Following the Yorgen Fenech trial can be complicated, to say the least, between dozens of witnesses, years of events, recordings, names and courtroom testimony.Now, an AI engineer based in Malta has built a website aimed at bringing all of that information together and explaining the proceedings in plain English.Called The Daphne Trial, the platform is designed as a public record of the ongoing trial concerning the assassination of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, with information drawn from published media reports.One of its key features is an interactive “Who Is Who” map, which aims to help readers understand how the numerous people and organisations mentioned throughout the case are connected.Rather than having to remember names scattered across years of reporting, users can explore relationships between individuals and see information such as who introduced whom, alleged payments and whether individuals have been charged.The website has also been designed to provide an hour-by-hour account of court sittings in simpler language, with individual entries linking readers directly back to the news report from which the information originated.When the same development has been reported by multiple newsrooms, the platform can mark it as “Confirmed”, while information coming from one outlet is labelled “Reported”.Beyond individual court sittings, the site brings together witness profiles, a timeline stretching back to Caruana Galizia’s assassination in 2017 and explainers intended to give readers the wider context surrounding the case.Importantly, the website does not claim to be conducting its own journalism. It describes itself as an independent public record, with AI-generated summaries based on reporting published by established news outlets.The site also carries a disclaimer warning that its AI-generated material may contain errors and should not be considered legal advice. It states that it is not affiliated with the Courts of Justice, the Caruana Galizia family or any of the media organisations it credits.Fenech is currently standing trial accused of complicity in Caruana Galizia’s murder and criminal association. He has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent unless and until found guilty.With the trial generating hours of testimony and extensive reporting every day, the platform’s creator hopes to give ordinary readers a simpler way of understanding who’s who and how each new development fits into the bigger picture.•
