Trial

I've checked the daily court lists (which include plea hearings and so on) for today at Preston, Burnley and Manchester (indeed, every Crown Court in the North of England) and none of them show Robert Cottage as appearing. Anyone got any idea where he's coming up?--Ketlan 11:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. Thats weird. Does that mean he hasn't been charged? ... Kafkaesque Seabhcan 12:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Difficult to say until we get more information but I suspect all it means is that he's already made his plea (today was just a plea hearing) and that's it now until the case begins properly on February 12th. I would have expected a formal hearing though - even if it just lasted for a few seconds.--Ketlan 23:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In fact the hearing is tomorrow in Court 3 at Manchester Crown Court (10.30am). According to the court listing, both Robert Cottage and David Jackson are due to appear. Oh well. Watch the news guys.--Ketlan 16:07, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any links to the court listings online, or is the system so entirely antiquated that we can't see what's going on there unless we get to the building on foot?Goatchurch 13:52, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Surprisingly, yes there are - http://www.courtnews2.co.uk/courtlists/current/indexdailies.htm --Ketlan 17:15, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Criticisms of the press coverage

About the criticisms of the press coverage: the section, I think, might benefit from a bit of expansion and clarification. The significant point is that these two men were charged almost immediately after their arrest -- a matter of hours, I think. Once you're charged with something, of course, there's very little the press can report other than your name, age, address, the fact of the charges and some basic details. If, however, someone's arrested under the Terrorism laws, they usually find themselves questioned for several days, or even weeks, before they're formally charged with anything. And during those several days or weeks, the press can -- and frequently does -- print acres of coverage and speculation. If people think it would be worthwhile, I'll draft something with the legal references. NotSaussure 17:18, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that this would be very much worthwhile... 78.86.18.55 (talk) 20:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
