0:00:09 > 0:00:10- Do we know him or her?- - Not as far as I know.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17- Karen. Long time no see.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Your Honour and members of the jury.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Garmon Ellis, - whom you see in the dock...
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- ..has lied throughout this trial.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- He says he isn't a violent man.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45- That's a lie.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- He beat his wife for 18 months - before Sion Smith was murdered.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- He says he isn't the man - in Sion's notebook.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54- That's a lie.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- He is the Dad pictured.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- On December 1 2014, - that Dad lost his temper.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- He attacked his wife - in a drunken rage...
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- ..and murdered his stepson, - Sion Smith...
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- ..by hitting him against a wall.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- He then invented a story about - a burglar committing these crimes...
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- ..to save his own skin.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- There were no CCTV pictures - of the burglar fleeing.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Nothing was stolen.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- The kitchen window was broken.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- But, members of the jury...
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- ..Garmon Ellis broke that window...
0:03:31 > 0:03:36- ..to pretend that this horrific - murder was a botched burglary.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- Sion Smith's blood and DNA were - all over him after the murder...
0:03:44 > 0:03:49- ..because he killed - this innocent, defenceless boy.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Please do not be deceived by him.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- The evidence proves...
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- ..that Garmon Ellis - murdered Sion Smith.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- Your Honour...
0:04:11 > 0:04:12- ..members of the jury.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- Garmon Ellis has told the truth - throughout this trial.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19- He isn't a violent man.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Nothing indicates this, - apart from his wife's word.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- A woman who admitted - that she's used to lying.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- There is no proof that Garmon Ellis - is the man in Sion's book either.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Sion Smith called two men Dad.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Members of the jury...
0:04:38 > 0:04:43- ..Garmon Ellis did not attack - his wife and murder his stepson...
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- ..in a rage on December 1 2014.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- A burglar was responsible...
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- ..in a burglary - that went tragically wrong.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- There had been a spate - of burglaries in Cim Street.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- There is no CCTV - of the burglar, true.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04- Garmon Ellis's fingerprints - were on the window.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- But that's understandable.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- You heard the 999 call - Garmon Ellis made on that night.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- He doesn't sound like a man - who faked a burglary...
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- ..knocked his wife unconscious - and murdered his stepson.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- Sion Smith's blood and DNA - were on Garmon Ellis.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Not because he murdered Sion...
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- ..but because he held the little boy - and cradled him.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39- I'm sorry.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42- Cradled him...
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- ..until the ambulance arrived.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Members of the jury...
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- ..Garmon Ellis isn't a liar...
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- ..or a bully...
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- ..or a murderer.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- He isn't guilty - of murdering Sion Smith.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- Thank you, Miss Mackay.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- We'll take a short break, - before resuming for the summing-up.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13- The court will rise.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Sorry, Gwyn.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- I didn't do a very good job of that.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- You're having doubts about him.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35- You're having doubts about him.- - Do you blame me?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- He knew that I meant Einir Pugh.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- He knew that I meant Einir Pugh.- - You can't prove he beat her.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- You only have suspicions.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- You can't be sure - that he lied to us about Sion.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47- No, but...
0:06:47 > 0:06:48- No, but...- - But nothing.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53- You always tell me that everyone - has the right to a fair trial.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- It's not your job to judge - Garmon Ellis. It's the jury's.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Another biscuit or coffee, Geraint?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- No. I'm finishing the summing-up.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- What was the matter with Karen?
0:07:16 > 0:07:17- What was the matter with Karen?- - What do you mean?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- She wasn't her usual self.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23- Maybe.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- Did you know that she and Iestyn - Lloyd were both in college in Aber?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- The jungle drums have been busy.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- The jungle drums have been busy.- - Were they friends, I wonder?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- PHONE
0:07:39 > 0:07:40- Hello.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- No, your father is busy.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44- Is it Iolo?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Has he called before?
0:07:48 > 0:07:49- I'm never too busy to talk to him.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- I'm never too busy to talk to him.- - You don't need stress now.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54- Iolo.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58- He's gone.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Never do that again, Norman.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Members of the jury.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- If you have been convinced that - the evidence presented in court...
0:08:20 > 0:08:25- ..proves beyond any doubt that - Garmon Ellis murdered his stepson...
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- ..as the prosecution claims...
0:08:28 > 0:08:33- ..you must find him guilty - of the murder of Sion Smith.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- On the other hand, - if you have any doubts...
0:08:37 > 0:08:43- ..that Garmon Ellis was responsible - for murdering Sion Smith...
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- ..you must find the defendant - not guilty.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- I've never been in a court.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52- Be thankful.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54- I know.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- Would you mind if I went - to have a look for ten minutes?

0:09:21 > 0:09:24- I thought you were - having an off day.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- It'll be one-nil to me - after that closing statement.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- The Karen Mackay I knew - wouldn't lose her train of thought.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- You don't know me, not any more.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- No need to be touchy.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38- Where do you live now?

0:10:26 > 0:10:27- Of course not.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34- What a charmer.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Don't take any notice.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- You won't starve while I'm here.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- I didn't mean it...
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- ..when I blamed you - for Sion's death.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- You know that, don't you?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- This nightmare will be over, - once they find him guilty.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- It'll never be over, Mark.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- We'll never get Sion back.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- I don't understand. - There's no point seeing Garmon now.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57- The jury's out.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58- The jury's out.- - I know that.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Why bother?
0:12:00 > 0:12:01- Why bother?- - I have to know.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- If he's been lying to me - all along...
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- You can't do anything about it.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- You should have done - a better job in court.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- I wanted to see if you were alright.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28- I suppose I owe you an apology, - for getting upset about Einir.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- I don't know what came over me.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33- This place.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- The stress, the situation.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- It does odd things to you.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Does it?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Or do you usually - turn on people, Garmon?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- I didn't turn on you.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- You lost your temper, like that.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52- Did I?
0:12:52 > 0:12:53- You have a temper.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- You've been hiding it - throughout the trial.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00- No.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Are you scared now, - like Sion was scared?
0:18:35 > 0:18:36- I'll find that file...
0:18:37 > 0:18:42- Mark, put that knife down. - You're making things worse.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- How?
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- My son's dead, and his killer - is getting off scot-free!
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- Put that phone down!
0:18:54 > 0:18:55- Mr Smith...
0:18:56 > 0:18:57- Shut it!
0:18:58 > 0:18:59- Mark, please.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- I know this is hard.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- You must respect - the court's decision.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- Would you?
0:19:07 > 0:19:12- Would you respect it, - if one of your kids was in a grave?
0:19:14 > 0:19:15- No.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- Say it!
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Mark, Mr Lloyd is right.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26- If you don't calm down, - you'll only besmirch Sion's memory.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Do you really want that?
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- All you have is the memory - of a boy who idolized his father.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- He adored you.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Don't do it. - You have too much to lose.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- I have nothing to lose.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- It's his fault!
0:19:49 > 0:19:50- Say what you did!
0:19:51 > 0:19:52- Do it! Go on, Mark!
0:19:52 > 0:19:53- Do it! Go on, Mark!- - Say it!
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- OK, OK!
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- I did it!
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Say it louder, - so that everyone can hear.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- Did you kill Sion?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- I didn't mean to!
0:20:14 > 0:20:15- I'm sorry!
0:20:16 > 0:20:17- Sorry!
0:20:19 > 0:20:20- Go on, Mark!
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- Mark, no! - You're letting him off like this!
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- That's much too easy.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- No!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- You'll never make it stick!
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- Are you alright?
0:20:48 > 0:20:49- Don't.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06- Another one?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Sure? After all, - you did win your case.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- I don't have much to celebrate.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Garmon Ellis is a free man.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- His confession is worthless.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20- His confession is worthless.- - Under duress, it is.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Mark Smith will go down - for what he did.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Where's the justice in that?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- He did threaten to kill someone.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- We can't just let him off.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32- No.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- But he has lost his son. - Isn't that punishment enough?
0:21:37 > 0:21:38- The law is the law.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- At times, it's totally unfair.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Another pint, Gwyn?
0:21:46 > 0:21:47- Yes. Thanks.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49- Lager.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Are you sure - you won't have another one?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- I've had quite enough today. Bye.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- Leaving already? - I thought we were having a drink.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07- I've had one.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08- I've had one.- - You don't have to go.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10- We've had a hell of a day.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- We've had a hell of a day.- - I've got things to do.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13- Like what?
0:22:13 > 0:22:14- Like what?- - None of your business.
