One interesting point is that the newspapers (and the TV) did not report the proceedings of the trial of the Algerian terrorist & his mates until the verdict was announced. The press, was of course, subject to a banning order on the basis that the Bourgass had already been found guilty (again unreported) of the murder of Constable Oake and thus a possible inference of guilt on the part of the jury in the second trial.

However, this is not the end of the matter. There are 4 more terrorist trials currently underway with a similar number in the pipeline, again with the press under notice not to report; the reason - interlinkage between the accused in each trial. We shall have to wait and see what the verdicts will be and what has been the evidence before the courts.
