@RodMorris3 @BBCDanielS Erm, because cases like this are always heard away from the area the crime took place in. Standard process.— Daniel Hamilton (@danielrhamilton) June 18, 2016
@RodMorris3 This is not a trial. This is a hearing, heard by the Chief/Deputy Chief Magistrate, to refer the case to the Crown Court.— Daniel Hamilton (@danielrhamilton) June 18, 2016
@RodMorris3 If you require an explanation of the role of the Chief/Deputy Magistrate in sensitive cases, see https://t.co/SYkAKqOV0P.— Daniel Hamilton (@danielrhamilton) June 18, 2016
@RodMorris3 See my previous tweet. This part of the case is, via due process, being heard by the CM. Crown portion may well be in Leeds.— Daniel Hamilton (@danielrhamilton) June 18, 2016
@RodMorris3 Erm, no, it isn't. It's normal judicial process that a high-profile/sensitive matter is heard in this manner.— Daniel Hamilton (@danielrhamilton) June 18, 2016
@ntfem Anti Terror police have taken over investigation & they charge all their suspects at Westminster because it has a secure court.— Fat (@Bloke_On_A_Bike) June 18, 2016
The prosecutor will be David Cawthorne. Keith Allen acting for Thomas Mair.— Daniel Sandford (@BBCDanielS) June 18, 2016
