02:02David
02:03Do you want something?
02:21Worst thing I've ever been called is a slapper.
02:27I'd say you've got energy if I was you.
02:29Because every time you wash it off, I'm just going to do it again, shall I?
02:32Will you please?
02:33You could be so wrong.
02:34What's that?
02:35You won't be going to think, eh?
02:36When he finds out the truth.
02:38I mean, losing your temper in the moment, the madness.
02:42Maybe, maybe that's something he could understand, but...
02:45Lying in the court of law.
02:47Sending an innocent man to prison for something you did.
02:52He ain't going to forgive you for that.
02:54Trust me, make him smell guilt a mile off.
02:56I ain't done nothing wrong, Nan.
02:57Arthur, can you just take that in the front room, please?
02:59Lily!
03:00You're going to be late for school!
03:02It don't matter about these fancy pants lawyers, Stace.
03:07If you need time to think, pretend you can't hear them.
03:13Someone had a sandwich out here.
03:15Eh? What's that?
03:16Yeah, a bacon sandwich.
03:17I made it first thing.
03:18I left it right here.
03:19I can't hear what he's saying.
03:20Can you hear what he's saying?
03:21I was looking forward to that.
03:22See? Play dumb.
03:24They can do you for lying,
03:25but they can't do you for being stupid.
03:29Look, I'm not on trial, Nan, all right?
03:31I'm just giving a witness statement,
03:33because I saw Dean and Keanu arguing outside the bathroom.
03:36Yeah, good luck with that.
03:37You know, after what you've done there, Jade,
03:39I hope they throw away the key.
03:40Yeah.
03:43Why are you still doing it?
03:44Were you going to do it?
03:45No, no, no, no, no, no.
03:47Why are you still doing it?
03:48Will you go to school?
03:49The others are outside.
03:50Where were you earlier?
03:52I was sorting out the bath van
03:53and doing a million and one other things.
03:55Look, I've got to be at court in a minute.
03:57Of course you will.
03:58Stupid statements.
03:59What do you care about?
04:00What is your problem?
04:02It's Charlie's birthday party,
04:04and you're supposed to be helping her plan it.
04:08I'm the worst mum.
04:10No, you're not.
04:18Yeah.
04:34Hey.
04:35It's all right, darling.
04:37I'm here.
04:39You might be feeling a bit groggy for a while.
04:42What?
04:43You're in hospital.
04:46Do you remember?
04:47Peggy's.
04:48The crush.
04:51It's all right.
04:52You had us worried for a minute.
04:54But you're OK.
04:58My leg.
04:59It hurts.
05:01Look, you've broken your pelvis, darling.
05:03You're just...
05:05going to have to be in a wheelchair for a little bit.
05:07You know, but you're going to heal.
05:09You'll get back to normal, I promise you.
05:13She's awake.
05:15Mum.
05:18Mum?
05:19Hmm?
05:20Shouldn't you be in there with Jack?
05:22Why are you glued to that thing?
05:24Um, Dean's in court today.
05:26So?
05:27He used to be family, but he's a rapist and a murderer.
05:30Don't you think Amy's more important?
05:46I just wanted to wish you luck.
05:49Chin up, be strong.
05:50Hope you get away with murder.
05:54Sorry.
05:55Linda, it's bad.
05:56Mummy!
05:58Wow!
05:59Here's my boy.
06:01Oh, darling, don't you look smart.
06:05You are going to have the best first aid school ever.
06:09Mummy is so proud of you.
06:11Love you, darling.
06:13Love you.
06:14Come on, mate.
06:15Come and get your coat on, yeah?
06:17Here you go.
06:19Go on, boy.
06:22You're not worried, are you?
06:24He's just giving you a witness statement, that's all.
06:26Yeah, I know, I know.
06:28He's just the stuff on the door out there
06:30and Bernie's stirring things up.
06:32What if Abi comes to me one day
06:34and wants to know the truth?
06:36How do I lie to my little boy?
06:37No, no, no, don't say things like that.
06:39Listen, that ain't going to happen, all right?
06:41Dean is going down for this.
06:42You've just got to stick to your witness statement,
06:44that's all, the both of you.
06:46You're right.
06:47You're right.
06:48You OK?
06:50Yeah, I'm ready.
06:51I am.
06:52It's just now it's here, you know, the actual day.
06:55I'll be fine.
06:57Yeah, of course you will.
06:58Now, the strength you use to get sober, is it?
07:01The strength you're going to use to get through this, yeah?
07:04Ready!
07:05All right, mate, I'm coming.
07:06Listen, I've got to go and speak to the old bill, yeah?
07:09Give me an update on the investigation of Peggy's.
07:12And I'll see you in court, yeah?
07:17Have a lovely day, darling.
07:19Love you.
07:24He's right.
07:26We've got this.
07:28Yeah, I'm fine.
07:30Yeah, I'm fine.
07:48You all right?
07:50Well, no, not really.
07:52Wrong person's on trial, aren't they?
07:54Oh, well, I'm just here to tell him what I saw.
08:01We're so much stronger when we've got each other's backs.
08:05And Sharon's asked us to be in court today.
08:09How's it going to look if you all turn up?
08:11I mean, guiltier sin, if you ask me.
08:13No-one's got any reason to be suspicious.
08:15We're not even given evidence, aren't we?
08:17So we need to feel like we're doing something to help.
08:19No, no, no, it's too risky.
08:21And Sharon's going to be fine.
08:25I don't know.
08:27Sharon's going to be fine.
08:34She's worried about me, isn't she?
08:36Look, we can't afford any slip-ups, can we?
08:38Because if one of you crumbles, we all pay the price.
08:50Yeah?
08:51I'm at the hospital.
08:54What is it?
08:56Yeah.
08:57OK, I'll get there.
09:00How is she?
09:02Yeah, I keep telling her everything's going to be OK.
09:05But it's tough. I've seen the next get.
09:08Well, look, I brought that fresh bag of clothes for her.
09:11Thanks. Yeah.
09:13So what was the phone call to trial?
09:16It means a lot, you being here, what with everything that's going on.
09:20But I understand if you want to be at the court.
09:24Thanks.
09:26Bye.
09:37Oh, you've been discharged.
09:40Not without a ton of painkillers, but...
09:42How's Amy?
09:44Um, yeah, well, she's awake.
09:47I'm guessing Dad won't let me see her.
09:49Look, I know it's hard.
09:53Listen, we've all been there.
09:56Made a stupid mistake, lied about it because we were scared.
10:00Look, no-one will blame you for that, but come on, just, you know, be honest with him.
10:03I'm not lying. I'm not.
10:07Honestly, Denise, none of this is her fault.
10:13All rise.
10:24With your Honour's leave, I'd like to call my next witness.
10:27Yes, yes, get a move on.
10:29Miss Stacey Slater.
10:46I, Stacey Slater, do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare
10:51and affirm that evidence I shall give shall be the truth,
10:55the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
10:59I'm just asking for an update. I know there's others here.
11:02I'm sorry, I need to talk to a doctor.
11:04I just want to know if everyone's OK.
11:06If you were, sorry, you'd help.
11:11Are you asking about...?
11:13Peggy's, about the other people that were injured.
11:17Yeah. I'm worried.
11:20I'm worried.
11:32Yes, yes, I'm on my way.
11:34It was all a bit of a mess, really.
11:36The ambulance was on its way,
11:38and that's when Linda stepped outside to get a bit of fresh air
11:42and saw him dragging the body.
11:45If I may, Your Honour, that's hearsay evidence.
11:50If you could stick to what you saw.
11:54Allow me to clarify.
11:56You did see Linda Carter leave the pub that night?
11:59Yes.
12:00No further questions, Your Honour.
12:06This altercation you witnessed outside your place of business,
12:10Stacey's Babs,
12:13was there any physical violence?
12:16No.
12:17Did you hear any specific threats?
12:20Not exactly. Why?
12:22So it was an exchange where there was no physical contact
12:26and there were no specific threats.
12:30And this moment on 25th December
12:33where Ms Linda Carter supposedly left the pub to get some air...
12:38Not supposedly. She did.
12:40Then why didn't you mention that in your first statement to the police?
12:44Because you didn't mention it, did you?
12:46You changed your statement at a later date.
12:49Well, I didn't know it was relevant then, did I?
12:52So when did it become relevant?
12:55When Linda told me what she saw.
12:58So you changed your statement to back her up.
13:03I wasn't backing her up. I was just telling the truth.
13:06Hmm.
13:08One final question.
13:11On the day my client was arrested,
13:13the police found the murder weapon in his apartment.
13:17Did you visit his apartment on that day?
13:24Miss Slater?
13:29Sorry, I didn't hear what you said.
13:34Did you visit my client's apartment on the day he was arrested?
13:40I can't remember.
13:43I believe you went to say goodbye to his daughter.
13:47Do you remember visiting his apartment on any occasion?
13:53But I couldn't tell you.
13:56Couldn't tell me.
13:59Or won't tell me.
14:04Are you getting anywhere with this?
14:11No further questions, Your Honour.
14:13No further questions, Your Honour.
15:08Sharon Watts? Come through.
15:13Come through.
15:22I, Sharon Ann Watts,
15:24do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare
15:28and affirm the evidence I shall give
15:31shall be the truth, the whole truth
15:34and nothing but the truth.
15:37Sorry.
15:43How would you describe your relationship with the deceased?
15:52Miss Watts.
15:58Your relationship with the deceased.
16:00How would you describe it?
16:02He was the love of my life.
16:05Yeah, Mum. Let me.
16:11I, um, I spoke to a colleague at the court.
16:16Stacey Holloway, apparently.
16:19Look, I can be there today, Mum.
16:21If you need the support, Gina can watch the kids.
16:23No. No, I'll be fine, honestly.
16:26OK, well, just follow Stacey's lead.
16:29I'll be fine.
16:32Um, can they turn this around on me?
16:37Um, they are going to try and trip you up.
16:41OK, but just think of everything you've been through.
16:43And you're getting yourself sober as well.
16:46Mum and I are so with you on that journey.
16:49I'm so sorry.
16:51I'm so sorry.
16:53I'm sorry.
16:55I'm sorry.
16:57I'm sorry.
16:59You're going to get through that journey.
17:01I'm so proud of how strong you are being.
17:04Yeah, but I've had it easy compared to Sharon.
17:07I mean, part of her still love Keanu.
17:09Well, exactly, and she is on that stand right now fighting for her future.
17:12If she can do it...
17:15then so can you.
17:18I'll be here soon.
17:20Yeah.
17:24We were just having a drink,
17:26Dean said something along the lines of I didn't come here looking for trouble but
17:31now you've got some with me.
17:33And how did that make you feel?
17:35Well I was worried.
17:37So was Keanu, he couldn't sleep.
17:40Please, excuse me.
17:45He was um, very protective over me and our little boy.
17:51Although he wouldn't admit it, he was scared.
17:55This is a joke, you are to remain silent in my court.
17:59Sorry, would you mind expanding on that without the interruption?
18:09There was um, a look in his eye.
18:13He was unhinged.
18:16I just remember Keanu holding me that night and promising me that he'd keep us safe.
18:24I'm sorry, I just miss him so much.
18:28No further questions, Your Honour.
18:36The love of my life.
18:40Those were your words.
18:42Is that correct?
18:44Keanu Taylor, the deceased, was the love of my life.
18:48Yes.
18:51When did you last see the love of your life?
18:54A Christmas day.
18:57And that was also the day of your wedding, is that right?
19:00Yes.
19:02Nice wedding?
19:04Oh, sorry, it was a...
19:07Wedding never took place, I don't know.
19:10Why was that?
19:12We had an argument.
19:14So what was the argument about?
19:18He'd been lying to me.
19:21And would you describe the deceased as a liar?
19:24No.
19:25Yet, he lied to you.
19:28What about him?
19:29If I may, Your Honour.
19:31How is this relevant?
19:33According to Miss Watts, the deceased said he was scared of my client.
19:39I'm just trying to determine whether or not we can trust anything Keanu said,
19:46or anything Miss Watts says right now.
19:51I'll allow it.
19:54Miss Watts?
19:57What did he lie about?
20:10Come here.
20:21Oh, certainly looked afar.
20:24Oh, all right, sweetheart? Good first day back?
20:27No, I've got homework.
20:29Yeah, it's something about kings and queens, but I said you'd help him with it.
20:32Will you?
20:33Of course I will.
20:35I'm going to get to court, say my piece, and then I'm coming straight home to my best boy.
20:39I'm going to get him and Annie settled with Johnny.
20:42And then I'll follow on behind you, yeah?
20:44You OK?
20:46It's just a witness statement. How hard can it be?
20:48Ah, master spirit.
20:51Love you.
20:52Come on, darling.
20:54Let me get this straight.
21:05So as far as you knew, your son had been kidnapped.
21:10That must have been very distressing for you.
21:13And I believe that you borrowed a huge sum of money to pay the ransom, is that right?
21:18Yes.
21:20And for all that time when you thought he'd been kidnapped, where was your son?
21:27By all accounts, he was safe.
21:30Allegedly, the whole thing was a ruse to con you out of the money. Is that a fair summary?
21:37Yes.
21:38So, I'll ask you again, Miss Watts.
21:42Was Keanu Taylor a liar?
21:48Yes.
21:49What about you, Miss Watts?
21:52Are you lying to us? Are you a liar?
21:54No.
21:55You are not a liar.
21:56No, I'm not.
22:00Then who is the father of your son?
22:03I'm a good mother. I love my son.
22:07Yes, yes, I'm sure you do.
22:09I'm just looking for a name.
22:12I did a DNA test.
22:14I thought he was Keanu's.
22:16I never lied to him.
22:18Not at the start.
22:19When you were stood at the altar waiting to marry Keanu Taylor, did he think that he was the biological father of your son?
22:28Yes.
22:29So at that point, at the point of marrying him, you knew he wasn't?
22:34Yes.
22:35So, you lied to him. You are a liar.
22:40You lied back then and you are lying now.
22:43No.
22:44Yes, you are. You killed him.
22:46Silence, please.
22:47You killed him and you're trying to blame it on Dean.
22:49You will be quiet.
22:51I can't listen to this anymore.
22:53It was her.
22:57She murdered my brother.
23:03There will be no more outbursts.
23:07Those comments must not be allowed to affect your judgment.
23:11We are to try the defendant purely upon the evidence we hear from the witness box.
23:17Please continue.
23:19Despite admitting under oath you are a liar, you claim to have witnessed an altercation between the defendant and the deceased.
23:29I did.
23:30How well did they know each other?
23:32I'm not sure what you mean.
23:34They had a few crosswords.
23:38Why would my client kill your husband?
23:41If I may, she cannot answer for someone else.
23:44Apologies.
23:46He wasn't actually your husband though, was he?
23:49You called the wedding off.
23:51You found out the truth and a few hours later, Keanu Taylor was brutally murdered.
23:56Please, Your Honour.
23:57I love Keanu.
24:01I wouldn't kill him.
24:07Because she'd just get away with it, Felix.
24:10She's lying for her team.
24:13She's lying.
24:18Miss Sharon Watts walked into this courtroom.
24:21She swore an oath to tell the truth.
24:24And has proceeded to tell us one lie after another.
24:27Your Honour, please.
24:29These are representations that need to be in the absence of a jury.
24:34But she has a far greater motive to murder Keanu Taylor than my client.
24:39And has been telling barefaced lies to this jury.
24:42You need to watch your mouth.
24:44Excuse me, Miss Watts. That is not appropriate.
24:47He started it.
24:48Miss Watts.
24:49Making out I'm some sort of killer.
24:51You are to control yourself.
24:57You are a liar, Miss Watts.
25:00You told your fiancé he was the father of your baby.
25:02Whereas in actual fact, your ex-husband, Mr Grant Mitchell, is the father.
25:08Isn't he, Miss Watts?
25:10Grant? No.
25:12Sorry.
25:13Your ex-husband is not the father of your baby?
25:16No.
25:18Well, yeah, he is.
25:19Yes, Mr Grant Mitchell.
25:22Phil Mitchell.
25:24Yes, your ex-husband, Phil Mitchell, is the father of your baby.
25:29Um, can you just help me for a moment?
25:34Who is Grant Mitchell?
25:37His brother.
25:38So he's not your ex-husband?
25:41Yes, he was my ex-husband.
25:43But not the ex-adult.
25:44Ah, I see.
25:46You married brothers.
25:50Yes, yes, of course.
25:52Mr Grant Mitchell was your first husband.
25:54Phil Mitchell was your second husband.
25:56And the father of your child.
25:58No.
25:59It's not right, is it?
26:01He wasn't your second husband.
26:03What number husband was he?
26:05Your Honour, what is the relevance?
26:09It speaks to her character.
26:11I just need a number.
26:15Miss Watts, I believe you have had four husbands in total.
26:20Oh, my word.
26:22You could shut your mouth.
26:23Excuse me?
26:24Letting him go at me like this.
26:25Calm down or I will hold you in contempt of court.
26:28The man is waking out on some kind of tramp.
26:30Last warning.
26:32Shove your warning.
26:33That's it.
26:34I will not let that man slut shame me.
26:36You were warned.
26:38So I am holding you in contempt of court.
26:41Take her down.
26:44No, I'm sorry.
26:46Sorry.
26:47I said I'm sorry.
26:50I said I'm sorry.
26:51I let you go.
26:52I'm sorry.
27:07Please, stop it.
27:12This is ridiculous.
27:14I haven't done anything wrong.
27:16I'm not the criminal here.
27:19Please, stop it.
27:20Get off me.
27:21Sharon, what are you doing?
27:23Get your hands off her.
27:25The lawyer called to me.
27:27Don't let them do the same to you.
27:28Do you hear me?
27:29You stay strong.
27:30Because this is all on you now, Linda.
27:32It's all on you.
27:41I'm sorry.
27:44I can't.
27:46Linda, no.
27:48Linda.
27:49Linda!
28:17Linda!
28:18Linda!
28:19Linda!
28:20Linda!
28:21Linda!
28:22Linda!
28:23Linda!
