For what happened today at the Old Bailey. Eye witness accounts from criminal barristers in Central London Criminal Court.
With thanks to our members who want understandably to remain anonymous. They are prosecuting and defending murder trials. Now delayed.
Full update 1/4. 130pm. ongoing evacuation from Central Criminal Court – Old Bailey . Remand Defendants still being loaded back into Serco vans back to prison. A huge sense of frustration among an overworked Criminal bar. 17 court rooms. 17 trials including murder. All abandoned https://t.co/K1Iex9wivD pic.twitter.com/zPXB12GHTq
