I report on twitter contemporaneously, and as accurately as I am able.

At times, especially on concluding days, it is simply impossible to catch anything but snippets of dialogue.

I always do my best to share as much with you as I can.

I am attending court remotely.

I was pleasantly surprised at how twitter held up yesterday, and hope to finish this inquest by live tweeting.

I am concerned about recent changes to twitter and its stability. If once I start I find it is not possible to tweet fully and accurately due to technical glitches then I'll stop and blog later

We're shortly going to be starting Day 3 of Chris Nota's Article 2 inquest which is being heard by Mr Sean Horstead at Essex Coroner's Court.

It's a hybrid hearing, with some witnesses attending remotely.

We're due to hear from two live witnesses today.

A reminder that this is contemporaneous reporting, it is not a transcript and should not be relied upon as such.

Reporting is as accurate as I can manage and I will flag when I am uncertain of spelling [?] or when substantial chunks of discussion are missed.
