Jambo Tealeaf? Who is Jambo?

Oh! You mean me - jambutty. Please do me the courtesy of using my proper user name.

Much obliged for the correction my learned colleague. In my own defence I would offer that as I’ve never been in a court of law where a jury is sitting, for any reason whatsoever, so I am not familiar with the terminology used. However courtesy of films and TV I am familiar with how a jury is selected and what happens during a trial. I can’t remember what the judge said though.

The fact that our system is adversarial, as you so eloquently put it, will make it very hard to prove the case against those currently charged with terrorist offences.

But thanks for the update because other readers may not be so familiar and will learn something.

I have heard quotes that suggest it will be some two years before the whole affair is done and dusted. To me, that means that the police are struggling with real evidence.

Time will tell I guess.
