can they bring cases forward drastically due to public interest? I have no idea about the law, but I would imagine in a case like this which everyone is aware of they would want to?More likely to be due to public interest (as in seeing justice done quickly because he's a serving police officer)
Saying that, it's still seven months away - I read somewhere earlier that custody time limits have been extended to eight months (rather than six) due to the backlogs.
I don't think they have to. It's usually stated when the inquest is opened though.

Having read this, I don't think it's about public interest - I was getting confused, there's been a lot to take in - but fast tracking does definitely happen.can they bring cases forward drastically due to public interest?

Sadly not , he is doing every trick to stall the trial, everyone is allowed a fair trial so everything he claims has to go through procedure, despite everyone knowing he is a lying bastardcan they bring cases forward drastically due to public interest?

so will he just be held in prison until then? I hope he is on suicide watch, there is no way he should get away with thisSadly not , he is doing every trick to stall the trial, everyone is allowed a fair trial so everything he claims has to go through procedure, despite everyone knowing he is a lying bastard
This probably won't get to trial until late this year or even next year now, the only thing that will move the trial quicker is the fact they know he did it and presumably there is a lot of evidence to prove it, if they can deal with his delaying tactics quickly then you never know it might quicker than expected.
Its not like this is a complicated case , it will be down to how long his defence can stall it for. I think they may have him go somewhere for them to assess his insanity plea, and let's face it he might be able to pretend once or twice when he knows he is being watched, but they will watch him 24/7 and he won't be able to pull it off, you have to be insane for real to pull that off.
no application for bail was made.so will he just be held in prison until then? I hope he is on suicide watch, there is no way he should get away with this
he is clearly just an awful person, doesn't surprise me that he is adding this insult to injury in the case. Not only must this be awful for Sarah's family (as if the situation wasn't horrendous enough) but this must be awful for his family, god knows what the children are going though at school, I assume the mother will be totally ostracisedI’m sure are a psychiatrist will be able to tell pretty quick whether he’s insane. If this is a delay tactic it’s extra cruel.
indeed Jim Sturman QC is a hugely experienced Silk - he defended Colin Stagg.Guys be careful with what you say remember we can’t say anything that assumes he is guilty.
He seems to have a barrister who is experienced in working with cases involving diminished responsibility & insanity.
Homicide
Jim has considerable experience defending those accused of murder and/or manslaughter, as well as clients accused of causing death by dangerous and reckless driving. He has acted in more than 50 murders in his career as a junior and as a leader, with issues ranging from diminished...www.jimsturmanqc.com
The wife's having a difficult time.he is clearly just an awful person, doesn't surprise me that he is adding this insult to injury in the case.

very very easily. I have a friend who is a defence barrister - he represents rapists, abusers. Anyone who works in the law has an admiration for British justice - our legal system is the one of the best in the world. No it’s not perfect. But everyone is entitled to the same level of representation- and everyone is innocent until proven guilty.How people can be defense lawyer is beyond me. Imagine having to fight his corner? I couldnt/wouldnt do it.

yeah same, I have a barrister friend who has had to defend paedophiles in court... I get you have to... but I could never even have a conversation with a monster like that tbh. well done that they can.... but I don't get itI understand that people are innocent until proven guilty but actually defending someone like him in court. I would find it difficult.
Yeah , he will be held on remand until his trial, he is going for insanity so no way he would get bail, I dont know where he is being held but its probably less harsh on remand as everyone is innocent until proven guilty, so at the moment he isn't in general population, I imagine his cell door will be open 24/7 with people sitting watching him all the time, I dont think there could be any shift worse than 8 hours watching some bloke, eat, shower and go to the toiletso will he just be held in prison until then? I hope he is on suicide watch, there is no way he should get away with this
The worst thing about it is that they probably are friends and becomes a friendly bet as to who wins , so the defence are doing it to get a win and therefore can become a bit more expensive for someone.How people can be defense lawyer is beyond me.
