The presiding judge was Alfonso Giordano, flanked by two other judges who were 'alternates', should anything fatal happen to Giordano before the end of what was going to be lengthy trial.

Huntley's defence conceded that he disposed of the girls' bodies and that they were in his house when they died. However, he claimed that Holly Wells accidentally fell in the bath and drowned and that Jessica Chapman was then so distressed that he had to restrain her to stop her screaming, but accidentally did this so forcefully that she too died. This led him to plead guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter, but the jury rejected his story and found him guilty of the murder of both girls. Huntley was convicted on December 17, 2003 by two eleven-to-one majority jury verdicts, and on that day b ...

Hanratty initially put up a defence that he was in Liverpool on the day of the murder, but then, halfway through the trial changed his story, claiming in fact that he was in Rhyl in North Wales. This was odd, especially as his defence was initially very good. There was no forensics to connect Hanratty to the car or the murder scene. Although the blood group of the murderer was the same as Hanratty's, it was a common blood type and half the population had the same type. there was no evidence that Hanratty had ever been in the Maidenhead area ...

Novel - Traditions of Prose Fiction: The Ancient World. As Pierre Daniel Huet noted in 1670, the tradition of epic works went back as far as Virgil and Homer. The regular format was verse, suiting the purpose of tradition in a culture of oral performances. Today, we see this tradition as going back even further, to the epic of Gilgamesh. It is more difficult to speak of the influence of the shorter performances of regular storytelling on the medieval traditions which led to the ...

The story is sometimes comic – for example, near the start, Gregor's main concern is that, despite what has happened, he must nevertheless get to work on time. Gregor is unable to speak in his insect form, and never successfully communicates with his family at all after his physical appearance is revealed to them. However, he seems to retain his thinking faculties, which is unknown to his family. Curiously, his condition does not arouse a sense of surprise or incredulity in the eyes of his family, who merely despise it as an ...
