Note to the Judge??

From the Jury to the Judge.

Lets leave this for today. There are many possible reasons for an early adjournment, Tomorrow will tell.

Unfortunately, I'm 'tied-up' tomorrow, (NO - Not in that way), but hope to be kept in touch.

JR.

Several forum posters attended so we should be able to find that out pretty soon. When would be the earliest to post this type of info? Unfortunately this information is somewhat relevant to me personally.

In answer to the above question, this has to depend on the outcome at the conclusion of this current case.

I wonder if something is going on, as there is no listing today for the trial and it was supposed to resume at 10am

It’s possible, although I did notice during the trials last year that often The Law Pages wouldn’t show their trials at all and then halfway through the day all of the details would suddenly appear with events listed from the start of the day.

And lo and behold he has appeared on the list. Legal submissions at 11:41am.

Hearing Finished!! No idea of outcome though

I believe that may just refer to the hearing today rather than the trial overall.

A guilty verdict then?

A definite shift in tone in the letter from previous communications. At last.

It would appear so. I would think the school had someone attending court.

“Dobbie and other single male house masters would organise parties where champagne was served and the best-looking boys were picked to be waiters”

First time I’ve heard reference to other house masters being involved in parties.

The teacher that the victim confided in hasn’t been named, which is a shame.
