

Where did they say they heard that?
Staff room gossip at the Countess of Chester hospital, apparently. More likely to be someone bored and tit-stirring for the hell of it. If she had been sectioned, I'm pretty sure it would be in the papers. A student nurse friend who was on placement there a year or so back, said no-one was allowed to talk about Lucy.

I’m just out all day and signal is sketchy at the caravan so takes me forever to catch up on even 10 pages and gifs/images don’t load properly. I can pay £5 per day for wifi but I refuse!!

Couldn’t have asked for better weather in Scotland though especially after the past few weeks. This is my sky right now. Yesterday and today have been beautiful ☀

it’s fab isn’t it. Hope you’re having a lovely relaxing time. I took some time out today and drove along the solway coastal route, pulled over with my thoughts at this beautiful part of the world

Nothing to report lovely. I had the chilblain with me and could just imagine him telling his teacher that mummy had taken him to court in the holidays. We did have some lunch round the corner just in case there was a sudden buzz about the place and I could sneak off for a nosey. Sadly not. There were loads of press hanging around though. Way more than the last time I went.
I do think you're onto something with some of your thinking today though...
Enjoy your hols, have a gelato and an aperol for me 😘

Don’t feel too bad - my 4yo asked me yesterday if books existed when I was little 😂

Its beautiful. is that the Galloway hills in the distance? That’s where I am 👋🏻 on the coast but keep popping into the hills and forest to explore. Will do more coast exploring next few days. Think the weather is turning again at the weekend.

So glad you’ve had some nice weather after last week. Hope today refreshed you! ❤ xx
