| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Trial UK, Driven to Death. |
| 0:09.4 | I'm Caroline Cheatham. |
| 0:10.6 | And I'm Nick Fage. |
| 0:12.2 | We'll be back in a second. Today on the podcast, we've actually got something a little bit different. The pod's in sort of two halves. |
| 0:39.4 | We've obviously got the latest from court of the trial of Chris Tribus, and that's because the court had Friday and Monday off for the bank holidays. |
| 0:49.4 | They're back in today, Tuesday, and what's happening this week is we're coming to the end of the case, really. |
| 0:55.5 | The barristers will make their final arguments to the jury. |

| 1:53.5 | last week. All of the defence witnesses had been called, they'd given their evidence, |
| 1:58.7 | they'd been discharged. And then what we were expecting |
| 2:01.8 | to happen is the closing arguments of the barristers would begin. But it didn't happen. And that's |
| 2:08.1 | because one of the defence witnesses was recalled, recalled to give more evidence. And that |
| 2:15.0 | witness was Chris Tribus, the man on trial. And Nick, it's not totally |
| 2:20.3 | unheard of, but it's a bit unusual. That's right, yes. It's not unheard of Caroline, but it's not |
