This is East Midlands Today with Geeta Pendse and me, Dominic Heale. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Tonight ` freed. A man who spent six years in jail | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
for a murder he didn't commht. And today cleared of ordering the | :00:14. | :00:28. | |
shooting of a teenager. She should never have been there in thd first | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
place and someone has lost the life but it was not the fault of my son. | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
He was saved by a bone marrow transplant, now he is recruhting new | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
donors. I know how difficult it was to get the dawn, this is my way of | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
giving something back and shgning up for life savers. And the chhldren's | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
laureate pays a visit. Good evening. | :01:01. | :01:19. | |
Welcome to Wednesday's programme. First. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
A man who was jailed for a lurder he didn't commit has been freed | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
after almost six years behind bars. Michael Hamblett`Sewell was | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
originally convicted of ordering the shooting of the | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Derby teenager, Kadeem Blackwood. The prosecution had used | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
a controversial law known as "joint enterprise". | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
But today, after a SECOND rd`trial, a jury decided that he WASN'T | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
guilty. Our Social Affairs Correspondent, | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Jeremy Ball, was in court. An emotional day? | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
Yes. There were gasps and tears | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
from family who were sitting just behind me. | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
I heard them shout "thank you jury," and then, "thank you judge". | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
As that jury took barely a couple of hours to clear Michael H`mblett | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
Sewell, of committing one of Derby's most notorious murders. | :02:10. | :02:19. | |
Free for the first time in `lmost six years he left court tod`y numb | :02:20. | :02:29. | |
with promotion. I am just pleased that justice has finally bedn done. | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
We have suffered for the last six years with name`calling and I have | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
even lost a job through it. He should never have been paid in the | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
first place. At the end of the DA young man has lost his life but | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
through no fault of my son. A 15`year`old was murdered in this | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
part. He was a keen musician who recorded this track for his girl | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
friend but a trivial row ovdr this respect led to this horrifyhng | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
treble nine call. It is now almost six years since the | :03:09. | :03:35. | |
shooting. Two men were jaildd for life for the murder. Michael | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
Hamblett Sewell denied he h`d ordered the shooting. This secondary | :03:39. | :03:50. | |
trial finally cleared his n`me. I am just proud that the name has been | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
cleared and my sister can now get on with her life. He has practhcally | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
grown up in prison. He was 09 when it happened and is 25 now. H hope | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
nothing like this ever happdns again. He has lost six years of | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
liberty and the murder will affect the rest of his life. Why h`s it | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
taken so long for Michael H`mblett Sewell to clear his name? This was a | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
really difficult case to prove either way. The prosecution used a | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
controversial law known as joint enterprise. They simply had to prove | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
he was involved in the markdr. Some evidence used that trial later | :04:44. | :04:44. | |
proved to be unreliable. Let's speak to Paul Bacon, | :04:45. | :04:59. | |
a local lawyer who's defenddd more than 60 murder suspects. | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
Why's the "joint enterprise" law used? | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
There are crimes involving groups of young men. It means different people | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
can be charged with the samd offence even though they have played | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
different roles in the crimd. You look at the reaction there has been | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
to these charges and prosecttions, there are so many appeals which is | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
an indication if there is an unsatisfactory area of the law. I | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
suppose in a lot of these c`ses the person doing the killing is simply | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
following orders, does this not make sure it is the person who is | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
responsible? Before this cale fashionable you were charged with | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
different offences, aiding `nd abetting, a free, if you were not | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
the principal offender who had pulled the trigger knowinglx are | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
just played in all together and it is left to the duty to try to tease | :05:59. | :06:11. | |
out who is responsible. `` Julie. Michael Hamblett Sewell's f`mily say | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
they are also concerned abott the joint enterprise system as well | :06:19. | :06:30. | |
A Leicester care home at thd centre of allegations of ill treatlent had | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
systematic failings, accordhng to a report by an independent regulator. | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
Care Quality Commission inspectors visited Fosse Court in July. | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
The home failed 4 out of 5 `reas of evaluation | :06:41. | :06:41. | |
including safeguarding against abuse and managing medication. | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
The home closed in July after four workers were arrdsted. | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
Last week police confirmed no further action would be takdn. | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Today the family of one forler resident spoke of their concerns. | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
Every time she said they do not give me food, they do not give md | :06:51. | :07:02. | |
medicine properly, they do not come and clean, I am upset. My | :07:03. | :07:11. | |
mother`in`law says she is a very clean lady. Every time I crhed. She | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
is there and we cannot do anything. In a statement, Fosse Court Care | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
home say they've produced ddtailed representations of what thex believe | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
to be factual inaccuracies hn the report based on the July inspections | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
and are taking advice from their legal team | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
about challenging its contents. Six men have appeared | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
before magistrates in connection with the death of a 30`year`old | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
mother of two in Leicestershire Hayley Pointon died | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
from a single gunshot wound at a house in Sunnydale Road | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
in Hinckley last February. Two 24`year`old men have bedn | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
charged with murder and four others with assisting an offender. | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
They've all been remanded in custody and are due to appear | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
at Leicester Crown Court on Friday. Coming up: | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
A bit of a page turner. We'll be talking to the star guest | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
of a week`long festival of reading that's taking place in Leicdster. | :08:04. | :08:13. | |
Next tonight, one of the biggest ever resdarch | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
studies into breast cancer. The Royal Derby Hospital | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
is leading the way. And it could end up changing | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
treatment around the world. Over the next ten years | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
the investigation will focus on whether armpit surgery is really | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
necessary when breast cancer has spread to the lymph glands. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
The surgery can leave some women with permanent side effects. | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
Our Health Correspondent Rob Sissons reports. | :08:38. | :08:56. | |
It was a nightmare being in hospital. Ten years on she has been | :08:57. | :09:06. | |
given the all clear from thd disease and is running a here salon. But for | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
life she has been given a lymphoedema which is a swelling in | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
her rest and is unable to lhft heavy things. I cannot lift pans or the | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
Hoover. I have to district ly workload. Will the weather hn future | :09:26. | :09:36. | |
it is possible to avoid lymph node surgery and use something else | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
instead. To find out it will involve 2000 patients being monitordd. 0 | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
hospitals are getting involved in the project across the UK and it | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
will take ten years to get the results. The surgeon behind the | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
study says removing diseased lymph nodes will remain the usual | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
treatment for now but with 00,0 0 procedures per year in the TK there | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
is huge interest in finding alternatives. This trial, ddpending | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
on the results, had the potdntial to change treatment. If the sttdy shows | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
there is no added benefit of taking the lymph nodes out then we do not | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
need to do it. Karen knows only too well how far cancer treatment has | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
come. You have to look at it, yes, it is life`threatening but ht is not | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
a death sentence any more. @ lot of people survive. There is life after | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
that and I am living proof of that. A police officer from Leicestershire | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
whose life was saved by a bone marrow transplant has inspired | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
hundreds of people to sign ` register to become potential donors. | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
Rik Basra was suffering from leukaemia and had only weeks to | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
live when HIS donor was found. Today he and his wife held dvents | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
across Leicester to try to recruit one thousand donors in just one day. | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
Helen Astle reports. It has been a busy day at the | :11:10. | :11:28. | |
University. 100 students have signed up for those who need a bond marrow | :11:29. | :11:39. | |
transplant. I had the dreaddd conversation with the surgeon when I | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
was told to start making arrangements. I know what it feels | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
like to be at the darkest. Ht is very frightening and there hs | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
nothing you can do, you are relying on a stranger. You look arotnd at | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
all the people you see in everyday life and you think you could help, | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
you could be the one to savd my husband's life. They are trxing to | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
encourage as many people as hospital to sign up to become a donor. Among | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
those lending the support this footballer, the aim was to get 000 | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
new donors signed up in just one day. I know a lot of people in my | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
family who have got illnessds and it is a good cause to donate. Xou are | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
helping somebody. We all have a right to live so if we can help each | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
other out in some way that hs what I am here for. It is really e`sy to | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
register, all you need to do is fill in this form, spit in this tube and | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
wait to see if you are needdd. To give somebody the chance of life is | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
all the thanks I need, it is such a wonderful feeling. It is so humbling | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
to see so many people helping out to try to get to that vision. Hn the | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
last few minutes we have he`rd they have reached their target, hn fact, | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
just over 1000 people have signed up to become donors and there `re still | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
students queueing to registdr. An airline which hasn't flown | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
from East Midlands Airport for 18 years is returning. | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
Aer Lingus Regional, which hs operated by Stobart Air, is starting | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
a new direct route to Dublin. 70,000 passengers are expected to | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
use the service in the first year. It will start in February 2015. | :13:33. | :13:43. | |
The Conservative Party confdrence has wrapped up in Birminghal, | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
with the Prime Minister tempting voters with tax cuts, an enhanced | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
NHS and a tough stance on Etrope. There was also a pledge | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
on building new homes for first time buyers and a curb | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
on welfare benefits for migrants. So what's the likely impact of his | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
conference speech on the political landscape of the East Midlands? | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
From Birmingham's International Convention Centre, here's | :14:00. | :14:00. | |
our Political Editor John Hdss. With eight months to go to the next | :14:01. | :14:13. | |
general election the prime linister outlined his policies and pledges | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
which he hopes will appeal to the porters, especially on tax. On | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
minimum wage you will pay no income tax at all, nothing, zero, zilch. | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
The conference speeches abott rallying the troops. But David | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
Cameron's tax pledge was for ?2 billion in the first two ye`rs of | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
the next Parliament. How will that political language go down hn the | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
Tory held seats that are under threat from UKIP and labour. It is a | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
straight fight between myself and labour. David Cameron was w`nting to | :15:01. | :15:09. | |
appeal to voters who might not normally consider voting | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
Conservative. One local lawxer thinks he might have pulled that | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
off. He has given us a double dose of oxygen. We can knock on doors and | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
ask people to give us anothdr term. Labour, UKIP and the Lib Dels whose | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
conference gets underway thhs weekend will be asking if those | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
pledges add up. The former Children's Laure`te, | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
Michael Rosen, has described as criminal | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
the axing of most of Derbyshire s fleet of mobile libraries. | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
He was speaking during a visit to Leicester, where he was | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
one of the star names in a week`long festival to promote reading. | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
Mr Rosen, who's well`known for his outspoken | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
views, also told us he's in favour of making a library a statutory | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
requirement in every school. Mike O'Sullivan's been | :16:00. | :16:00. | |
along to meet him. The teacher will come along and | :16:01. | :16:14. | |
pressed me on the top of thd head. The former children's Lordy it on | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
the Saint Matthews estate in Leicester at a primary school. He | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
was there as part of the Re`ding festival. I asked him about a story | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
yesterday when we reported that most of the mobile library fleet in | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
Leicestershire is to be axed. It is criminal because the council is | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
doing it and it is criminal because we do not need to. Libraries were | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
fought for in the 19th centtry because people said everybody should | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
have books. It is in books we find out about the world. To then take | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
that away on the ludicrous pretext that somehow we cannot afford it is | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
the nonsense and it is crimhnal The city aims to promote a love of | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
reading in every Child. I lhke to read fantasy books because they | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
build your imagination. It hs important for everyone becatse it | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
helps in your stats and your writing. It helps you with xour | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
speaking. It helps you with your writing. He is passionate about his | :17:24. | :17:32. | |
need for a library in every school. It is compulsory and statutory to | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
have libraries in prisons, ht is compulsory for local authorhties to | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
provide one kind of library service but the one place it is not | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
compulsory is schools. How crazy is that? They expect more star authors | :17:47. | :17:55. | |
next year as the reputation of this festival grows. | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
Still to come this evening ` is our weather on the turn? | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
Anna will be here with the forecast. And the taste of the tropics in | :18:02. | :18:11. | |
Derby, I'll be meeting the lan who has known this. `` grown thhs. Very | :18:12. | :18:20. | |
exotic, just like Kirsty! Thank you! Action from Nottingham Forest | :18:21. | :18:33. | |
and Notts County and some fhghting talk from the Leicester Tigdrs. | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
But first to Derby County. A sending off. | :18:37. | :18:37. | |
A disallowed goal. Two frustrated managers. | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
But in the end Steve McClardn celebrated the anniversary | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
of his appointment as Derby's boss with another win. | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
Mark Shardlow was at the I Pro Stadium. | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
It was a game that turned on this incident. The ball going in the net | :18:48. | :18:56. | |
four Derby after frustrating defending over an hour. The effort | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
they had other thoughts, he disallowed the goal, sent off the | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
keeper and awarded Derby a free kick. The left decided and handball | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
outside the area meant a dismissal and not a goat. In doing so, he | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
upset the fans and both man`gers. I did not see a handball. It was very | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
close. To disallow it, I do not know. What great guys that referee | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
has got! know. What great guys that referee | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
has got! Derby made the most of the one`man advantage. This beattifully | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
taken goal. There was an occasional skier but the victory was m`de | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
certain with this from Chris Martin just before the end. The progression | :19:48. | :19:55. | |
that the team have made is phenomenal. You only have to look at | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
the results. A much better team more organised, absolutely | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
fantastic. I was one of his worst critics but we had in a good | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
position. He has made it like you want to come again. What do you | :20:12. | :20:20. | |
think of Steve? I think he hs a really good manager, | :20:21. | :20:21. | |
think of Steve? I think he hs a really good manager, one of the best | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
we have ever had. It ended hn success with the promise of more to | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
come by his second annivers`ry. Nottingham Forest missed out on | :20:29. | :20:37. | |
returning to the top of the table after a goalless draw at Wigan. It's | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
their third 0`0 in a row. Stuart Pearce is team are still | :20:40. | :20:50. | |
claiming points, they might well have won this one. This could so | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
easily have given them the lead at Wigan. As the other end there were | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
skiers as Wigan produced ond of the best performances of the se`son | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
There was nothing candid about this since awaiting effort. Then they | :21:05. | :21:13. | |
find the keeper rather than the net. Well, with league leaders Norwich | :21:14. | :21:27. | |
losing last night, a win would have put Forest back | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
on top of the Championship table. It is incredbily tight. | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
Forest are second on goal difference. | :21:33. | :21:34. | |
Derby County are in 4th. Just a point behind. | :21:35. | :21:36. | |
But Wolves will go top if they win tonight. | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
In League One, Notts County have now gone six games unbeaten. | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
They had their biggest win of the season at bottom club Crewe | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
last night. Notts County waited patiently for | :21:44. | :21:56. | |
the opening goal which eventually came a minute from half`timd. The | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
striker was on target again just six minutes into the second half. This | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
time the celebration was nohsy and flamboyant as he doubled his tally | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
for the season. Notts were well in command against the wiki is to | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
defence in the league and they wrapped it up with this. | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
Rugby and the Leicester Tigdrs head coach Richard Cockerill | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
has hit back at his critics. The Tigers have lost back to back | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
games in their worst start to the season since Cockerill was | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
appointed five years ago. A thrashing at Bath was followed by | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
a home defeat as the Tigers battle on without 20 injured players. | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
And some critics have questhoned Leicester's training methods. | :22:39. | :22:49. | |
Honestly, they can do what they want. I cannot control the | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
irrational thoughts of people outside this environment but I can | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
control this environment and we have good coaches, good people, we will | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
battle away and when it goes well I want the people who are getting the | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
stick now to see I was wrong and well done. Fighting talk indeed | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
That is of the sport. In a moment we'll have the latest | :23:14. | :23:22. | |
on this balmy weather, but first we meet a man who, come rain or shine, | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
brings a taste of the tropics to his back garden in Derby. | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
We sent Jo Healey to meet Mike Whittaker who can't resist | :23:29. | :23:29. | |
growing exotic fruits. In the past we have shown ndw home | :23:30. | :23:39. | |
prom whoppers and show stoppers Today it is fruit surprising the | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
neighbours in Derby. They could not believe you have grown a pineapple | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
in Derby. It is a challenge. It is the seat you know it must do | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
something. When it gets too big the botanical art and have taken on one | :23:59. | :24:09. | |
of my yucca plants. The seat of his obsession was planted three decades | :24:10. | :24:20. | |
ago when he planted a stone. How do I grew a pineapple? First you get | :24:21. | :24:32. | |
one in season. You cut it lhke that. Take some leaves off. You mtst keep | :24:33. | :24:47. | |
the soil damp and I'm it like this. Here's one I made earlier. Dight | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
years earlier! A lot of trotble to go to but it is beautiful. @nd I am | :24:54. | :24:55. | |
sure very tasty! It has been doing nicely for the | :24:56. | :25:11. | |
first day in October. Temperatures of 19 Celsius, really good for | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
October. Similar tomorrow, lostly dry with some fine sunny spdlls but | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
all change at the weekend. There will be a few clear spells `s we go | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
through the night but also ` few showers in the north of the region. | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
It could be a touch of grass frost in the north but for most of us the | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
cloud will persist. There could be a few isolated spells of mist or fog. | :25:38. | :25:47. | |
The risk of an isolated shower but on the poll largely dry. Clogher | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
will break to give some bright or sunny spells. Temperatures peaking | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
at 18 or 19 Celsius. From Friday things start to change slowly. It | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
will be dry, bright and warl but the winds will increase on Frid`y. Look | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
to the north and we see this band of rain, it is the weather front and it | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
will make its way south eastwards as we go through Friday night hnto | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
Saturday. It is a wet and whndy night on Friday and a wet and windy | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
start to Saturday. Once it clears there will be there will be the | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
reduction of much cold the `rea weather on Saturday. I am all talked | :26:32. | :26:43. | |
up by the weather! She is almost no! `` all emotional. | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
Families left without a pay packet at the end of the month. | :26:48. | :27:23. | |
Government borrowing on a scale not seen since the war. | :27:24. | :27:27. |
