quality journalism du jour

A gem from the Guardian

Yesterday, a jury at Winchester crown court took 33 hours to convict Heather Nicholson, 41, Kim Gerrah Selby, 20, Daniel Wadham, 21 and Gavin Medd-Hall, 45, of conspiracy to blackmail. One juror requested not to be in court when the verdicts were given for fear of reprisals.

So 33 hours yesterday eh?
