Yes. I followed the Courtney Valentine-Brown case as it was ongoing - I actually nearly went to observe when I was killing time in Chelmsford for the day but it had transferred back to Basildon Crown Court.
Seeing Kelly King's mugshot was a bit of a shock compared to her Facebook profile photo
it did irritate me that they never once said that CVB was a convicted drug dealer. Ian Slater talked briefly about him dealing drugs (which is why KK was letting him live in her flat) but he got a fairly long stretch in 2016 for dealing heroin and crack cocaine. Yet the family still want us to believe he was just 'cheeky' and 'loveable'.
A DRUG dealer caught hiding a haul of Class A drugs in his sock has been jailed for almost six years.

The second case I was aware of but didn't follow. Very sad but I think the jury's verdict and judge's sentence was appropriate and compassionate in the circumstances.
The final case next week is another trial I followed.
