Interesting points of view David.
Unfortunately, Court procedure these days isn't that simple. Mores the pity !

Re: Trial of Gary William Dobbie
Day 2 report from The Mirror. Unpleasant reading. I understand from Leeautemps that the Court is not sitting today.

My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We’ll see about that.

Unpleasant reading indeed. Much as we may want to, we must remember to resist the temptation to comment further at this juncture.marty wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:50 am Day 2 report from The Mirror. Unpleasant reading. I understand from Leeautemps that the Court is not sitting today.

I hope the teacher that the victim confided in is called as a witness, assuming they are still alive.

Yes, that's my understanding. I hope to be in court when that individual gives evidence. If that happens, I can report back but only with details okayed by JT first.

Re: Trial of Gary William Dobbie
I didn't make it down so far. If I understand correctly, it will continue next week?

Re: Trial of Gary William Dobbie
I may be wrong, but I thought it was only today the case was not being heard.
Case estimated to last until a week tomorrow.
I haven't checked the Court lists today

Thank you, that would be much appreciated.Leeautemps wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 1:29 pm @dazedandconfused:

Is it acceptable to name that teacher on here once they have appeared in the witness stand? If the press coverage of this trial is similar to previous trials they will be named in the DM before that day is out anyway.

Re: Trial of Gary William Dobbie
My understanding is that the Judge can demand anonymity of any witness, and breach would be a severe case of Contempt of Court.

Re: Trial of Gary William Dobbie
Not quite dear JR!
Obviously no victim can be named, but the same doesn't apply to witnesses, such as a former teacher. The Judge might make a specific order, but this would be highly unusual. It's a fundamental principle of open justice than anything said in open court can be reported.

Will be interesting to see if that teacher is called for the prosecution or defence....DazedandConfused wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 10:43 am I hope the teacher that the victim confided in is called as a witness, assuming they are still alive.
