One question, at the centre of this whole saga was the gay couple the various accused allegedly passed derogatory remarks to. Yet I got the impression they never gave evidence in the trial for either prosecution or defence? Or did I miss that bit?
The same thing crossed my mind. They sounded quite pivotal in terms of evidence, but certainly the media didn't give any details.
I didn't follow it that closely though, in fact my only contact with the case were reports on TMS during the last test, which I was quite surprised by in itself. In one sense the CCTV footage [how come that got into the public domain?] looked clear cut as regards violence, but the details of the case reported during the trial were really sketchy. In times of judgement, I often have to remind myself of something I frequently forget, that being - I wasn't there on the night.
