The Cockpit pub in the City of London, near St Paul’s Cathedral. In 1613, Shakespeare bought the gatehouse of the former Blackfriars monastery here for £140 to live in. The great hall was converted into an indoor theatre after a twelve year wait, because neighbours objected. #ShakespeareSunday 🗃️

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy.

Or in prison.

Although juries can be unpredictable, I believe we’ll hear a verdict today in the capital murder case against Sheldon “Tim” Herrington.

All told, this is the jury’s 10th day of work. They were chosen last Monday and have been sequestered since.
