This should be good!

John Hogan is on trial in Greece for the premeditated murder of his son Liam, six, and the attempted murder of daughter Mia, then two, who survived when he leapt from the fourth-floor balcony at a holiday resort 18 months ago.

Today he will be invited to either give evidence or have a statement read by his lawyer to explain his version of events.

I am really looking forward to hearing this, as he claims “He did not try to kill his children” he seems very confident so I am certain he has engaged Massingbird the lawyer referred to in “Blackadder” to conduct his defence

I remember Massingbird's most famous case - the Case of the Bloody Knife. A man was found next to a murdered body. He had the knife in his hand, thirteen witnesses had seen him stab the victim and when the police arrived he said 'I'm glad I killed the bastard.' Massingbird not only got him off, he got him knighted in the New Year's Honours list, and the relatives of the victim had to pay to get the blood washed out of his jacket.
