  This week I've been on the jury in a historic child abuse case involving a football coach. We have to watch witnesses from a cinema so we are all socially distanced.
  I imagine there's some articles about it online already, but I haven't had a look yet.
  Thankfully not as horrific as I thought it would be, but still pretty grim.
