The Verdict (or maybe not) ?

As promised I will announce the verdict of the trial I have been clerking. It was..........a hung Jury. The jury could not come to a unanimous or majority decision so they were discharged, and it is now in the hands of the CPS whether or not they wish to try the defendant again. We will know soon.

I also remember saying that I would use this post to write about the whole outdoor clerking thingamabob, but after having retired to the nearest pub at lunch with Counsel for a few well earned cold ones, I'm not really in the mood to do it justice. I promise that I will cover it in my next post.
