I've explained before that I think Sayers was shockingly bad about either lack of research into or blatant handwaving away of facts about legal procedure and etiquette (for example, in Strong Poison Miss Climpson blatantly breaks an oath, with no-one remarking on it at all) and one of the odd things about the first trial is that apparently no attempt is made to put forward a substantive argument about what Boyes could have done to get the arsenic into himself. It's all dependent upon them arguing that the Crown hasn't proved Harriet did it.
