Def closing speech ends. Judge tells jury they will start considering verdicts at 10am on Monday #AdamJohnson
If it's true, then Sunderland have put themselves, their position in the PL and the money that brings in, ahead of the welfare of a young female supporter.
Damning.

Def say #safc may regret that decision but jury shouldn't punish #AdamJohnson for it

Def say #safc may have allowed him to carry on playing last season as they were facing relegation and didn't want to lose 1 of best players

QC says #SAFC may have had "commercial considerations" & facing relegation did not want to lose one of their players"

QC: #AdamJohnson did not enter plea until 10 Feb in order to earn more money. Plain #SAFC knew what was going on
Wow.
His defence isn't exactly holding back yet at the moment. Obviously, the softer bit will come with regards to the other two charges which he is pleading not guilty to.

The video which started playing on the phone of Adam Johnson's sister & caused her to run from court was thought to be a make-up tutor

Miss Blackwell concludes speech by saying #AdamJohnson has sought to "confess & avoid". Sure he has not "pulled the wool" over jury's eyes.

Pros: #AdamJohnson delayed pleading guilty to avoid signing sex offenders register so he could carry on playing for #safc

QC: "Fact he was given the green light to continue playing for #SAFC was not green light to continue lying to the courts".

A member of #AdamJohnson's legal team has now been reprimanded by judge for his mobile phone going off & interrupting the prosecution speech
What a loaf of pointless guff - as usual. The gall if them believing that there is no crisis. Isn't that what happened with the Titanic? You get bet if we do go down - the club will move to blame one group..... Us supporters.
