0:00:02 > 0:00:05The brother tried to calm her, she lashed out with a broken bottle, he bled to death.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08I've secured her a place at a woman's refuge as of this morning.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Blimey, Marth. Never a good idea to sleep with a colleague.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12I need you to tell me everything.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14And for it always to be true.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15CW.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16Martha Costello.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17Are you looking to move?
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Well, I'm bloody lonely. I want a friend.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Prosecute, and you'll walk into silk.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Non-disclosure of evidence is as serious as it gets.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27See you in front of the Bar Standards Board.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29This is the end of your career, Reader.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Mr Doyle...
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Agreeing to drive the getaway car in an armed robbery
0:01:04 > 0:01:08when you had yet to master the intricacies of a manual gearbox
0:01:08 > 0:01:11marks the nadir of your criminal career to date.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13I sentence you to eight years' imprisonment.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39The prosecution's case hangs on two things -
0:02:39 > 0:02:42the Prisoner Escort Record form and the pathologist's report.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Do you know how many prisoners develop claustrophobia
0:02:45 > 0:02:46when it's time to get in the van?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48A fair few, I'm sure.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51He told them at the court he had panic attacks.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53But there was no doctor's note to back it up.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55And nothing on the form about a heart condition.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Because the arrhythmia was only diagnosed post-mortem.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Exactly. So there was no way I could've known about it.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Yeah, but you knew about the panic attacks. And when you heard Doyle was in distress...
0:03:05 > 0:03:06He didn't sound distressed.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10They have a witness, and she claims she heard him calling for help.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Yeah, well, quite frankly,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15that's bollocks, if you'll pardon my French.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18She couldn't have heard anything from outside that van.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23When you're dealing with an escape situation, you keep the van locked. It's basic common sense.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- And that's what they trained you to do?- That's right.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I did what I was supposed to. So to say I was negligent...
0:03:31 > 0:03:3530 years I was in the force, 20 of those as a custody sergeant.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37And not one blot on my copybook.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Now look at me.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Jake?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Inventory.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50What?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52For the insurance.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Right.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Ah! Mr Reader, sir.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Hope you don't mind, your room's temporarily out of bounds.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59What?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Miss Costello needed somewhere private for her con.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Corporate manslaughter against a private security company.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- It's a landmark case.- Only if they lose. Anyway, she's for the guard, not the company, isn't she?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Still, seeing as you'll be in interviews all day...
0:04:12 > 0:04:15What, Martha's not doing the pupillage interviews?
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Otherwise engaged, sir.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20But don't worry, she and Mr Cowdrey should find time to meet with the shortlist later.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Once you've sorted the wheat from the chaff, so to speak.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Seriously, Billy, if you've had anything else come in last minute..?
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Not a thing, sir. Anyway, you've got your Plea and Case Management coming up for Miss Duggan, haven't you?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Wouldn't want anything to clash with that, now, would we, sir?
0:04:36 > 0:04:37No.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Oh...- Steady.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Thanks.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Martha Costello?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Roland Elliott.- Oh!
0:05:11 > 0:05:12- You're for V&R.- Mmm.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14We seem to be under surveillance.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Maybe they're worried we'll hotwire the van.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Would you mind going inside and banging on the wall for me?
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Sure.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27You want me inside the cubicle?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Please. And could you shout as loud as you can?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- EXTREMELY FAINT:- Hello. Can you hear me? Hello?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Is it OK to come out now? - Yeah. Thanks.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Personally, I wouldn't want to spend 10 minutes in one of those.- Mmm.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Don't get caught, then.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07I feel my strengths particularly lie in the area of communication.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Would it be the driver of the car? Er, no, no, no...the, um... Er...
0:06:10 > 0:06:12the passenger who bought the alcohol.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I enjoy...talking to people...
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I find I'm able to... get my point of...
0:06:18 > 0:06:22er, view...across...pretty well.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Oh, no, maybe the pedestrian?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Er...
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Sorry, could you repeat the question?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30What one thing do I wish I'd invented?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Errrrrrrrrrm...
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Windows.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Er...penicillin?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Sorry. Actually, can I change my mind?
0:06:41 > 0:06:42The Kalashnikov.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59SOBBING
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Shit...
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Billy?
0:07:14 > 0:07:21Sorry, sir. I'll need to, erm...call you back with the, er...details.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23He got in a cab.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24East or west?
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Er...east.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Mr Cowdrey, sir.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Just to let you know that the papers have come in for the Watling case.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33If you need me to bike...
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Of course. Of course. Well, they'll be here when you're done.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39OK. Bye.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41What did he say?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Dentist.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44But he's not?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47You don't go east to get to Harley Street, Jake.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48You think it's her?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Oh, yeah, it's her.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Which means that this, right now, is the golden hour.- Right.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56A chat with a senior junior could be something or nothing.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59But a meeting with the head of chambers...
0:08:00 > 0:08:03That is a statement of intent.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06So...
0:08:07 > 0:08:08If...?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I'd say a favourable response would be extremely likely.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14No dissent amongst the lower orders?
0:08:14 > 0:08:19Big bad prosecutor coming to ruffle all those defence feathers?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21It's a good time to redress the balance.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Because I'd need to be sure of feeling the love in the clerks' room.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I've seen the alternative.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Missing briefs, diary conflicts...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Eventually, the work dries up.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I promise you, Caroline, you'll feel nothing but love.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Is that a personal guarantee, Alan?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43It's certainly a professional one.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45I can work with that.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48In which case, I'll arrange a meet with senior members.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Very discreetly, of course.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53You'll make your formal application.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Should be done and dusted by the quarterly exec meeting.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Till then?
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Mum's the word.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Marvellous.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Er... Leila George?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12It's just up here.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24So, Daniel, you were with the police for five years,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27and during the last two, you were also studying for your CPE?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28That's right.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Can't have been easy.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Well, no.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34But I... I joined the service straight out of university,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36um...went down the fast track route,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39and then discovered I was more interested in the law than...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41than career progression.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Once I realised that, I did what I had to to make it happen.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51You've got to be kidding.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Well, he's the most interesting of the bunch. He's got life experience. He's got self confidence.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59He's so earnest. And humourless. All that "I did what I had to do", it was just so...
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Well, I'm sorry if he didn't crack enough jokes for you, Clive,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05but I think focus and ambition are a little bit more important.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- What about the girl?- Leila? I thought she was excellent. - Oh, here we go.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- She's bright, articulate. Loads of relevant work experience.- What?
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- More relevant than five years in law enforcement?- You're not even having a pupil.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16I'm the one who has to live with who we choose.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20I rather think that makes the decision somewhat easier.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23CLIVE SIGHS
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Cheer up. It's only for six months.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Yeah, well, six months can feel like a really long time.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Spoken like the true king of commitment.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34How is George, by the way?
0:10:34 > 0:10:35- She's fine, thanks.- Mmm.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- In fact, she's better than fine. - Mmm?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Well, just wait till she hears your new pupil's an ex-copper.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Good morning.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Have you seen Alasdair McKinley in action before?
0:11:01 > 0:11:02No, I haven't.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Well, brace yourself.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10You will hear how this distressed young man shouted repeatedly for help.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Passers-by heard him.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15They even attempted to intervene,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18but it was only when it was too late,
0:11:18 > 0:11:22when an ominous silence had fallen and the victim was past help,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25that Michael Ward finally opened the door
0:11:25 > 0:11:29to find Richard Doyle dead in his cubicle.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34This was a breach of the most basic duty of care.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Michael Ward not only failed to come to his aid,
0:11:39 > 0:11:43he actively prevented anyone else from doing so.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Now, the defence are going to quote you statistics
0:11:46 > 0:11:48about the chances of resuscitation.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49They will try to cast doubt
0:11:49 > 0:11:52as to whether the paramedics could have saved Richard's life
0:11:52 > 0:11:54had they been called sooner.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58And they will tell you repeatedly that at all times,
0:11:58 > 0:12:03Ward was following V&R Security's established protocols.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05But the fact remains -
0:12:05 > 0:12:09at the point when Richard Doyle, scared and in pain,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11shouted for help,
0:12:11 > 0:12:17Michael Ward's actions deprived him of any chance of survival.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20And what is his excuse for those actions?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24He was only following orders.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Now, where have we heard that before?
0:12:29 > 0:12:30KNOCK AT DOOR
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Yes?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Mr Reader?
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- The clerks said that I... - Clive, not Mr Reader. You're a pupil, not a clerk.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Right.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41You need to be here by eight every morning.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I like my coffee white, one sugar.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48You do exactly as you're told, you watch, you listen, and you speak when spoken to. Got it?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Sure.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Right. I'll be out for a couple of hours. So, erm...
0:12:53 > 0:12:54I don't know...
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Sit there, and...think about how lucky you are to be here.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Long QT syndrome is one of the more common forms of cardiac arrhythmia.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21It's also the one most frequently linked
0:13:21 > 0:13:24with Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Could you explain how you diagnosed this condition, Professor Nyman?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31In the absence of an alternative cause of death,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34I applied a diagnostic score system
0:13:34 > 0:13:37whereby points are assigned for a variety of factors.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Such as?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42One example would be congenital deafness.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45In this case, the deceased had no hearing in his left ear.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Another factor would be the previous unexpected death of a family member.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Again, the deceased had an uncle
0:13:52 > 0:13:55who had died suddenly several years before.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59So Richard Doyle appeared to fit the profile?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Absolutely.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04So what conclusion did you reach about the cause of death?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I believe that the stress of being locked
0:14:09 > 0:14:12for an extended period of time in a cramped cubicle
0:14:12 > 0:14:15caused a fatal arrhythmic attack.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17That's what killed him.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Thank you, Professor Nyman.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Professor Nyman...
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Isn't it true that Richard Doyle was a binge-drinker
0:14:38 > 0:14:41who was receiving treatment for cirrhosis of the liver, yet he...
0:14:41 > 0:14:46He never told his Doctor about these so-called palpitations?
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Well, not so far as I'm aware.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51But he did mention them to the Prisoner Custody Officer.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55But, even so, I mean, how could Mr Ward have known
0:14:55 > 0:14:59that these were the signs of a potentially fatal condition?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03If he'd responded to the attack, it would have quickly become apparent.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Isn't an undiagnosed arrhythmia dangerous
0:15:08 > 0:15:10because it could kill you at any time?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12That's correct.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14So, if that's what killed him,
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Richard Doyle could just as easily have died at home in his bed,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20or watching the TV?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23In theory, it's possible.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26So you can't actually link
0:15:26 > 0:15:28the stress of being left in the back of the van
0:15:28 > 0:15:30with this alleged arrhythmic attack?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32On the contrary.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36The deceased had only complained of experiencing symptoms
0:15:36 > 0:15:38in situations he considered stressful.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40To suggest that it was a coincidence
0:15:40 > 0:15:43that he was locked in a cubicle the size of a coffin
0:15:43 > 0:15:45when he had a fatal attack is, frankly, preposterous.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47OK.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52So even if he did have an attack, and it was brought on by stress,
0:15:52 > 0:15:57can you categorically say that calling the ambulance 20 minutes earlier
0:15:57 > 0:15:59would have saved his life?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02No, I can't.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07But I can say that calling it after he'd died was definitely too late.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18I was about to cross at the lights,
0:16:18 > 0:16:22when these two blokes just popped up through the skylights,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24and legged it towards the flyover.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I mean, I couldn't believe it.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29And how did the officers in the van respond?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Well, they were just sat there like sacks of potatoes,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34and so I shouted, you know, "They're getting away,"
0:16:34 > 0:16:36and then they jumped out pretty smartish.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38What happened next?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Well, there was this banging coming from the back of the van,
0:16:41 > 0:16:47and I heard a man's voice saying, "Let me out, let me out, help me."
0:16:47 > 0:16:51And how did the defendant, Michael Ward, respond?
0:16:51 > 0:16:52He just stood there.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55And how long did this go on for?
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Well, at least five minutes.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02And then, suddenly, it was quiet.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03And then I knew.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I knew something wasn't right.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- Your Honour...- Just keep to the facts, please, Mrs Lloyd.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Were you standing on the pavement?
0:17:15 > 0:17:16That's right.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19And did you stay on the pavement?
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Well, yeah.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I mean, I'm not going to stand in the middle of a busy road, am I?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25So you were say, what, erm...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Ten feet away?
0:17:28 > 0:17:29About that.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32See, Mrs Lloyd,
0:17:32 > 0:17:36these vans have double-thickness panels in the walls.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40In fact, they're so soundproof that, well, as you told us,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Mr Ward and his colleague initially didn't hear the prisoners escaping.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47So how do you expect us to believe that you could hear
0:17:47 > 0:17:52exactly what Doyle was saying from that distance?
0:17:52 > 0:17:53I know what I heard.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I heard that boy dying.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58SOBBING
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Ahem...
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Mrs Lloyd,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I suggest, from that distance of ten feet,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08given the weather and the traffic,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11it would have been impossible to hear what someone was saying
0:18:11 > 0:18:14inside that van, no matter how loud they shouted.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Well, maybe I've got better hearing than most.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Ahem...
0:18:25 > 0:18:27She's lying. And you just let her.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28I know she is.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29I pushed as hard as I could,
0:18:29 > 0:18:33but I can't accuse a witness of perjury unless I can prove it.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34They believed every word.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37The most convincing witnesses are the ones who believe they're right.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42- Now, whether they are or not, that's not the point.- Then put me up there, and I'll tell 'em.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43He never called for help.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45He called me a this, that and the other,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48and told me to open the doors, but he never called for help.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50And he didn't "just suddenly go quiet".
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I banged on the side and told him to pipe down.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55The trouble is, we only have your word against hers.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- Do you think I'd have left that lad in there if I thought he was in trouble?- That's not what I'm saying.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Because rules or no rules, I'd have had him straight out and sod the guidelines.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Wouldn't be the first time.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08You've ignored the guidelines in the past?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I didn't say that.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Don't you start putting words in my mouth.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19I know how you lot work.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Mr Ward. I am not trying to trip you up.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23But they're making out that you followed the rulebooks,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25regardless of the consequences.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Yeah, cos I'd have lasted 20 years in a custody suite if that's how I did things.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30What about now?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34What matters is the company's standing by me
0:19:34 > 0:19:35because I stuck to their rules.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Which, in this case, is exactly what I did.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41But if there's a problem with the way V&R do things,
0:19:41 > 0:19:42then I need to know.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I never said there was a problem.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Mr Ward,
0:19:46 > 0:19:50I can't do my job if I don't have the full picture.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Your job is to represent me.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54And I've told you what I want.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Fatima...
0:20:17 > 0:20:19It's true.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23He's dead because of me.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I understand you feel responsible for what happened to your brother.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32But that doesn't make you guilty of murder.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42If you plead guilty at this stage,
0:20:42 > 0:20:43that'll be it.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47We won't even have a chance to give your side of the story.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I really need you to work with me here.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05She just needs time.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Which we don't have to give her.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Seriously, George.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10I don't know what else I can do.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13I know you believe in her, but if she won't give me anything else to go on...
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- She's just starting to trust you. You can't bail on her now. - No. God, of course not.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Because I'm really counting on you here.- I'm just frustrated, that's all.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22I'll think of something.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Good.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26See you later.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I reckon 25.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Nah, he's got to be older than that. I'd say at least 30.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Not bad looking, though.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42You reckon?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46LAUGHTER
0:21:46 > 0:21:47What's the occasion?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Drinks for our new pupil.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- Seriously?- Seemed the least we could do after you abandoned him.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I didn't abandon him.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Don't take it out on Daniel because you couldn't get your own way.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01It's just petty, and frankly, it makes you look like a tosser.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I had a con with a very scared, very devout Muslim client.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06She isn't comfortable being in the same room as me,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09let alone some bloke she's never even met before.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10- I didn't know.- No, well...
0:22:11 > 0:22:13How did it go?
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Terrible.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17George is convinced she's going to open up eventually,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19but I'm not so sure.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22You've got to find a way to make her feel safe.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24You want her to share stuff with you,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27you've got to share something with her first.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Like what?
0:22:28 > 0:22:29SHE SIGHS
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Well, I don't know, Clive.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33You must've had a dog that died, or...
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Or a nanny that got sacked for stealing the silver.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Do we still have to call him Sir even though he's just a pupil?
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Oh, yeah.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Yeah. Always. It's like this rule.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47And you're not supposed to talk to them anyway.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Not unless it's about work.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Or parking.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Right.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Well, it's a pretty big deal, isn't it?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Having a company in the dock for manslaughter?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Well, except the only person actually in the dock is my client.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Meanwhile, the company gets to hide behind 300 pages
0:23:05 > 0:23:06of employee guidelines.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Hmm. Sounds familiar.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10You ever read Code C of the Codes of Practice?
0:23:10 > 0:23:11- For custody officers?- Mmm.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Once or twice.- Mm-hmm.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Will you miss being a police officer?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19No.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Wasn't for me.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24I could see the appeal, being part of something bigger.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29Knowing the other guys have got your back. I think that's what ex-coppers miss the most. The support network.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31But no.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Thank you.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Your room has a lock, doesn't it?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Best not. Might end up with the pupil joining us.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53I'm game if you are.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54I'll get my bag.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Ready?
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Yeah.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50- CLERK:- All rise.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56There was a bit of a hold-up when we got to the van.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58But he was just asking how far it was,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01because he was worried about his mum getting there for visits.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05So did Richard Doyle seem reluctant to get in?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Not really. But the other blokes were getting wet, so there was a bit of pushing and shoving.
0:25:09 > 0:25:15- So he wasn't reluctant, but had to be pushed into the van?- No.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18The step gives way a bit, and it was slippery, so he sort of stumbled.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20And fell against the door.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22But he was fine when I locked him in.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24And during the escape,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26what state was Richard Doyle in then?
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I don't know.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29I was chasing the other guys.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Didn't even know if he was still in the van.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35And when you finally returned,
0:25:35 > 0:25:39having failed to recapture the escapees,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42what state was he in then?
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Er...
0:25:43 > 0:25:44He was dead.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46And at all times,
0:25:46 > 0:25:51you were following the guidelines laid down by V&R Security?
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Yes.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Thank you, Mr Wright.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Mr Wright...
0:26:03 > 0:26:06The employee's handbook states, does it not,
0:26:06 > 0:26:10that officers should err on the side of caution
0:26:10 > 0:26:12when dealing with vulnerable prisoners?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16By which they mean those with pre-existing
0:26:16 > 0:26:18physical or mental conditions.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Well, yeah.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21You don't want to get sued.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23And if a condition, such as a panic disorder,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26had been entered into the Prisoner Escort Record,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29then that prisoner should be regarded as vulnerable,
0:26:29 > 0:26:30is that right?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Well, yeah.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35So...
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Whilst it's accepted procedure during an escape attempt
0:26:39 > 0:26:41to secure any remaining prisoners in the vehicle,
0:26:41 > 0:26:46if a vulnerable prisoner should require assistance during that time,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48you'd understand those guidelines to mean
0:26:48 > 0:26:50that you should help that prisoner?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I guess you ought to check it out pretty quickly.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Which means,
0:26:54 > 0:26:59if your colleague had followed the company guidelines correctly,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02he'd have gone to Richard Doyle's assistance straight away?
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Er...
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Well...
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Yeah.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Thank you, Mr Wright.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- I thought we were standing together. - Well, we still have to fight our own corners.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29That wasn't fighting your own corner, that was cutting Michael Ward's throat.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30I'm sorry you see it that way.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Did you know he was going to say that?- No, I didn't.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- He basically said it was my fault. - I know...
0:27:41 > 0:27:45All that stuff about the guidelines nd vulnerable prisoners,
0:27:45 > 0:27:46it's just a load of rubbish.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Yeah, but it is in the guidelines?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Yeah, but you've seen that handbook, it's the size of a bloody house,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54you couldn't apply half of it even if you wanted to because we don't have the manpower.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Well, what do you do?- Use your common sense and experience.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59That's why they hire ex-coppers.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02They need people they can trust, and then they expect you to get on with it.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11They're sending over up-to-date copies of the handbook
0:28:11 > 0:28:13and all the training software.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15But if the bike's not here in the next half an hour,
0:28:15 > 0:28:16you need to chase it up.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- Yes, Miss.- And open the package as soon as it arrives.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22I want to be sure the discs they're sending are ones we can actually use.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Oh, Daniel, are you busy?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26He's doing an advice for me.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28- No, I'm almost done. - No, it's all right.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29Bethany.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33I need you to find every previous case involving V&R Security Ltd.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36That means inquests, civil prosecutions, the works.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- And if you don't know where to look, you need to ask John.- Yeah.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45Billy Lamb.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Yeah, yeah!
0:28:47 > 0:28:50You're not wrong there. It's a crying shame.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52I could barely watch the second half.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Listen, Harry, I've got some information I think we should share.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59And we are talking about the current transfer window?
0:28:59 > 0:29:00You are sure about that?
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Positive.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04She met the manager last Friday.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Still got to pass the medical.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Negotiations are advancing.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11You'll forgive me for saying this, Harry,
0:29:11 > 0:29:13but you don't seem entirely surprised.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Well, the old sixth sense had been twitching a bit.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Ha, I should say.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Your biggest player. Trying to sign for someone else.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Question is, what are you going to do about it?
0:29:29 > 0:29:33Sometimes it's best to let these things take their course.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52SHE EXHALES DEEPLY
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Go home, Miss.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55A girl's got to sleep.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59I'll sleep when I'm dead.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Oooh, quoting Warren Zevon? Things must be desperate.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03It's Bon Jovi, actually.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04- Ah.- But yeah.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07Yeah, they are a bit.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Anything I can do?
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Remind me never to trust a defence barrister.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21Goodnight, Miss.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49I need your permission to take a different approach.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50What do you mean?
0:30:50 > 0:30:54After what happened yesterday, it's not enough saying you just followed the rules,
0:30:54 > 0:30:56because the company are now saying that's not true.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- You mean that barrister is. He was the who's trying to... - No, no.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02He's only following their instructions.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06They can't do that.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08They said they'd stand by me.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- They said...- Whoa, whoa, whoa... What did they say?
0:31:13 > 0:31:16They said the prosecution would try to divide us,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18use my word against theirs to make us all look guilty.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22So the best thing we could do was stand together.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26If I started making waves, it'd just look like I was blaming them.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Well, that's why you've got me.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30I like making waves.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33And, trust me,
0:31:33 > 0:31:36they don't deserve your loyalty.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40Mr Purdey.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43You're Head of Operations for V&R Security,
0:31:43 > 0:31:46with responsibility for the recruitment and training
0:31:46 > 0:31:48of all employees, are you not?
0:31:48 > 0:31:49I am.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52We want to ensure that our staff have the skills
0:31:52 > 0:31:54to deal with every eventuality.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57And you personally oversaw the compilation of the handbook
0:31:57 > 0:32:00which outlines the protocols they're expected to follow?
0:32:00 > 0:32:01I did.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04We tried to ensure that the guidelines
0:32:04 > 0:32:07were as clear and comprehensive as possible,
0:32:07 > 0:32:11in order to limit the margin for human error.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12Your Honour...
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Could the jury please disregard Mr Purdey's reference to human error?
0:32:16 > 0:32:19That has not yet been established.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Point taken, Miss Costello.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27Ahem...
0:32:30 > 0:32:32SHE SIGHS
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Mr Purdey, I've been reading your employee handbook,
0:32:34 > 0:32:38and I wondered if you could help me with something?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41I'll certainly try.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42It says here...
0:32:42 > 0:32:43When I find it...
0:32:48 > 0:32:52"If a prisoner requests medical assistance prior to transportation,
0:32:52 > 0:32:54"the officer in charge should:
0:32:54 > 0:32:57"A - arrange for the prisoner to be seen by a doctor immediately,
0:32:57 > 0:33:01"B - inform the prison to have medical assistance standing by,
0:33:01 > 0:33:05"or C - alert the prisoner escort officers to the request,
0:33:05 > 0:33:11"and take no further action, depending on the seriousness of the prisoner's condition."
0:33:11 > 0:33:12Right.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16So how does the officer decide how serious the prisoner's condition is?
0:33:16 > 0:33:20Well, as you'll see, there are a number of determining factors.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Let's say a headache for example?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Well, there are headaches and headaches.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27Say a...
0:33:27 > 0:33:31A bad headache, but the prisoner can still walk and talk.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34I would probably inform the prison
0:33:34 > 0:33:37that they may need medical attention on arrival.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38Right.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Which is what your officer did in July, 2009,
0:33:42 > 0:33:46when Lucas Freeman complained of a headache
0:33:46 > 0:33:49prior to a seven-hour journey in the back of one of your vans.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52And that headache turned out to be meningitis, didn't it?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55That...that was a very particular case.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58And that officer who had followed your guidelines
0:33:58 > 0:34:02and reached the same conclusion that you just did then...
0:34:02 > 0:34:04He was sacked for negligence.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06So the guidelines didn't work,
0:34:06 > 0:34:09and your employee took the blame.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11And as a result of that inquest,
0:34:11 > 0:34:14weren't you ordered to make improvements
0:34:14 > 0:34:16to your employee training procedures?
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Which we did. We complied with all the coroner's rulings.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23The coroner also said you should have three officers per van,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25didn't he?
0:34:25 > 0:34:27So that one could travel in the back.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32We are in the process of increasing our staffing levels.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Right.
0:34:33 > 0:34:41Yet, here in the latest edition of your handbook, it says...
0:34:41 > 0:34:46"One officer must monitor the prisoners inside the van,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49"whilst one officer secures the exterior,
0:34:49 > 0:34:52"and another liaises with the emergency services."
0:34:52 > 0:34:55So that's, what? Oh, three in total.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56Well, as I say, we are aiming...
0:34:56 > 0:34:58But in the meantime,
0:34:58 > 0:35:03how can two officers be expected to follow your protocols
0:35:03 > 0:35:04when they're a man short?
0:35:04 > 0:35:08The fact is, if there'd been a third officer in the back of that van,
0:35:08 > 0:35:11that third officer that you should have hired...
0:35:12 > 0:35:15..Richard Doyle would still be alive today.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Um...
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Making us look bad won't make your client look any less negligent.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30I have to say that was extremely short-sighted.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I'm sorry you see it that way.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37He's still the one who heard a dying man's cries and did nothing.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39The jury won't forget that.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42Ahem...
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- So what do you think? It went well, right?- Well, to a point.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47There's still the issue of negligence.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52What? So I've burned my bridges with V&R, and now you're telling me I'm no better off than I was before?
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Look, talk me through what you heard when Doyle was inside the van.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56I told you what I heard.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00You mean did he shout, "Argh, my chest hurts?, I think I'm dying"?
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Er...
0:36:04 > 0:36:08What if I'd opened that door ten minutes earlier? Or even five?
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Would it have made a difference?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Well, would it?
0:36:17 > 0:36:18I very much doubt it.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22But you can't say for sure, can you?
0:36:22 > 0:36:24No-one can.
0:36:31 > 0:36:32DOOR OPENS
0:36:32 > 0:36:33Billy?
0:36:37 > 0:36:41You realise this is it now, Sir? You and George. You're in it for life.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42It's a little melodramatic.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Not at all.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48Because if anything goes wrong, it's not just you that loses work.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51You think poor, heartbroken Miss Duggan
0:36:51 > 0:36:53is going to instruct anyone else in chambers
0:36:53 > 0:36:55when she might run the risk of bumping into you?
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- George isn't like that. Sex and work. They're two separate things. - Well, I hope you're right, Sir.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Because mess this up and it gets back to Alan,
0:37:02 > 0:37:05well, you won't be forgiven a second time.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Something you might want to think about.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- Clive!- Sorry, I got held up.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21She's been waiting 20 minutes. The hearing's tomorrow.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22Well, I'm here now.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25HE SIGHS
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Oh, thank you so much.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Completely parched.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32HE SIGHS
0:37:43 > 0:37:44HE SIGHS
0:37:49 > 0:37:50HE SIGHS
0:38:02 > 0:38:04You know, when I was quite young...
0:38:06 > 0:38:08..I was about six or seven...
0:38:09 > 0:38:11..I was sent away to school.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15I was really excited,
0:38:15 > 0:38:17I thought it was going to be this great adventure,
0:38:17 > 0:38:19but for some reason, when I got there,
0:38:19 > 0:38:21I discovered that my face just didn't fit.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29There was a group of boys in my year, and...
0:38:29 > 0:38:30Well...
0:38:30 > 0:38:32They decided they didn't like me, and that was that.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37It was your basic nasty bullying.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42It was cruel, and sometimes it was...
0:38:42 > 0:38:44It was actually quite violent.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49But while I hated them and I hated what they were doing to me...
0:38:51 > 0:38:53..a part of me felt guilty.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58It was as if they could see something in me that...
0:38:58 > 0:38:59deserved to be punished.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06And the worst part was that I ended up feeling like they might be right.
0:39:11 > 0:39:12Six years old.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Those boys made me feel so ashamed,
0:39:18 > 0:39:21that it never even occurred to me to ask for help.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Because you can still feel guilt,
0:39:26 > 0:39:29terrible, overwhelming guilt,
0:39:29 > 0:39:31even when something isn't your fault.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38But it doesn't mean you deserve to be punished.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Hey, Marth.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50Took your advice.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51What advice?
0:39:51 > 0:39:55About the whole "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" thing.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56Nice.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Yeah, it worked.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58Good.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00It was completely knackering.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- Do you do that every time? - Pretty much.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07I don't know how you manage it.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Listen, do you want to go for a drink?
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Can't. I've got a con.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Anyway, I thought you'd have plans?
0:40:15 > 0:40:16No. Not tonight.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Oh, why? Has she finally seen through you?
0:40:21 > 0:40:23No.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Erm.. listen, I was wondering if we could talk...
0:40:28 > 0:40:30The Old Street Lounge and Bar, know it?
0:40:30 > 0:40:31No. Can't say I do.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Good. Can you both be there at 8:30 on Friday?
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Sure.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40Excellent.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47That's very cryptic.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48Anyway, listen...
0:40:48 > 0:40:50- PHONE RINGS - Sorry, sorry...
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Sorry. Liam. Hiya.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Yeah. Yeah, thanks for doing this.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02You can still come here? Great. Yeah.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05I'll scrounge together some chambers booze.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07SHE LAUGHS
0:41:07 > 0:41:08You'll be lucky!
0:41:08 > 0:41:10We're not 18 any more, you know.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Yeah. See you then.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14'Prof Nyman, I've heard of,'
0:41:14 > 0:41:18but where did you find this second pathologist? Dr Miles Radcliffe?
0:41:18 > 0:41:19Oh, we didn't.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23The coroner ordered a second independent postmortem before he released the body,
0:41:23 > 0:41:26and then by the time CPS brought charges,
0:41:26 > 0:41:27it was too late to do another.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30And no-one called him as a witness?
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Well, there didn't seem much point. He basically agreed with Nyman.
0:41:35 > 0:41:36Why?
0:41:37 > 0:41:39It just seems a bit odd.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40Two separate pathologists,
0:41:40 > 0:41:44both so eager to go with a diagnosis of Long QT syndrome.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45Is it that unusual?
0:41:45 > 0:41:48It's fairly unusual. But it's more that the original report
0:41:48 > 0:41:53mentioned blood in the abdomen and bruising around the liver.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57So I can't understand why they were so quick to rule out an abdominal bleed as cause of death.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Nyman put it down to later injuries caused by CPR.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- He said he couldn't find another source.- I know.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Which makes me wonder how hard he looked.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Because you'd struggle to get a bruise in that location from CPR.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Well, what else could've caused it?
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Maybe a blow or a fall.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15A fall?
0:42:17 > 0:42:19This guy had pretty acute cirrhosis.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22His clotting factors would've been massively reduced.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24It wouldn't take much to cause a serious bleed.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27OK, so, say they're wrong,
0:42:27 > 0:42:30and say Doyle did die from internal bleeding -
0:42:30 > 0:42:33would he have been shouting out, saying he was in pain?
0:42:33 > 0:42:37It's more likely he would have got gradually quieter and weaker
0:42:37 > 0:42:39till he lost consciousness.
0:42:41 > 0:42:42I hope that helps.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Definitely.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49Here, we'd better finish this and then I can hide the evidence.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52OK. But I haven't got long.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54I promised I'd get back for bathtime.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55THEY CHUCKLE
0:43:00 > 0:43:01You busy?
0:43:02 > 0:43:03No.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07Get hold of as much background information as you can on Dr Miles Radcliffe.
0:43:07 > 0:43:08Home Office pathologist.
0:43:08 > 0:43:13Oh, and look into Professor Stephen Nyman while you're at it.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Am I looking for something specific?
0:43:15 > 0:43:16I don't know yet.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19But I've got a nagging feeling that I've missed something.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21So...just start looking and see what you find.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Yes, ma'am.
0:43:25 > 0:43:26Sorry, force of habit.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30Yeah, well, don't - it makes me feel like the Queen!
0:43:36 > 0:43:38How's our girl?
0:43:38 > 0:43:41Thriving. She's got a landmark case on at the moment.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43- Defending?- Course!
0:43:45 > 0:43:49What about Lady Macbeth? Find her friend, did you?
0:43:49 > 0:43:52Oh, yeah. That's handled.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Funny thing is, Harry Loughton says she won't be missed.
0:43:55 > 0:43:59A silk, one of his biggest earners, he's happy to wave goodbye?
0:43:59 > 0:44:02Seems there's...issues.
0:44:02 > 0:44:06Woman like that, it's usually drink or depression.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08Or she's shagged too many married tenants.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11- Could be. - Hang on. Nearly forgot.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15Aren't you going to count it?
0:44:15 > 0:44:16Well, if you can't trust a solicitor...
0:44:16 > 0:44:18THEY CHUCKLE
0:44:19 > 0:44:21There she is.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24Billy. Congenital means "from birth", doesn't it?
0:44:24 > 0:44:26- I think so. Time for a quick chat, Miss?- Not really.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28It's important.
0:44:30 > 0:44:31Five minutes.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Alan wants us to diversify,
0:44:37 > 0:44:39which means bringing in more prosecution work.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41- And more prosecutors?- Yes.
0:44:41 > 0:44:45I'm not asking you to confirm or deny this, but I'm just saying.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47If we were looking for prosecutors,
0:44:47 > 0:44:50Caroline Warwick may not be the way to go.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52- Why not?- There's been issues at her current chambers.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54What issues?
0:44:54 > 0:44:57- They've kept it quiet, but I've heard a rumour...- Oh, let me guess,
0:44:57 > 0:44:59is it booze? Or maybe a nervous breakdown?
0:44:59 > 0:45:03- Before you jump down... - Common knowledge, isn't it? All female barristers either drink,
0:45:03 > 0:45:05shag around or lose cases when they're premenstrual.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08I disagree, I know at least two that are teetotal and celibate.
0:45:08 > 0:45:12- But the rest of us are workaholic spinsters who don't play well with others.- Hear me out...
0:45:12 > 0:45:16No, actually I won't. You know what, Billy? To be honest, I expected better.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25You know, it's weird, private fees are way down this quarter.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28Yeah, well, it's the nature of the business, John.
0:45:28 > 0:45:29Everything goes in cycles.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32One minute you're in favour, next minute you're not.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35It's good to remember that.
0:45:37 > 0:45:38Thanks.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42The Home Office gave me the runaround.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45But I finally got through to a woman in hospital administration
0:45:45 > 0:45:49and after a bit of persuading she sent me through Radcliffe's full employment record.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51- And what about Nyman? - She had his on file, as well.
0:45:51 > 0:45:52Really?
0:45:52 > 0:45:56Turns out Radcliffe used to be Nyman's senior registrar. And when he applied to go
0:45:56 > 0:45:59on the Home Office list last year, guess who he gave as referee?
0:45:59 > 0:46:01And nobody in the Coroner's office picked up on this?
0:46:01 > 0:46:05That their two "independent experts" are old colleagues?
0:46:05 > 0:46:09- Well, it's a small pool. Chances are a lot of them know each other. - Yeah, but Nyman's his boss.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11His bloody mentor by the sounds of it.
0:46:11 > 0:46:15No wonder he didn't want to contradict him. What are those?
0:46:15 > 0:46:19- I just did a trawl and printed off everything I could find online about Professor Nyman.- OK.
0:46:21 > 0:46:22Good.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26- Fancy a beer?- Yeah, sure.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44Oh. Sorry. We thought you were pizza.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47- Excuse me? - Clive? What are you doing here?
0:46:48 > 0:46:49What's going on?
0:46:50 > 0:46:52We're working.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55Oh for God's sake, Clive.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13So how come you're only looking into the pathologists' report now?
0:47:13 > 0:47:17Because I never had reason to question the cause of death before.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32- You know, maybe... - I've got something.
0:47:32 > 0:47:33No.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36It's the transcript from a GMC hearing in 2008.
0:47:36 > 0:47:37Radcliffe?
0:47:37 > 0:47:41No, Nyman. They temporarily suspended his licence.
0:47:42 > 0:47:43We're back in.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53Listen, I'm gonna leave you to it.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57- OK. Wasn't there something you... - No, no. It's fine.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10When did they let him back on the Home Office list?
0:48:24 > 0:48:28I'm not saying my learned colleague was aware of the GMC ruling...
0:48:28 > 0:48:29I should hope not.
0:48:29 > 0:48:33But clearly the information should have been disclosed.
0:48:33 > 0:48:37Your Honour, Professor Nyman was originally retained by the coroner's office,
0:48:37 > 0:48:39it appears an assumption was made...
0:48:39 > 0:48:42You still have a continuing duty to disclose, Mr McKinley.
0:48:42 > 0:48:43That is non-negotiable.
0:48:44 > 0:48:45Yes, Your Honour.
0:48:45 > 0:48:51Your application to have Professor Nyman recalled is granted, Miss Costello.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54As is the application to adduce bad character.
0:49:04 > 0:49:05Professor Nyman,
0:49:05 > 0:49:11how many cases of Long QT Syndrome have you diagnosed over the past five years?
0:49:11 > 0:49:13I couldn't say off the top of my head.
0:49:13 > 0:49:16But you're considered quite an authority on it, aren't you?
0:49:16 > 0:49:19You've written papers and so on.
0:49:19 > 0:49:23That's correct. But I couldn't give an exact figure without checking my files.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26Well, let's focus on two, shall we?
0:49:26 > 0:49:30Margaret Blakefield and Antony Dowling.
0:49:31 > 0:49:34Now, you performed postmortems on both of them,
0:49:34 > 0:49:39and reached a conclusion of fatal arrhythmia in both cases.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41Yes.
0:49:41 > 0:49:46But that conclusion was challenged by three other pathologists,
0:49:46 > 0:49:47wasn't it?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49There was a difference of opinion. It happens.
0:49:49 > 0:49:54A "difference of opinion" which led to a disciplinary hearing in front of the GMC
0:49:54 > 0:49:58and a temporary suspension of your Home Office accreditation?
0:50:00 > 0:50:01Yes...
0:50:01 > 0:50:06Because the GMC believed that you showed, and I quote...
0:50:08 > 0:50:12"..a reluctance to change from your original findings,
0:50:12 > 0:50:16"even when presented with directly contradictory evidence".
0:50:19 > 0:50:22I can see that it might be confusing for a lay person...
0:50:22 > 0:50:24Oh actually, no.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27It's very clear.
0:50:28 > 0:50:32You're so keen to find evidence of your pet theory
0:50:32 > 0:50:38that you've been repeatedly shown to miss the more obvious causes of death.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46Professor Nyman. If you suffer from a loss of hearing,
0:50:46 > 0:50:51as a result of a bout of mumps, can that be called congenital deafness?
0:50:54 > 0:50:56- No, it cannot.- I see.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00And what does the term "SUDEP" mean?
0:51:03 > 0:51:04Sudden Death In Epilepsy.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07It's when someone dies from an epileptic attack.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09Right.
0:51:09 > 0:51:13So if Richard Doyle lost his hearing after having mumps
0:51:13 > 0:51:17and if his uncle died from an epileptic fit,
0:51:17 > 0:51:22would those factors be relevant to a diagnosis of Long QT Syndrome?
0:51:24 > 0:51:26No, they would not.
0:51:26 > 0:51:29And yet you based your conclusion
0:51:29 > 0:51:32that he suffered a fatal arrhythmic attack on those very factors?
0:51:32 > 0:51:37- I wasn't aware...- But surely you read Doyle's medical history?
0:51:37 > 0:51:40Clearly you spoke to his next of kin.
0:51:40 > 0:51:45I mean, you must have been aware that he suffered from cirrhosis of the liver?
0:51:45 > 0:51:47Yes, of course.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50Which means that if he received a blow to his abdomen,
0:51:50 > 0:51:54in the region of his liver, it could cause a bleed?
0:51:54 > 0:51:59Possibly one serious enough to kill him?
0:52:00 > 0:52:02It's possible, in theory,
0:52:02 > 0:52:07but he didn't receive any such blow prior to his death.
0:52:07 > 0:52:12But we know now that Doyle lost his footing on the step into the van.
0:52:12 > 0:52:16I mean, couldn't the bruising that you attributed to CPR
0:52:16 > 0:52:18actually have come from falling against the prison van door?
0:52:18 > 0:52:20I don't believe so, no.
0:52:20 > 0:52:24Professor Nyman, was there sufficient blood in Richard Doyle's abdomen
0:52:24 > 0:52:28to fit with a diagnosis of internal haemorrhage?
0:52:29 > 0:52:32It's not simply a question of volume...
0:52:32 > 0:52:33Yes or no, Professor Nyman?
0:52:33 > 0:52:35Yes!
0:52:35 > 0:52:36GALLERY MURMURS
0:52:44 > 0:52:49And had he suffered this bleeding as a result of a blow to his liver,
0:52:49 > 0:52:53could his death really have been caused by the stress
0:52:53 > 0:52:55of being locked in the back of that van?
0:52:57 > 0:52:59Clearly not.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02And would his chances of survival have been greatly increased
0:53:02 > 0:53:07if he'd received medical aid 20 minutes earlier?
0:53:09 > 0:53:10It's unlikely.
0:53:13 > 0:53:15Thank you, Professor Nyman.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29- Shall we wait here?- They'll call us back in when they're ready for us.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32Maybe you should get a coffee?
0:53:47 > 0:53:50In respect of count one on the indictment,
0:53:50 > 0:53:53that of corporate manslaughter, do you find the defendants,
0:53:53 > 0:53:59V&R Security Ltd, guilty or not guilty?
0:54:00 > 0:54:01Not guilty.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09And in respect of count two on the indictment,
0:54:09 > 0:54:11that of gross negligence manslaughter,
0:54:11 > 0:54:15do you find the defendant, Michael Ward,
0:54:15 > 0:54:16guilty or not guilty?
0:54:21 > 0:54:22Not guilty.
0:54:22 > 0:54:23GALLERY MURMURS
0:54:44 > 0:54:45No hard feelings, I hope?
0:54:45 > 0:54:47We got the right result in the end.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49Did we?
0:54:50 > 0:54:54Enjoy your victory, Martha. I certainly shall.
0:54:57 > 0:55:02Right. First round's on me. Better a lush than a spinster.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04- Sorry?- Doesn't matter.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13Jesus, Billy. What the hell are you doing?
0:55:13 > 0:55:14I'm looking at the bigger picture, sir.
0:55:14 > 0:55:16In the dark?
0:55:16 > 0:55:19Do my best thinking in the dark.
0:55:19 > 0:55:20I think about my barristers
0:55:20 > 0:55:24and how I can make sure they achieve their potential.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26'Cos that's what I do. I plan ahead.
0:55:27 > 0:55:28Good to know.
0:55:28 > 0:55:34Now, another barrister, like, say, Caroline Warwick,
0:55:34 > 0:55:37they might put work your way to get their foot in the door,
0:55:37 > 0:55:39but it won't last, trust me.
0:55:41 > 0:55:45Barristers are like thoroughbreds. Sleek. Focused on winning.
0:55:45 > 0:55:47And utterly selfish.
0:55:49 > 0:55:52That's why you need me. Looking out for you long-term.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56Something to bear in mind when she makes her application.
0:56:16 > 0:56:18Nice of you to join us.
0:56:18 > 0:56:19Yeah.
0:56:22 > 0:56:25Listen, Marth, I've had a letter from the Bar Standards Board.
0:56:25 > 0:56:26About Oxford?
0:56:29 > 0:56:31I really need your help.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34Jesus, Clive.
0:56:35 > 0:56:38Well, I'm afraid I've dragged you both here for no reason.
0:56:38 > 0:56:42Our esteemed colleague seems to have had an attack of the jitters.
0:56:42 > 0:56:43She's changed her mind?
0:56:43 > 0:56:45Wants to take a rain check.
0:56:45 > 0:56:48You didn't mention this evening to anyone, did you?
0:56:48 > 0:56:50Got the impression she was worried there'd been a leak.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35George Duggan is for Christmas. Silk is for life.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38I've never felt like this before, so this is more difficult for me than I can say.
0:57:38 > 0:57:42This work, it will corrupt your every waking moment.
0:57:42 > 0:57:46And when you lose, I don't want that for you.
0:57:46 > 0:57:47I know about the Ali family.
0:57:47 > 0:57:49What do you know?
0:57:49 > 0:57:53Fatima. Tell us what happened that night, with your family.
0:57:53 > 0:57:55Are you an angry man, Mr Ali?
