Please be very cautious about what is posted (i.e. please only post an answer to my question) but does anyone have the precise dates/venue of Gary Dobbie's upcoming trial and is anyone from the forum attending. Thanks.

Charles, I have moved your post to this Forum.
There is some more information on another thread in this Forum. I believe we may know more quite soon. I will make a discreet enquiry.
J.

It would be really good if someone could go... I would take the day off to attend but I'm 5000 miles away!

I imagine Dobbie will appear via a video-link from which ever establishment he is currently relaxing in.
However, whatever the outcome on Tuesday, I should be able to find out pretty quickly.

I have just been updated by those in the know.The trial is likely to last 4-5 days and Dobbie will be taken to court every day and in all probability will have been moved to HMP Lewes to keep the cost down.

I am thinking of going. If anyone else is, let me know.
I’ve never sat in a public gallery before. Is there anything I need to know?

As I recall, Court 4 at Hove Crown Court is quite small with only a few seats for the public. No gallery as such, so arrive early.
You will obviously be searched, (
for metal objects), on entering the building. The clerk of the court
MAY ask for your interest in the case. Apart from that, it's pretty straight forward really.

I used to drop in at the Old Bailey when I had nothing better to do. What you need to know: 1) it helps to have a strong stomach; 2) barristers relish the opportunity to use the foulest language possible ('only quoting'). On one occasion, when a Jamaican was standing trial for murdering his brother (he was acquitted on grounds of self-defence) I learnt quite a lot of Jamaican English. As from this exchange:
Defendant: He said he would limb me down.
Lawyer: What did you you understand him to mean by that?
Defendant; He meant he would cut off my arms and legs.
Lawyer: I see. You use this expression, do you, where, er, you come from?
