The "jurors kept in the same hotel as witnesses" could be an area the HCA wants to make a precedent on, the same reason leave to appeal was granted by the VCA. Even though it seemed unlikely that the way it played out could have resulted in a tainted jury (which is why the VCA rightly dismissed the appeal after granting leave), I could see a desire to set some boundaries to stop it happening again.

I forget the details of the mobile phone data evidence, but again, given the VCA decided to grant leave, it seems a potentially novel area of law that the HCA may want to set some rules around.

Those would be the only reason I could see the HCA taking the case.

I have heard unsubstantiated scuttlebutt that her community knew she was a bit funny.

If only they had been able to get her the help she needed beforehand.

The help society now needs is retribution and being made an example off.

The problem is, being made an example of is not the deterrent normies think it is. The publicity and exposure is what some sociopaths thrive on.
