Jeez, how long was the trial for? The one I was on the panel for was estimated to be about 6 weeks. There are 7 or 8 people accusing him, all boys aged 11-16 at the time and I think the incidents happened from the mid 1970's in to the 1980's. He was a teacher at an elite school in Sydney.
The other case I was on the panel for, I got 2 on that day, was where this guy allegedly had his younger cousin set his ex-girlfriend on fire but I couldn't do the case because I actually donated money to this fundraiser for her because she had burns to 45% of her body and needed a whole shit ton of plastic surgery, she was in hospital for 8 or 9 months IIRC. I think that would have been a really fucked case to be on.
