stansted 15 appeal, day 3. the final day! wearing the suit i wore for the very first day of trial (right) to bring those whole sordid affair full circle. whether we get the decision today or in a few weeks, here’s to it being the right one! let’s go let’s go let’s gooooo
you lot thought you’d escaped the chair shot didnt u x
ok we in the court now lads, just waiting for judges to come in for the final day of proceedings! the crown will finish off their submissions (boo) and then our lawyers will have the opportunity to reply (and finish them). you'll all be happy to know that...we brought receipts💅🏼
no offence but no idea what the crown are on about.
as in the state not the tv show x
i am simply too hungover for this man.
some lad just gatecrashed proceedings via the medium of video chat. the crown have been speaking for 25 minutes and the gatecrasher was the most exciting, interesting and new piece of the submission
crown barrister keeps saying 'in closing my submission' and then simply carrying on talking. please. i beg. finish it
my will to live just got up and left
imagine it being your job to talk for a living and still managing to be this dull!
once again @zedhas3 doing a great job of capturing what is going on (rt just whinging about how soul crushingly dull this lawyer is like me x) https://twitter.com/zedhas3/status/1331912561864962049?s=20
he's still fucking going
ok the crown have finally finished. back to us to hand their arses to them.
obviously i'm bias but it's just so clear that our barrister knows what she's up to and isn't just simply making shit up + trying to twist and distort arguments into shapes they shouldn't be able to make like the crown
this feels good!! pushing back on the horseshit the other side were peddling yday and this morning is a vibe! a mood! a moment!
meanwhile my mum's just text saying she's watching "mc cunty" talk about the tier system and, i know it's a tory but absolutely no idea which one it could be lmao
back in court, our lawyer is trashing the crowns arguments. exposing them for the nonsense they are!
she's coming back on the notion that we had no idea about the people who were on the plane. we've submitted evidence with the exact quotes from all of our trial evidence where we speak about it. EAT THAT @/CPS!!
feeling quite emotional hearing our lawyer come back on this. we've had to sit+listen to so much shite from the other side over the course of all of the proceedings (appeal+trials 1+2). we had closing speeches at trial but this feels like we can actually clap back on the nonsense
there's no jury to convince. just three judges who hopefully aren't going to be swept along with the distorted logic, the manipulations and the brazen lies of the otherside.
our lawyer repeatedly referencing a case called "wang" and i'm sitting here trying so hard not to laugh out loud. i'm 30 in 3 months lmao.
she said it three times in quick succession and i've got tears streaming down my face trying not to laugh someone help me
ok our first lawyer has finished (not before saying wang again tho) and our second one briefly summing up. it's almost over lads!
thats it. it's done! they're reserving judgement so now we just wait!
