That seems to have ended the prosecutor's proposals for sentencing.

Defence lawyers are now responding to these proposals.

Necessary clarification:

https://twitter.com/xoriskanape/status/1315940084986904583

In their replies to the prosecutor's sentencing proposals, defence lawyers using a number of arguments.

For one (complicity in Fyssas murder), we hear that he works hard for a living, comes to court "in the same clothes" and that a custodial sentence will achieve nothing

On another complicit in Fyssas' murder: his partner is pregnant and has two children from a previous marriage, so he supports two families.

#GDTrial

Another defence lawyer emphasis his client's professional history, has sole care of two teenage children, has an otherwise clean record, and looks after his disabled mother.

What are next steps in trial? After defence has replied to sentencing proposals, the panel of judges will retire to consider sentencing. They may suspend some sentences, which will allow those defendants to appeal. Arrest warrants will be issued for all remaining defendants.

Sitting wraps up at 18:08 and will resume tomorrow at 12:00 for sentencing.

Thanks for following and apologies again for the confusion over the prosecutor's recommendations for sentencing (which was today) and actual sentencing (which is tomorrow).
