Am intrigued as to how they’re able to make up a jury when it’s the case of well known person. Of course it being random selection initially to get to court but in a non-famous case, you have to inform the Jury clerk if you know of the person on trial

Apparently they were all asked to disclose if they had watched the channel 4 doc about the allegations and told they aren’t allowed to google anything to do with the case.

This quote made me roll my eyes like a slot machine

“I was a fool before I lived in the light of the Lord,” Brand said in a video posted to X in April 2025. “I was a drug addict, a sex addict and an imbecile. But what I never was was a rapist.”

His barrister has clearly told him to cover up his cleavage instead of arriving looking like a deviant.

Never beating the sudden conversion to trad values and religion before allegations/trial

I really hope this leads to a conviction. I don’t hold out hope unfortunately because he has turned ‘Christian’ and has the backing of the American right wing Christian set. But I hope he does.
