Sala’s defence claimed that jurors were seen listening to music, doodling or completing puzzle books, instead of focusing on deliberations.

In an hour-long hearing, three judges disagreed with the claim that that the jury should’ve been dismissed and rejected Sala’s appeal

[Jessica Elgot @jessicaelgot]

Welcome and much needed clarity here from the Met Police about exactly what this is and who we are dealing with and not indulging in the usual gaslighting

Exclusive: The mother of a woman who took her own life after alleging domestic abuse and rape says the defence tried to “assassinate” her daughter’s character.

@LearnVicki96953 Thank you, and you are right. We have given her a dementia cat soft toy that brings her great comfort.

Vascular dementia is cruel. My mum clings to me but doesn’t know I’m her daughter. She cries for her mum, but I can’t tell her she died 50 years ago. So many people in this situation, yet it’s such a lonely place to be.

@morgan_tracey Thank you Tracey xx

Day 33 of the trial.

Mr Justice Linden has now begun summing up the evidence.

This is expected to take two days before the jury retires to consider verdicts
