Brand seemed to age 1,000 years in three weeks. At the end he looked hollowed out, his wattage dimmed, his dandy highwayman swagger just a memory: JAN MOIR
Full story
A criminal trial was described as both the best and worst of its kind. It was primarily characterized as being very strange. The defendant appeared to age significantly over a period of three weeks. By the end of the process, he looked hollowed out. His energy seemed dimmed. His former swagger was described as nothing more than a memory.
It was the best of trials, it was the worst of trials, but above all it was the strangest of criminal trials.
