Joanna Cherry to represent Marion Miller

[WouldBeGood]

That’s the news!

I think she’s been charged by the police and bailed to appear in Glasgow sheriff court on a date in July.

If that’s correct, then at that point she’ll enter a plea and a date will be fixed for a trial.

Yes, but the SNP doesn’t have a majority

Great news.

And as for putting the cat amongst the pigeons at the SNP?

I suspect their pigeons are being trained to pick up loose change. To the tune of about 600 odd k.

@SheldonesqueWontTolerateFools isn’t it the cat amongst the magpies?

Excellent!

This is brilliant news. Does she get the chance to cross examine the complainants? Could sell tickets for that!

She will do, if it goes to trial

I would pay to see David Paisley cross examined by Joanna Cherry

This was my thinking too!

Omg yes!

This is such excellent news.

Now that would be a sight worth seeing!

Just best be a bit cautious on here

I don't usually agree with pay per view television.

I would be prepared to change my mind if a trial for this was pay per view.

And I would take my holidays round it.

Incredible news!

Me too!

As happy as we all are, I bet you it's nothing on the moment MM found out JC would represent her!!

Would someone mind giving a quick précis of what happened? I missed this I think.

Lots on other thread and Twitter.

Stupidly I had forgotten that Joanna cherry was a QC - so glad she has taken this case on

Over the moon about this. Wonder if the police will suddenly decide it’s not in the public interest after all.

Am tad star struck with JC in that she has shown what true warrior she is time and time again.

Brilliant news

I know this whole shitshow is tough for Marion, but I'll bet having JC in her corner takes a little bit of the weight off her.

Oh wow! Saw her on the parliament committee grilling the representatives from Facebook and Twitter. She's fabulous!

What a legend. Loved her statement.
