Just working through the #BawaGarba court transcripts of her testimony & cross examination now.
Yes, you read that right - I have transcripts.
Guess we'll just see how 'definitive' @deb_cohen et al's take on events really was?
Buckle up. Reality is about to put in an appearance.https://twitter.com/djnicholl/status/1055778977258856448 …

Because they're not mine to release. Just as John can't release them. It's up to Nicky

If you knew that Nicky is the only person with the right to put the transcripts into the public domain, why were you suggesting to John that he act unethically? Incitement like that puts your probity and credibility further into question.

My concern would be that it seems entirely possible to be in contempt of court if transcripts were to be released without thought. Reporting restrictions may require redaction. Journalists would know more about that than me though.

Unless there was a s4(2) contempt of court act order in place at the time (which would postpone not prohibit fair and accurate reporting) it’s unlikely the transcripts would be confidential to extent they reflect things said in open court. Possible but would be unusual.

It would in principle be open to anyone to request a transcript (but you’d have to pay for it). It should be made clear if there are confidentiality issues.

The big issue here I imagine would be legal argument not being heard in front of jury so you wouldn’t report on that while trial ongoing. To be clear not advising as haven’t seen these but those are the types of general issues that arise!
