The sentencing is certainly headline news on bbc 1 and BBC radio this morning. No mention of them filming it though.

I think Alesha’s gran and grandad just walked past me.

You’re there!

You’re there!

Yeah. I’ve seen Toni and Rab too.

 

[Yenriac]

Wow, a camera. Will it be on tv then? Anyone know what channel?

I don't think it'll be live on tv today.

 

[TaylorCallum]

Georgina just arrived.

 

[Edinlass]

I think they might use it later on - like on those programmes 24 hours in police custody. Maybe?

That's what i was thinking, for future documentary purposes.

 

[Edinlass]

Yeah. I’ve seen Toni and Rab too.

Great you took the time out to go TaylorCallum. Are you going to try and get in the court room?
I am through in Glasgow later today - couldn’t get through any earlier.

Only a thought. The thought gives me shudders tho.

 

[Yenriac]

Yeah. I’m going to try and get in the public gallery.

Good Stuff!!! Good luck!!

Great - keep us posted.

Still waiting. I think they’re briefing the family in a room.
