Bobby's little daughter's in the dock [Ghislaine Maxwell micro-thread]

[imitationleather]

I always thought it would be a great idea to open an art gallery that is just a load of famous and memorable court sketches.

In the very early series of Have I Got News From You I'm sure I remember a round where you had to guess the news story from the court sketch. That was good.

I wonder if she'll try to get sympathy by saying her father abused her? Much as I can believe it of the old drowned cunt, unless she's got good evidence it's a lying paedo-enaber saying it, so not very compelling.

As far as I've read, she of all the siblings was the one who was most fond of him, and she was obviously his favourite too. He was a shit father to her in lots of ways, but I'd be surprised if they used that as a defence now, especially out of the blue.

[Blumf]

I think it's taken her a lot of restraint not to turn up in a wheelchair with an oxygen cylinder.

Got a Viz style Jimmy Hill snuck into this one.

A LOL from me, there.
Also, love the " Oh you're *Still*doing this shit, are you?" contemptuous expression the court sketch artist has put on yer woman's fizzog, 'ere.

[touchingcloth]

I think it's def possible counsel said that. On the other hand, what sort of reaction did you have in mind? Would you use your 'oh god they rumbled me' face, or your 'it wasn't me!' face? I'd be like, 'how very dare you'.

Based on the courtroom dramas I've seen - so you can count on this being accurate information - lawyers seem to habitually hire other lawyer mates to run mock cross examinations with their witnesses and clients before they arrive in court, so she's probably heard it all before delivered by loudmouth thrusting lawyer types, so that the actual accusations in court come as zero surprise at all.

The former house manager of Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach home said Thursday that Ghislaine Maxwell warned him that he should "never look" his boss in the eyes, describing a work environment where he faced the grim task of cleaning up their sex toys amid stifling micromanagement.

Sounds like an absolute nightmare

Since when was John Barrowman a judge? And surely he shouldn't be using a walkie talkie in court.

The window in the top right corner is very sad about all this.

So Jennifer Arcuri has accused Andrew Neil of being, um, involved and he's threatening litigation. Wonder what will come of that.

[Gurke and Hare]

Someone planting a bomb in the court when it comes to trial and taking both the fuckers out? Hopefully with Dominic Cummings giving evidence for some reason.

(Yes, I have been doomscrolling on Twitter this evening, why do you ask?)
