Being nosey, and somewhat annoyed by David Davis, I went and had look a look at this £100,000 claim.
www.gov.uk
The company which covers Manchester Crown Court is Martin Walsh Cherer, who charge £1.47 per 73 words for 2 day service, or £1.23 per 73 for 12 working days, and 10p per page. Given the length of the trial, that £100,000 figure is probably about right.
However, you don't have to request the whole transcript. You can request specific parts of it by date, by witness etc. And presumably, the merry band of naysayers could all chip in, or look at the specific parts that fit their "expertise".
Assuming of course that this isn't another example of "oh it's all so impossible!" and "the system is against Lucy!"
Surely her lawyers have a copy?
And presumably the television companies that have made documentaries on her innocence have them?
Why don't they ask them to run off a photocopy?
