A jury member is questioning the coroner. Why are we dismissing it now when it was so relevant in the case?
You bloody legend.
'There is no causation. End of. So... er', she's struggling for words here to cement her flakey case.
He's coming back at her about the non actions of staff. Coroner is saying she'd been dead for a while so it didn't matter. 'Do you understand what I'm saying?'
Juror is pressing further about the time of death and how they don't know it. Oh my heart. What a decent citizen.
'I wouldn't worry too much about the time of death because we're never going to know when that was'. Contradictory nonsense even mentioning CSI.
'Sudden death. Babies die of sudden death. Death. People die suddenly....' Sweet cheesus.
The juror is still questioning... Coroner now in clipped mode. 'We don't know when she died.' @DrOliverLewis corrects her. There is a time of death.
'You all looked puzzled at the beginning but now you're looking a bit less puzzled.' This is such a dogs dinner.
'There's nothing to stop you saying you disagree with me but you can't write anything else [natural causes].'
'With respect, what are we bringing to the case?'
Now she's speed talking. The law says you have to have a jury. That's why you're here.
The law being what it is there is no causation, so you've got to fill in box three... Moving on now.
Two final directions before the jury retire. 1. Stand up. 2. Walk out of the room and fuck off home.
The coroner is reminded by barrister to direct on the standard of proof. Foof. Foof I say. Foof foof foof.
[Translates as 'the standard of proof isn't relevant because I've already decided there is no proof. Stop interrupting me.']
