Hello there and I hope today finds you well. As some of you may have gathered, there is no live feed today :(
Through yesterday inquiries, I have discovered that any preliminary hearings will not be available to view by live stream. This, unfortunately, includes the hearings being held tomorrow. So sorry guys, it looks like you have a bit of reading to do if you want to keep up with this inquiry. As you will see, there is still plenty to be learned from these preliminaries and I will en devour to edit out as much possible, without affecting the narrative.
I will be posting the transcripts from tomorrows hearing, the following day.(Maybe by the afternoon, as it seems these prelims are relatively short, but I wouldn't hold your breath :)
As per, links will be at the bottom.
I have added a few reports to help build a better picture about Peter Ball.
Know thy enemy
Ding, ding. Round 1
IN THE BLUE CORNER
AND IN THE BLOOD-STAINED RED CORNER
IT LOOKS LIKE THE BLUE CORNER HAVE SET THE TONE, FOR THE FIGHT THEY WANT TO SEE. THIS COULD BE AN EPIC BATTLE. LET'S TAKE A LOOK OVER IN THE RED CORNER AND CHECK IF THEY ARE UP FOR A FAIR FIGHT...
Do we give them the benefit of the doubt? Or is this a blatant attempt to hinder the witness prosecution team, by drip feeding vital evidence to them?
Regardless, we must continue on
More benefit of the doubt? Really? So now we have to pray, that evidence and testimony make it through this redaction process. I wonder if they know that they have an extra special unit? One that follows up on any exceptional redaction's...
Cough, cough, Melanie Shaw....
DRIP...
DRIP...
DRIP
LET'S TRY A DIFFERENT TACT
Not the best of starts...
I suppose we just have to hope for the best then? So far it's been a one sided fight.
But what's this?!
It looks like the Blue Corner are staging a fight-back
A good body blow, but we will have to wait until later in the fight, to see if it has any effect...
**Half way through now and it seems neither opponent wants to give in...
Is the red corner employing the rope-a-dope...?
Will there be any more attempts to land a decisive blow, by the Blue corner...?
We know they have have all they need to win this fight, but could the red corner be attempting a battle of attrition? If so, can the Blue corner hold out?!**
Let's just hope we don't see Don King on the stand!!
Ha! Yes I can just see Lord Janner now...
"Welcome to the stand, Lord Janner and his Nurse, Johnny Cochran."
Ding. Ding. The final rounds

YES
YES
I'LL LET YOU ANSWER THAT ONE
THIS IS BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE A VISCOUS BATTLE...
AS PREDICTED, THE BLUE CORNER HAVE TAKEN A REAL BEATING.
WILL THEY BE ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A KNOCK-OUT BLOW??
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BRING THE BIG GUNS OUT...
WHAT A COME-BACK!! IT LOOKS LIKE THE REDS ARE FEELING THE PRESSURE...
OH NO...
WHAT'S THIS...?
IT LOOKS LIKE THE REF HAS STEPPED IN AND STOPPED THE FIGHT...
IT LOOKS LIKE BOTH TEAMS HAVE ENTERED THE RING NOW. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN FIND OUT WHATS GOING ON DOWN THERE**
YES IT'S OFFICIAL THE FIGHT HAS BEEN CALLED OFF. SORRY FOLKS, IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A REMATCH.
WAIT... THERE IS SOME COMMOTION GOING ON... OMG! IT LOOKS LIKE THE BLUE TEAM HAVE LAID A LATE BLOW, AFTER THE BELL. LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT THE REPLAY...
JUST A GLANCING GLANCING BLOW, BUT IT HAS LEFT A CUT. BOTH TEAMS HAVE CALMED DOWN NOW AND IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY'S FIGHT HAS COME TO AN END
