You all have the benefit here of watching, in real time, an experienced savvy judge close down slowly and methodically every avenue of escape for the US government.

This is an outstanding forensic exercise.

They are becoming cornered.

Keep watching.

This is what is known as "not a good day in court" for the US federal government lawyers.

The multidisciplinary panel – appointed by a judge and made up of lawyers, social workers and psychiatrists – presents a far more robust, safe and fair approach than the status quo, where scrutiny is applied too late or not at all. @sarahwootton.bsky.social

At Wadham, we're lucky to have a 13th Century Bible in our collections.

We're also fortunate that Prof Richard Gameson of Durham University gave time to record this video showing all the details and historical quirks found within it.
