-

-Sion Smith.

-And his stepdad's in the dock.

-I'm starting work in the cafe.

-

-

-Do we know him or her?

-Not as far as I know.

-Karen. Long time no see.

-How are you?

-I take it you've met.

-Yes.

-I'm Gwyn Daniel, by the way.

-And nothing.

-Garmon Ellis should be here.

-We have to win now, understand?

-How do you feel today, Garmon?

-How do you feel today, Garmon?

-

-More nervous than I expected.

-I can't spend more time in jail

-for something I didn't do.

-Reliving events won't be easy,

-but we have a strong case.

-Remember that.

-Mark?

-Are you OK?

-It's my little boy's

-murder trial today.

-And you ask if I'm OK?!

-He was my son too.

-And it's your fault that he's dead.

-Your Honour, members of the jury.

-On December 1 2014...

-..the defendant, Garmon Ellis, head

-of a successful accountancy firm...

-..came home from a party

-with his wife, Anna Ellis.

-Sion Smith,

-Anna's eight-year-old son...

-..and Garmon's stepson,

-was asleep.

-Everything was fine

-when the babysitter was sent home.

-After she left, Garmon Ellis,

-who had been drinking...

-..and his wife, Anna Ellis,

-had an argument.

-A heated argument.

-The defendant attacked his wife.

-The prosecution

-will present evidence...

-..to prove that Garmon Ellis...

-..is guilty...

-..of attacking and murdering

-his stepson, Sion Smith.

-Your Honour, members of the jury.

-The defendant does not deny

-that a heated argument took place...

-..with his wife, Anna Ellis...

-..after the babysitter went home.

-But he does deny attacking her.

-He also denies attacking and

-murdering his stepson, Sion Smith.

-During the hearing,

-the defence will present evidence...

-..to prove that Garmon Ellis

-is not guilty...

-..of murdering his stepson,

-Sion Smith.

-Did your flirting

-cause the argument?

-I hadn't been flirting.

-But Garmon thought I had.

-Is your husband a jealous man?

-Yes.

-Did he make a scene at the party?

-No.

-He waited until we were home.

-I didn't think

-I'd done anything wrong.

-Non left.

-Non left.

-

-The babysitter.

-Yes.

-Once she left,

-and we were on our own...

-..he flipped.

-Does your husband have a temper?

-When Garmon's angry...

-..he loses it completely.

-I didn't want to be beaten up.

-Had your husband been violent

-towards you before that night?

-Please speak up

-for the court to hear.

-Yes, many times.

-I found out

-it's his birthday by chance.

-I'll get everyone together

-and surprise him.

-Does this Gwyn like surprises?

-Does this Gwyn like surprises?

-

-Everyone likes surprises.

-Men can be touchy about their age.

-Did he hit you when you argued

-about the flirting?

-No. I ran off to bed.

-He went to his study.

-Did you sleep?

-Did you sleep?

-

-Yes, until three.

-Then I heard glass breaking.

-Garmon wasn't in bed,

-so I went to look for him.

-What happened when he saw you?

-We started arguing again.

-I told him to be quiet

-in case he woke Sion.

-Were you afraid he'd attack you?

-Yes.

-But at the same time, I was livid.

-He went on and on about me flirting,

-saying I'd embarrassed him.

-I didn't flirt.

-I don't know what came over me.

-I just snapped.

-I told him I was leaving him.

-How did he react?

-He told me he wouldn't let me go.

-I said he couldn't stop me.

-I ran into Sion's room to wake him.

-What happened next, Mrs Ellis?

-I was hit from behind.

-Who hit you, Mrs Ellis?

-Take your time, Mrs Ellis.

-Him.

-Yes, you did!

-When I came round...

-..I was in hospital.

-They told me Sion was dead.

-No more questions, Your Honour.

-ERYL HUMS

-Ta-dah!

-Who else knew

-that Mr Ellis was beating you?

-No-one.

-You didn't tell anyone,

-for 18 months?

-I hid the bruises.

-I hid the bruises.

-

-Why, Mrs Ellis?

-Shame.

-I'd left Mark, Sion's father,

-for Garmon.

-I didn't want people to think...

-..I'd been daft enough

-to break up my marriage...

-..for a man who beat me.

-So you had an affair

-with Garmon Ellis?

-Yes.

-I was Garmon's secretary.

-Would you agree that people

-who have affairs are used to lying?

-Yes, probably.

-Would you say you're used to lying?

-Would you say you're used to lying?

-

-Objection, Your Honour.

-If someone can lie

-about one thing...

-..can't they lie

-about other things?

-Miss Mackay. The facts, please.

-According to Non, the babysitter...

-..and I quote, you were tipsy

-when you returned home.

-Is that fair?

-Is that fair?

-

-Probably.

-If you were tipsy...

-..is it possible that your memory

-of events is patchy?

-No. I've said what happened.

-Did you see Garmon Ellis hit you?

-Did you see Garmon Ellis hit you?

-

-No, but it was him.

-Did you see Mr Ellis attack Sion?

-Did you see Mr Ellis attack Sion?

-

-No, but that's what happened.

-You didn't see any of this.

-I'm telling the truth.

-I swear!

-Please! You have to believe me.

-My little boy is dead!

-I think we'll adjourn now.

-The court will rise.

-You've met Karen Mackay then.

-She's a proper high-flyer.

-She lives for her job.

-Hasn't she got a man?

-No time.

-Who's he then?

-No idea.

-Look at the way she looks at him.

-Maybe there's something going on.

-I doubt it.

-He's cute, mind.

-Don't walk away again.

-You didn't answer my question.

-How are you?

-I thought you were in London.

-I thought you were in London.

-

-I've just moved back.

-I'm with Solomon Chambers now.

-We'll probably see

-a lot more of each other.

-I'll wash my hands

-then we'll go back in.

-PHONE

-Hello.

-Iolo.

-No, you can't talk to your father.

-Important or not, you can't.

-He's already in court.

-Who was that?

-Who was that?

-

-No-one important. We should go.

-Anna always flirts after a drink.

-That's how we got together.

-If she could leave Mark,

-she could leave me too.

-To answer your question, yes,

-I was angry when we got home.

-Angry enough to beat her?

-I've never hit Anna.

-I've never hit Anna.

-

-Why does she say different?

-I don't know.

-I do know she's grieving.

-That does odd things to people.

-That does odd things to people.

-

-Meaning?

-She's desperate to blame someone

-for Sion's death.

-I'm the last person

-she saw before the attack.

-I can see

-how she's put two and two together.

-But I've never hit her,

-and I didn't kill Sion either.

-What did you do

-after you came home that night?

-I went to my study.

-I went to my study.

-

-Did you drink more?

-No. I listened to a CD.

-No. I listened to a CD.

-

-What happened next?

-Anna got up about three o'clock

-and came to the study.

-What happened

-when Mrs Ellis came in?

-I admit

-that we started arguing again.

-She said she was leaving me.

-How did you react?

-How did you react?

-

-I gave her time to cool down.

-I turned the CD down

-and heard voices downstairs.

-I assumed they were Anna and Sion.

-That our arguing had woken him.

-That our arguing had woken him.

-

-Did you go down to them?

-No.

-I heard a thud.

-That's when I went down.

-That's when I went down.

-

-What did you see?

-Well...

-..um...

-..Anna was lying on her side,

-not far from the front door.

-And Sion was...

-..sorry...

-..he wasn't far from her.

-He was lying too,

-but in an awkward position.

-There was blood

-on the side of his face.

-I saw a shadow going to the kitchen.

-I saw a shadow going to the kitchen.

-

-A shadow?

-A burglar.

-Our street has had a spate

-of break-ins since the summer.

-Anna must have disturbed him.

-Anna must have disturbed him.

-

-You think the burglar attacked her.

-Yes.

-Sion was thrown against the wall

-trying to defend his mother...

-..and broke his neck.

-Did you chase the burglar?

-Did you chase the burglar?

-

-No, I rushed to help Anna and Sion.

-She was unconscious

-and he was motionless.

-He wasn't breathing.

-Then what did you do?

-I panicked.

-I ran to the kitchen to phone 999.

-A window was broken.

-He must have come in that way.

-Members of the jury, we have

-a recording of the 999 call.

-Mr Evans?

-"Ambulance, now!

-"Someone's broken in

-and attacked my wife."

-Mr Ellis, did you report

-whether anything had been stolen?

-No.

-If a burglar did break in,

-as you claim...

-..why didn't the CCTV cameras

-record anyone running away?

-There are no cameras in the back.

-Very convenient.

-Very convenient.

-

-Objection, Your Honour.

-It's true.

-You're here to ask questions,

-Mr Lloyd.

-Your Honour.

-Nothing was reported stolen...

-..and there's no CCTV

-of anyone running away.

-Is it possible

-that you made up the burglar...

-..to hide the fact that you attacked

-Anna Ellis and Sion Smith?

-No.

-Did you break the window

-to make it look like a burglary?

-I'd never do that.

-I'd never do that.

-

-Were you covered in Sion's blood?

-Yes. I cradled him

-until the ambulance arrived.

-Would you say you're a violent man?

-Would you say you're a violent man?

-

-Not at all.

-Your wife says you've been

-beating her for 18 months.

-She needs to blame someone

-for what happened to Sion.

-I'd like you to study

-a notebook from Sion's room.

-Sion has drawn a picture.

-A picture of a person

-hitting a smaller person.

-Next to the picture,

-Sion has written, "Stop, Dad".

-Can you explain this?

-Can you explain this?

-

-That doesn't refer to me.

-Didn't you insist

-that Sion called you Dad?

-Mark's his real father.

-That's about him, not me.

-I never hit Sion!

-Silence in court.

-Silence in court.

-

-He's lying!

-Silence, or you'll have to leave.

-Carry on, Mr Lloyd.

-Carry on, Mr Lloyd.

-

-Mr Ellis.

-Did Sion call you Dad?

-Yes.

-And he trusted me 100%.

-To think that you can suspect me...

-To think that you can suspect me...

-

-Give it a rest!

-Silence!

-Any further questions, Mr Lloyd?

-Any further questions, Mr Lloyd?

-

-No, Your Honour.

-Hey!

-Who are you?

-What are you doing there?

-Are you hungry?

-Hey! What's that doing here?

-Dogs aren't allowed on the premises!

-He's not harming anyone.

-He's not harming anyone.

-

-Go!

-Llinos, where are you?

-I want to give Gwyn his cake.

-I want to give Gwyn his cake.

-

-I'm coming.

-Come on!

-Come on!

-

-Go!

-Come on, everyone!

-And you!

-It's someone's birthday.

-How did you find out?

-How did you find out?

-

-I have spies everywhere.

-Sorry, I forgot.

-Don't worry. I didn't want a fuss.

-Fuss is her middle name.

-Fuss is her middle name.

-

-Blow the candle out.

-Blow!

-Blow!

-

-Thirty-five!

-And still a rugby team captain.

-He looks older.

-He looks older.

-

-Charming.

-No offence.

-You do know I'd never hit Sion.

-How could you celebrate a birthday

-during a murder trial?

-And you are?

-And you are?

-

-Einir Pugh. Garmon Ellis's ex.

-Are you defending him?

-I want you to know

-you're defending a monster.

-Sorry?

-Sorry?

-

-He hit me too.

-But I was lucky.

-I escaped.

-Unlike that little boy.

-He didn't stand a chance

-against Garmon.

-Please don't let him get off.

-You don't believe me, do you?

-He broke my arm and two ribs.

-Look, Miss Pugh. If this is true,

-you should talk to the police.

-I can't do anything until you do.

-No way. And you won't get me

-in the stand.

-Garmon would kill me.

-I wanted to see you

-before you went back to the prison.

-Your ex came to see me.

-I've spent hours convincing the jury

-that you aren't a violent man.

-But she claims you beat her...

-..more than once.

-You broke her arm and two ribs.

-Einir Pugh is a lying bitch.

-Who mentioned Einir Pugh?
