Verdict out then?

Or am I movin in the wrong social circles?

Cannae wait for Oprah.

That's where I'd directly head mesel tbh     

Maury was tails.

Whilst the courts do have to look at the accusers and witnesses, the media usually focus on the accused. It's just that as Ms Lawson is famous, the focus seems to have been mainly on her (even in the court) It often looked as if she was on trial, not the two women! 

That's pretty much how I view it too. If this has been going on for a long time his accountants would have spotted it, so it's obvious that to do it now is just dig at Nigella by proxy.

The suspense is killing me....

Me neither. . I was like wtf!?!?  Not guilty of over half a million spent on themselves.. 

I wasn't fussed about the verdict. I still don't understand the juju that is accountancy, but I do agree with others here that the determining factor of bringing about a prosecution and trial of these ladies was so that Charles Saatchi could air his ex-wife's dirty linen. He could have gone another route like writing a tell-all memoir, but seeing as he had to employ a crack squad working on a shift basis to buy his last book, perhaps this was a much more cost-effective method.

And the whole saga has no doubt brought glee and rapture to those generous of spirit commentators that love to see things fall apart 

This case was never about the prosecution of the Grillo sisters, it was a means to throw mud at Nigella, and hope that enough stuck to ruin her.

I would be very surprised if Charles were not patting himself on the back at this moment in time.

I wouldn't be surprised either Yogi. In fact I can already see him at Scott's with a glass of wine and a fag (same table) with a big grin on face.

 With Trinny simpering and giggling at his side.

  minus the throttle 

Regardless of all Sacchi's underhand deeds he loses cos . . .

I'm TEAM NIGELLA

So I see.

Bon appetit, enjoy  

I think I'm more shocked that in the picture it looks like she's about to eat something 

Women eh?

No, that was for desert.

Saatchi's still a w@nker, and that's my verdict.

 I concur.

I conker too 

I hope she lets fly 

I cannae chop ma baws off.

in a strongly-worded statement, the author and broadcaster slammed the "ridiculous sideshow" of drug allegations and claimed there had been a "sustained background campaign to destroy my reputation".

Nigella Lawson told the court she had used cocaine in the past

She said her experience as a witness had been "deeply disturbing" and added: "Even more harrowing was seeing my children subjected to extreme allegations in court without any real protection or representation.

She would say that.

Few folk backed a loser.

It was a complete farce. Just a way to pillory her in public imo

velvet...  Nothing was mentioned of any drug abuse for months, even he said he had no evidence of her ever taking drugs, he believed this new evidence/excuse whichever side you're on. It backfired badly, public sympathy will go with Nigella, but I totally agree that the trial turned into a trial about her and not the defendants. 

This wasn't even an issue until the throat/hands incident, make what you will of it 

exactly Moonie 

Twelve strong and true.

Dunno why she ever went.

Twisted elbow don't wash.

strong and wrong...we'll agree to disagree 

If it had a dick you wouldnae be saying that.

It's a bandwagon fer womans rights on here.

When the fingers in the cookie jar 

wrong...night 

All assumed they knew her apart from Suz who is a close personal friend.

Gawd help em if you're on jury duty  

Oh I don't know Velvet, it seemed a bit of a rum do all round in that court if you ask me.  I certainly felt like Nigella was on trial more than any of them.

I'm not anti-men (quelle surprise! ) but I'm certainly anti-Saatchi and more so as each day passes  

Don't start.

I've never ever met her. I've met Charles and Maurice Saatchi though. Maurice was very pleasant. 

And up she pops like Christopher Biggins playin Cinderella.

I'm regional riff raff
