Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

[Son of Cain]

Billy and Paul go off in a van. Not an ordinary van. A camper van

Wonder how much of that plastic stuff ended up on the motorway?

There's a lot in that trial I would have wanted to see, that being one of them. Also calling PC (or DC now) Craig Tinker as a witness to the previous incident. The police and/or forensics team giving evidence about the actual attack. Other witnesses to the continued stalking and harassment of Daisy. Scientific recreations of the attack and the angle the acid was thrown from. Justin's sister put on the stand and cross-examined about his previous stalking. A trial like that would have gone on for days, maybe weeks, not be all over in 2 days. Cross examinations of Daisy, Justin and Ryan, each one would have gone on for days.

It was just complete rubbish writing.

All true

[Dennis tanner]

Perhaps we will see the cross examination in the next episode. I hope so. I thought the judge allowed the defence barrister too much leeway in how she dealt with Ryan, the Prosecutor only made a half hearted objection. She was virtually calling both Daisy and Ryan liars, if Justin gets off will we see Daisy and Ryan charged with wasting police time and perjury? I know the prosecution have to disclose evidence to the defence, but I am not sure if the defence have to disclose their plan of denfence to the prosecution. Surely the time for Justin to tell his tale would have been when he was arrested and questioned by the police, as the trial has gone ahead we must assume that he did not. Should the Prosecutor and the judge not have raised this point. Corrie never write courtroom scenes very well, but here they have stretched the limits of imagination, and the bounds of credibility past breaking point.

Another good post. We never saw or heard Justin interviewed by the Police. He would have been interviewed and that would be the appropriate time to make his claims. The Judge should point this out to the jury, but will she? Probably not.

this stupid affair with ryan and daisy shouldn't be overshadowing the trial

[Son of Cain]

Gail, people don't always need to tell the truth, and by tell, I mean, say it out loud.

[Dennis tanner]

If any of the jury were in the slightest doubt they wont be after Justin's latest outburst.

They all seemed to have a nice time at Debbie's hotel I wish I was there

Ryan and Daisy were so fortunate that Justin hadn't engaged the services of that fantastic transatlantic lawyer Double D - Corries answer to Marcus Christie

[parkerman]

Did the judge not think it worth her time and effort to give a summing up?

[lizann]

justin's sister might go on a revenge mission now against daisy

If they run out of ideas, she may well do.
