0:00:02 > 0:00:03Drugs - heroin importation.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06Farr's arrested and charged. Why do you want her?
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Anyone who spits in my eye is my kind of brief.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10I will not work for that man.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13- CW. - Are you looking to move?
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Well, I'm bloody lonely. I want a friend.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16If we were looking for prosecutors,
0:00:16 > 0:00:18then Caroline Warwick may not be the way to go.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Fatima Ali.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23The brother tried to calm her, she lashed out with a broken bottle...
0:00:23 > 0:00:24He's dead because of me.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Prosecute, and you'll walk into silk.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29I'm really counting on you here.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03It's Billy.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Nine o'clock.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10It's me.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Nine o'clock.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Come on...
0:01:37 > 0:01:41SIREN WAILS
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Tap water. Clean and cold.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58DOOR SQUEAKS
0:02:03 > 0:02:05What are you doing here?
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Sit down.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- No.- Think you should.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- What do you want? Where's Billy? - It's almost embarrassing -
0:02:11 > 0:02:13you saying no.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16So, if the middle man's not getting it done...
0:02:20 > 0:02:23I've only ever been properly embarrassed once.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25I used to nip off with Hustler magazine
0:02:25 > 0:02:28for an early playtime in the boys' toilets.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Five minutes with myself.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Waitress...
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Bye, Micky.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46I have to tell you this. This is something you have to hear.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51He knocked on my cubicle door.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55"Michael Joy. I know you're in there and I know what you're doing." Mr Wilson.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57And what did you do?
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Opened the door, kicked his stupid head in and went out to play.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02What would you like?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Double espresso.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Double espresso.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10I told my dad the teacher had tried to feel me up in the toilets. He went berserk.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13School was on the back foot from the start.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Teacher lost his job.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16The Archway Road took him three months later.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Took him?- It's the A1, technically.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21So, if hitting the tarmac from 100 foot, doesn't kill you,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24the first northbound vehicle will.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Thank you.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Have you ever seen an institution lose confidence?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Watching it happen,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35taught me everything I know about power.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Power is control of the story.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Only two people from the school went to the crematorium - me and The Head.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47He was representing the school, I was curious.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50He took me for a cup of tea and a cupcake afterwards,
0:03:50 > 0:03:54and got very heavy about guilt and shame and forgiveness -
0:03:54 > 0:03:55all that Catholic bollocks.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59It was the hardest ten minutes of his career and he knew it,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02but what he didn't know
0:04:02 > 0:04:05was that a piece of pink icing
0:04:05 > 0:04:07was stuck to the lower part of his bottom lip.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11And it moved as he spoke.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15It turned him from what he wanted to be -
0:04:15 > 0:04:19a man with gravitas and moral authority - into something...
0:04:22 > 0:04:23..embarrassing.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Give that to Billy, will you?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- What is it?- £3,000 in used notes.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Jody Farr's proof of evidence.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Miss.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51You were here.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Don't you ever do that again.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57You'd have said no if I'd...
0:04:57 > 0:04:58I'm still saying no.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01That's not what Micky says.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05BAGGAGE SCANNER BLEEPS
0:05:19 > 0:05:21There's nothing to be afraid of.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Are they here?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Your father and your brother.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Today is for us lawyers to sort out bits of housekeeping.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38All you have to do is enter a plea of not guilty - nothing else.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Is she here?- Yeah.- Good.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51They're going to nick her.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Why?
0:05:52 > 0:05:57- Breach of bail.- Oh, Christ. What? - Contacting a prosecution witness.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Does she want to surrender now or afterwards?- Wait, wait. Who?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- The brother. Ibrahim.- What sort of contact?- Phone calls.
0:06:03 > 0:06:0533 of them.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07All hours of the day and night.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Well, I mean, she's his sister.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11She's never been apart from her family before, so..
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Yeah. You know what?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16In all the rush to characterize Little Miss Muslim
0:06:16 > 0:06:18as the real victim,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21shall we try and remember she drank 15 whiskies
0:06:21 > 0:06:23and she stuck a jagged bottle so hard into her brother's neck,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- she could have killed him twice. - Still, it's a bit harsh to...
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Fight me if you want.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30It's what we're here for.
0:06:34 > 0:06:3633 phone calls.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Why?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39He's my brother.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42You know this is very serious...
0:06:43 > 0:06:45He's my brother.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48He's always looked after me.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Of course she thinks they look after her.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54It's what they've been telling her all her life. It's brainwashing.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- She'll be remanded in custody. - Don't let that happen.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59It's a murder, George. I'm not a miracle worker.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Have you ever seen a more frightened human?- It doesn't help with bail.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04She's a woman.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Do that thing you do with women, Clive.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- ...On one piece of paper? - Yes, ma'am.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- I need to talk to you.- Me first.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- What?- Jody Farr.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- You're prosecuting it. - I need a junior.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- You're offering me the junior brief in Jody Farr? - It'll be like America, darling.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24We can wear beautiful suits
0:07:24 > 0:07:27and arrive at court every morning in bright sunshine.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Publicity will blaze.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30When?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Monday. I need you to take some witnesses.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- We'll be a team. - This won't be finished.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38The trial starts on Wednesday. It's five days.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40And you're committed to her?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42TANNOY RINGS
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Yes, I am.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Tell me about Ms Ali.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Break my heart.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52I don't think I've ever seen a more frightened human.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Broken heart. Wait there.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03RELIEVED SIGH
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- Anything interesting? - He was present at a robbery.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Staff member went for the alarm. One of the other robbers shot her dead.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Mandatory death penalty. - What?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Life and death in the Caribbean.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Right. - The case law - Pratt and Morgan.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Their Lordships decided that five years on death row
0:08:30 > 0:08:33equals cruel and unusual punishment -
0:08:33 > 0:08:35which means you can't be executed.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Survive more than five years
0:08:37 > 0:08:41and your death sentence gets commuted to life imprisonment.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44It's weird, isn't it? Final court of appeal for death penalty cases
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- for thousands of miles away here in...- In Parliament Square, W1.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50I mean, it's a complete anachronism.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53It's indefensible that we kept this power over the legal systems
0:08:53 > 0:08:56of former colonies. But thank God we have.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59So, has he done his five years?
0:08:59 > 0:09:00No.
0:09:02 > 0:09:0523 hours a day
0:09:05 > 0:09:07in a cell
0:09:07 > 0:09:09the size of a chicken coop.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Television?
0:09:11 > 0:09:12No.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Books?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Just your own thoughts.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21They say when you have been sentenced to death,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23you have nothing to lose, so -
0:09:23 > 0:09:26you are, by definition, a dangerous prisoner.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Visits?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Once a month.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33No touching.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36(HALTINGLY) I haven't
0:09:36 > 0:09:40hugged my son in two years.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42I want to hug him.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49My whole body tells me I have to hug him.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52He's my child.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56I cannot.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02When you execute a man...
0:10:03 > 0:10:07...you end the lives of his whole family.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11What will I tell my nine-year-old daughter?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16What will I say to her...
0:10:17 > 0:10:19..when they break his neck?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22You know the law.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Because your son hasn't used the appeals process
0:10:26 > 0:10:30and only two years have passed since he was sentenced...
0:10:30 > 0:10:35I want you to tell the judges two years -
0:10:35 > 0:10:38they may as well be 20. Two years...
0:10:40 > 0:10:42..is a lifetime.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50PHONES RING, PEOPLE CHATTER
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Thank you, bye-bye.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- What's this? Jackson Henderson? - That's a Michael Connolly freebie, sir.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59It's a death penalty appeal from the Caribbean. She's doing the con now.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Con? How?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- His mother.- Blow it out.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- It's a death row case, Billy. - Yeah. Return it.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06And when Connolly comes out the con
0:11:06 > 0:11:09tell him to go elsewhere with his grim work.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- A man will be executed...- I've had it with you answering me back!
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I'm the senior clerk in here!
0:11:17 > 0:11:19What's the matter with you?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Why hasn't Jackson used the appeals process?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Who knows what goes through a man's mind.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Locked in a cell with only death to talk to, Mrs Costello.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not Mrs. I'm a Miss.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38A woman like you?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42A woman as beautiful as you?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44My, my...
0:11:44 > 0:11:46what a world.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51MOBILE PHONE RINGS
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Hello, Billy.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Yes. No. We're just...
0:11:56 > 0:11:59What? But we just had the con.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06What are you doing? What the hell are you doing?!
0:12:06 > 0:12:07- Not now, Miss. - Not now?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09What do you mean, not now?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11A man is scheduled to die in a few days time and what?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13This isn't a good time for you?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Where are you going? Don't walk away from me.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Don't you dare turn your back on this.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I've seen what it does - this work.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24It will corrupt your every waking moment and most of your sleep.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26And when you lose,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I don't want that for you.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I came to the Bar to do this kind of work.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- I am doing it, Billy. - Doing pro bono work
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- for Michael Connolly won't get you the kudos...- Whoa, what?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Or the attention. - Or the career development?
0:12:41 > 0:12:46One last time, I will NOT represent Jody Farr.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47This is not about THAT.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49How can you ask me to represent that man
0:12:49 > 0:12:52and in the same breath tell me I can't try and save a...
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Miss!- If you mention him to me again
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I will take that as a direct challenge to my being here.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00And if that happens,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I will fight you for the right to stay at Shoe Lane.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10The Crown understands the wider context
0:13:10 > 0:13:11surrounding this tragic death,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15and we are prepared to accept the psychiatric report's finding
0:13:15 > 0:13:18that defendant's state of mind was substantially impaired.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Diminished.- We'll offer no evidence on the murder
0:13:21 > 0:13:24if she pleads to manslaughter.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Is the judge going to buy this?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I did a four month fraud last summer in front of him.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30The air conditioning had broken down and he took to wearing
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- nothing under his robes. - How do you know?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I know. And he'll buy this if I tell him to.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Nothing to do with cracking this trial
0:13:37 > 0:13:39so that you and me are free for Jody Farr?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42It is the duty of a prosecutor to be fair.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46And that means working against the urge to win just because you can.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Fatima Ali isn't a murderer. We can all see that.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Amazing.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Yeah. Wasn't easy. She doesn't roll over for just anyone.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Still, it's as good a deal as you could hope for.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06It's almost a shame we have to say no.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Don't even tell her about the offer? Is that what you're saying?
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- My job is to get her to think for herself.- In the meantime, you tell her what to think.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- Isn't that what everyone's been doing to her all her life?- I want her to think for herself.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- She needs to choose now.- It wouldn't be a real choice. She's not ready. She just feels guilty.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26OK, OK. Her best interests. What are they?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Going through with a trial in public?
0:14:28 > 0:14:29How humiliating would that be?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31And if she's convicted, she gets life.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34If we're acting in her best interests, then pleading guilty
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- to manslaughter, avoiding a trial and having half a shout...- What?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Half a shout at a mental health disposal?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- How about we send an abused woman to the funny farm?- George...
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Why should she plead guilty?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48We can do this. I know we can.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Do what?
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Give this woman enough self respect and strength to fight back.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Imagine what the Court of Appeal would say. The appellant was never told about the offer?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- They'd go mad and they'd be right to. - I thought you were a fighter.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Yeah, well...
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I know what we'll do.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09It's a very good offer.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11But it's too much to take in now.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14So here's what we think you should do.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15Plead not guilty today
0:15:15 > 0:15:18and then I'll make sure the offer's is still on the table
0:15:18 > 0:15:20when we come back for trial on Wednesday.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23That way you'll have had time to think about it and decide.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Prawn cocktail?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Is that why you followed me round here?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- No.- So why did you?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47I was just checking you were OK with the initials on the pigeonholes.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Like, who's who.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I'm fine. And any I don't know I can just figure it out.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56OK. Good.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- I'll see you back in the clerk's room.- OK.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05- Jake?- Yes?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Did you want to ask me out?
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Me?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10No.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13No. Not at all.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Not guilty for now,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- but she'll plead on Wednesday. - Are you sure?- Yep.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Because she always does what the men in her life tell her to do?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Shall we have our fight about bail?
0:17:14 > 0:17:19"Do not contact any member of your family directly or indirectly
0:17:19 > 0:17:23"or you will be remanded in custody." Quote, unquote.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25It is a kind of arrogance,
0:17:25 > 0:17:29frankly, to ignore a judicial warning of such clarity.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Does she think the law doesn't apply to her?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35There's a cultural problem here, your honour.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Fatima has failed to understand that what the judge says
0:17:38 > 0:17:41has to take precedence over her profound need to talk to her family.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44She gets it now. I've explained it to her in no uncertain terms.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47If you grant her bail, I'm sure she won't let anyone down again.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Bail is refused.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53But I'm going to bend over backwards to help Ms Ali.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I've had another trial collapse this morning.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Is there any reason why this trial can't start tomorrow?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I'll see you tonight.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Will you?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Seven o'clock.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Do me a favour and accuse me of being a loose cannon.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Oh. Your interview. Yes.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16And remember, George Duggan is for Christmas.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Silk is for life.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26They make their own coffins on death row. In the corridor outside.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29That's the most constructive thing they do.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32We have heard all these arguments on past occasions.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35We are sympathetic.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39And that is why this court made the five year rule.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40Move on, please.
0:18:40 > 0:18:48Nine, 11, 13 and 16. Jackson Henderson's four sisters.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51For the last two years, they have witnessed their mother
0:18:51 > 0:18:53and their father's anguish
0:18:53 > 0:18:56and they have struggled to understand the sentence
0:18:56 > 0:18:59passed on their elder brother and they have not understood.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05If Jackson dies in a few days time,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09his sisters will be condemned to live their lives
0:19:09 > 0:19:13with unimaginably ugly thoughts and feelings.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Does this court want to punish those children?
0:19:20 > 0:19:24I have had the privilege to get to know Florence Henderson,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26the appellant's mother,
0:19:26 > 0:19:30and I have seen at close hand her extraordinary courage
0:19:30 > 0:19:33in dealing with what is happening to her son.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35You refute your own argument.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Not when I tell you that this woman,
0:19:37 > 0:19:42more brave and dignified I think than anyone I have ever met,
0:19:42 > 0:19:47cries herself to sleep at night. And when she does sleep,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50she dreams of hanging.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54This is her history,
0:19:54 > 0:19:58it's her present, and it's her future.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Does this court endorse that?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Her punishment and that of her young family
0:20:07 > 0:20:09is lifelong.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13And I submit to this court,
0:20:13 > 0:20:19with all your emotional and intellectual intelligence,
0:20:19 > 0:20:20that is its cruel,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22it is unusual...
0:20:24 > 0:20:26..and it must stop.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I think you're right to come in.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Have you ever had a digital examination before?- No.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Shall we do that now?- Yeah.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38What is that exactly?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Legs a little higher for me, please.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- No, I mean knees closer to your chest.- Oh, sorry.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52And relax.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08It IS enlarged and it's putting some pressure on your bladder.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11What does that mean?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I'm going to say the word, but I don't want you to get worried.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16What word?
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Cancer.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Probably you haven't,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23but possibly you have and I'd like to be sure.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25You need to be seen by a specialist.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30Now, there is an accelerated referral time.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34But only if there are specific factors causing particular concern.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Perhaps you could help me, Mr Lamb.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Have any of your family ever had prostate cancer?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Er...yeah.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Oh.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49And who was that?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- My mum.- On the whole, mums don't have prostate glands.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- My sister.- Women don't erm...
0:21:58 > 0:22:04- My dad. - OK. Quite young, was he?
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Yeah.- Under 50?
0:22:08 > 0:22:1049.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17These are weighty issues.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21We will adjourn and notify you when we are ready to give judgement.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Well, when? We have to know when.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26We will notify you.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- What have you done? - What do you mean?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- Something. You're looking particularly gorgeous. - I had my death row appeal today.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Oh right. Sorry. Yeah I...I forgot.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Judgement soon.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Quiet apart from that? Workwise?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09So, why are you leaving your old set?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13I say what I think and the boys don't like it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Have you noticed what people say about loud women?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18"Oh, she's got a mouth on her."
0:23:18 > 0:23:20What do they say about noisy men?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22"He's a good laugh."
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Some people think you're a loose cannon.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Do they? Who? Oh, of course you can't say.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Here's what I think. I think the Bar is special
0:23:33 > 0:23:38because it's our work to cherish the English language in all its glory.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43A row of cannon, all pointing in the same direction and sounding the same, what would that be?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46It would be children who don't read books any more.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51It would be a world filled with management consultants.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56And for us, it would be solicitor advocates, wouldn't it?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Tired and dull and flat.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I think juries deserve better than that.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Does that answer your question?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15My last three years' income.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Who earns more at Shoe Lane? My guess is nobody.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21And the next two years projected.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Only a dinosaur would say no.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Skeletons, Miss?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Have I slept with any judges? Err...several.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Solicitors? Quite a few.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Senior Clerks?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Not yet.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- Drink?- Love to.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41That's what I hear.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45This is a drinking profession.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47I drink fast and hard
0:24:47 > 0:24:50and I get up in the morning sober as a judge and twice as lively.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51And what about you?
0:24:51 > 0:24:56Anything I should know about Billy Lamb?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I've never felt like this before.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- So this is more difficult for me than I can say. - But you're going to tell me...
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I'm going to be brutally honest, George. I think that's best.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09We're just not suited.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Fatima needs someone who can... What's the expression?
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Do emotion. Now, I wish that was me, but it's not. I'm so sorry.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- It's tomorrow.- I know. I should have said but I didn't because...
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- I didn't want to let you down. - What am I supposed to do?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I just keep coming back to Fatima. She's what matters here
0:25:27 > 0:25:30and if I'm not giving her what she needs then...
0:25:30 > 0:25:32It's not me facing life imprisonment, is it? It's her.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Shit. Shit. Shit.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35I'm sorry.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Listen, um... I'll be right back. I'm just going to...
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Erm...you know George Duggan.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Hi.- Yeah. Sorry. I've got to...
0:25:54 > 0:25:56So. You in court tomorrow?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Err... No.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01How about the rest of the week?
0:26:01 > 0:26:06- Apart from receiving a judgement, free. Why?- George...?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- Listen, I'm going to let you two, er...- What, you...?
0:26:16 > 0:26:17I've returned Fatima Ali.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Right. Yeah.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21So I'm free to prosecute Jody Farr.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- Led by CW. - Who have we returned Fatima to?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Have I got this right?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35A senior clerk who can't get his new silk
0:26:35 > 0:26:37to defend the biggest brief in town
0:26:37 > 0:26:39manages to get golden balls to prosecute it?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42It's under control. I'll sort it out.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I said, I'll sort it.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52That's more like it.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Why are you here?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09You don't sleep, I don't sleep.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Where's Mrs Henderson staying?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16She's flown home.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17If the appeal is refused,
0:27:17 > 0:27:21then she wouldn't have time to get back before they execute him.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Are you OK, Miss? - Do me a favour, Billy.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Don't be nice to me.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Are you going to save him?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43I don't know.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Call me the second any news comes in.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Even if I'm in court. Get me.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Pleading to manslaughter?- No.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00What? But Clive said that...
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Do I look like a big public schoolboy, Caroline?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08When do you think this will finish?
0:28:08 > 0:28:11It'll go into Monday, at least.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16She's not ready.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Clive was going to carve it, wasn't he?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Clive? It's me. You're dumped.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37A wild night of drinking and a return home
0:28:37 > 0:28:40with a three quarters empty bottle of scotch.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Her older brother tried to take the bottle, to stop her drinking more.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45And what did she do?
0:28:45 > 0:28:48She broke the bottle and she went for him.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52He lifted and turned his head to avoid the lunge
0:28:52 > 0:28:57and the jagged, lethal, broken glass went into his neck,
0:28:57 > 0:29:03with sufficient force to sever the carotid artery.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Mustapha Ali bled to death
0:29:08 > 0:29:12before any medical attention could reach him.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19There is an alternative count on this indictment. Manslaughter.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22But make no mistake about it,
0:29:22 > 0:29:26the Crown is and always has been very clear -
0:29:26 > 0:29:28this is a murder.
0:29:30 > 0:29:35And that is the verdict we will be asking you to return.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37I was upstairs.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- Doing what?- On the phone.
0:29:39 > 0:29:40To who?
0:29:40 > 0:29:44I don't remember. I heard a smashing of a glass and a few seconds later, a scream.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- Who screamed?- My mother.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48What did you do?
0:29:48 > 0:29:50I ran downstairs.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52When I reached the door of the kitchen
0:29:52 > 0:29:55I saw Mustapha lying on the floor. He was twitching and writhing.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58It looked like he was having some kind of fit.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Later I learned he was choking on his own blood.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Stick to what you yourself saw and heard, please.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07I realised it wasn't a fit
0:30:07 > 0:30:09when I saw the blood coming out of his neck.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Was anyone else in the room?
0:30:11 > 0:30:13My mother, father, my sister, Fatima.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14And what was she doing?
0:30:14 > 0:30:18She was bent over the table, like she was exhausted or something.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Later I learned she...
0:30:19 > 0:30:21No, no, forget about later.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Just tell us what you saw.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28She was holding the bottle. It was broken.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32It fell out of her hand. My brother stopped moving.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35I knew he was dead.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37What did you do?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39I couldn't breathe, I had to get out.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44You were upstairs. So you can't help us with the immediate context.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45She'd been out, she came back.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- She was drunk. - Did you see her go out?- No.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- Did you see her come back?- No. - Did you see her drinking?
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- The police officer told me...- Yes.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58Did you see her drinking? You, yourself.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- No.- So, like I said, no context.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05What you've been told, yes, assumptions you've made, yes,
0:31:05 > 0:31:09but actual evidence of what went on, no.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Where did you go when you left the house?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- I just felt I had to get away. - Where did you go?
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I wandered around.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Did you love your brother?
0:31:19 > 0:31:20Of course.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- Did you call 999?- No.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- Why not? - I don't know, I couldn't think.
0:31:24 > 0:31:29- Did you do anything to help him? - I told you, he was dead.
0:31:29 > 0:31:30What else could I do?
0:31:30 > 0:31:32And how do you think he'd died?
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- It was obvious.- Was it? Why?
0:31:34 > 0:31:36The blood, the bottle in her hand.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37Have I got this straight?
0:31:37 > 0:31:42You left the house with your brother dead or dying, your sister,
0:31:42 > 0:31:44whom you believed to be the killer still in there...
0:31:44 > 0:31:45You better stop this..
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- ..and both your parents hysterical? - Enough!
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Enough of what?
0:31:51 > 0:31:52Questions you can't answer?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- You listen to me... - Mister Ali.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59I will not let her insult my dead brother in this way.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- I'm sorry you think it's insulting. - Then why don't you back off?
0:32:03 > 0:32:06When did you come back from your wander?
0:32:06 > 0:32:08My wander?
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Your word.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13My brother's blood in our kitchen and my sister drunk.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Have you any idea what that felt like?
0:32:15 > 0:32:19These two things, do they provoke the same emotion in you?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Dead brother, drunk sister?
0:32:22 > 0:32:23I will not answer that.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26I know you'd like to say my religion is against women.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28I will not talk to someone as ignorant as you.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30What do you know? Who are you?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Are you an angry man, Mister Ali?
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Was your brother?
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- You lied to me. - I was trying to manage a situation.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45The only time I have to meet a barrister for the first time.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- You promised her. - That's what I thought at that time.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50You were trying to carve it from the start.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52I'm not an idiot, Clive.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Don't you dare do that.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59- What?- Sexy puppy dog bollocks.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Can a puppy be sexy?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Detective Sergeant, were there any injuries
0:33:05 > 0:33:07on the deceased that you could call defence wounds?
0:33:07 > 0:33:09No.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Thank you. What about signs of injury on the accused?
0:33:13 > 0:33:14She had a mark around her wrist.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18Consistent with having a hand held tight around it?
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Could've been consistent with the deceased
0:33:20 > 0:33:22trying to get the bottle away from the accused.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Or with Fatima trying to defend herself from him?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Or him trying to defend himself from her attack on him.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30This is all a bit like ping pong, Your Honour.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33My learned friend can't seem to go
0:33:33 > 0:33:36more than two minutes without hearing the sound of her own voice.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Let's keep things civilised, shall we, ladies?
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- Ladies?- Ladies?
0:33:44 > 0:33:48There's no evidence of where she'd been before returning home.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- No.- Where did the bottle come from?
0:33:50 > 0:33:54It didn't really seem the most important...
0:33:54 > 0:33:57We focused our inquiry on the scene and the forensics,
0:33:57 > 0:34:00which kind of spoke for themselves.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Did they? The alcohol in her blood,
0:34:02 > 0:34:08- a reading like that, between ten and 15 shots of whisky?- Yes.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- And the whisky in her hair?- Yes. - And all down her front?- Yes.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- Quite a session?- You said it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17But you chose not to find out where she'd been drinking?
0:34:17 > 0:34:20It was quite clear what had happened here.
0:34:20 > 0:34:26Is it right that a neighbour called the police at 10.40 pm.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31- Yes.- And what action was taken? - It was a shout the neighbour heard.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Could've been anything. We get those calls all the time.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35It wasn't a priority.
0:34:35 > 0:34:42Then at 11.04, the 999 call came in which was a priority.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Who made that call?
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- Mister Ali.- The father.
0:34:48 > 0:34:5324 minutes later than the first call.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56What did you think about your daughter's behaviour?
0:34:56 > 0:34:58I didn't like it.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Going out? Dressing the way she was dressing?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Yes.- And Ibrahim?
0:35:05 > 0:35:06He didn't like it.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Mustapha?
0:35:08 > 0:35:11We three men all agreed it was wrong and we spoke to her.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Do you think that women deserve punishment from their husbands?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Sometimes.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Did you ever punish your wife?
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Yes.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23What was the offence?
0:35:23 > 0:35:25I will not dishonour her name or mine
0:35:25 > 0:35:29by recalling an event that is passed and forgotten.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33What was the punishment?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35According to the Koran.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- A quiet word?- Yes.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Then a withdrawal of sexual services from the marital bed.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Yes.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Then a light beating?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47It did not reach that point.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52And it is a wilful misinterpretation of the Koran that you rely on.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Did Fatima do what she was told after you spoke with her?
0:35:56 > 0:35:57No.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00And how did that make you all feel?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Humiliated?
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- Angry?- I wanted what was best for my daughter.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Best according to who?
0:36:08 > 0:36:09Her father. Our religion.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14- She needed guidance. - She needed choice.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17She needed freedom to decide how to live.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20You think they've made a choice? These western women?
0:36:20 > 0:36:23You think women who drink so much they fall over in the street
0:36:23 > 0:36:25and go out wearing the clothes of prostitutes
0:36:25 > 0:36:29and paint their faces, have an independent mind?
0:36:29 > 0:36:32This is freedom? This is your freedom?
0:36:32 > 0:36:34I am asking you a question.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Mister Ali...
0:36:36 > 0:36:40She asks me many, many questions. I cannot ask her one?
0:36:40 > 0:36:44It isn't a choice, you're right. It's a form of tyranny.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48Real freedom is the ability to choose.
0:36:49 > 0:36:56Whenever that is lost or taken away, we must fight it.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- It's your mother next.- No.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03Why not?
0:37:05 > 0:37:06Fatima?
0:37:06 > 0:37:07It will be too hard for her.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16I don't have any brothers or sisters.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18I come from a small, close family.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22My mum, my dad and me.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25My dad was a lot older than my mum and when I was 16,
0:37:25 > 0:37:27he started to lose his memory.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29It wasn't too bad at first.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Repeated questions.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Forgetting why he'd come into the room.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39But the doctors were very clear, that it would get worse
0:37:39 > 0:37:42and he would need looking after.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46And when I left school, well, he deteriorated quite a lot.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50He couldn't remember what order to put his clothes on.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54Anyway, I wanted to go to university.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55And I got in.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00And two weeks before I was due to start,
0:38:00 > 0:38:03my mum asked me the big question.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- What?- She asked me not to go.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- What happened?- I went.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17And when I came home half way through the first term,
0:38:17 > 0:38:19my dad didn't recognise me.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Has she forgiven you?
0:38:23 > 0:38:24That's her own question.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29She wanted me to stay at home
0:38:29 > 0:38:31because she needed me to be there to help with my dad,
0:38:31 > 0:38:34but she also wanted me to stay at home,
0:38:34 > 0:38:40because she was lonely and bitter, and she wanted me to be the same.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47I was in my bedroom, and I saw Fatima arriving home.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Was she holding anything?
0:38:49 > 0:38:50No.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51Are you sure?
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Yes.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55It was dark.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59She stopped at the end of the path and looked up at the sky.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03It was a clear night. There was nothing in her hands.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Do you have any alcohol in the house?
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Me? No.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Does anyone?
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Your husband?
0:39:18 > 0:39:19You are under oath.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24My husband.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Gin?
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Vodka?
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Whisky?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39What time did Fatima arrive home?
0:39:39 > 0:39:4110.30.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43And how can you be so sure?
0:39:43 > 0:39:50I go to bed every night at the same time, always 10.30.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- Was she walking in a straight line? - Yes.
0:39:53 > 0:39:58So if Fatima wasn't drinking before she came home..
0:39:58 > 0:40:02she would've had to have drunk three quarters of a bottle of whisky
0:40:02 > 0:40:06in a short period of time, to reach the levels of alcohol...
0:40:06 > 0:40:11This witness can't possibly be expected to comment on that.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13No, quite.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- Martha... - I think you're wanted, Miss Costello.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Please leave her alone.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Well, this might be a good moment to adjourn for the day.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44- Definitely the same night?- Yes.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46He's got a bag. And he's on the phone.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Where have you been all my life, Daniel Lomas?
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Six minutes after the call from the neighbour,
0:40:53 > 0:40:55and Ibrahim is making a phone call.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Is that you?
0:41:07 > 0:41:08Yes.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Who were you calling?
0:41:10 > 0:41:14Not 999. Not home.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16- I don't know. - You don't know?
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Your brother dead or dying,
0:41:18 > 0:41:21your drunk sister apparently responsible.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22And you were on the phone!
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- Who would you be calling, Ibrahim Ali?- I don't remember.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Or are you lying to me and this jury?
0:41:32 > 0:41:36- What's in the bag?- You don't understand anything about this. - I think I do.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38I think I'm getting there.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43What is in the bag?
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Shut up. Shut up!
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Are you an angry man, Mr Ali?
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Yes, I was angry with her.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51- She came home smelling. - You were upstairs.- She'd done it before. This was the same.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- Done what before? - Come home smelling of.- Of what? - Of sex. She's a whore!
0:41:57 > 0:41:58She's the liar.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Thank you, Mr Ali.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09PHONE VIBRATES
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Look, normally, I would never leave without going down and seeing her.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22You know that, but...
0:42:22 > 0:42:25I just have to today. Sorry.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26Marth, shall I come with you?
0:42:26 > 0:42:29No. Thank you.
0:42:46 > 0:42:47Just relax.
0:42:49 > 0:42:54The, er...the letter that they sent me said that it's interesting
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- and instructive.- Erm, yeah.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59It's just a squirt of local anaesthetic.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03- Might feel a little bit cold.- OK.
0:43:03 > 0:43:04Here we go.
0:43:06 > 0:43:07You all right?
0:43:11 > 0:43:14So, the uncomfortable part
0:43:14 > 0:43:17is when the camera's in and I have to get it past the sphincter muscle.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20I thought the sphincter was...
0:43:20 > 0:43:23You sure you got the right opening here, doc?
0:43:23 > 0:43:27The sphincter wants to keep the camera out.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30And, er, we need to get it in.
0:43:30 > 0:43:31Ready?
0:43:39 > 0:43:41Jesus Christ.
0:43:41 > 0:43:42Breathe.
0:43:53 > 0:43:54Yeah, there are some issues here.
0:44:44 > 0:44:45Do you want me to call her?
0:45:07 > 0:45:10Florence? It's Martha.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15I don't know what to say.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25Our only chance now is for you to give evidence.
0:45:27 > 0:45:29Fatima?
0:45:46 > 0:45:49My father died ten years ago.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51I miss him.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56I sometimes wish I'd been at home to look after him.
0:45:59 > 0:46:02But it wasn't my fault that I wanted more.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05And I won't feel guilty about that. Ever.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10Because guilt eats you up and then you don't have a life.
0:46:13 > 0:46:14And I want my life.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20Call Fatima Ali.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29His name is Lloyd Naysmith.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34He's a local councillor and he offered to help me.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38So I went to his house.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40And what happened?
0:46:40 > 0:46:42He was kind to me.
0:46:44 > 0:46:46He said he would look at the law for me
0:46:46 > 0:46:48and see if the arranged marriage could be stopped.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54He made me feel my life could be different.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59I didn't feel I could say no to him.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06No to what?
0:47:06 > 0:47:07Fatima?
0:47:11 > 0:47:13To what he wanted.
0:47:14 > 0:47:16Point of law, your honour.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20Jury out, please.
0:47:27 > 0:47:31None of this, not one bit of it, is in the defence case statement.
0:47:31 > 0:47:35How is the Crown supposed to react to a defence case
0:47:35 > 0:47:38that hasn't been put to any prosecution witness,
0:47:38 > 0:47:41that comes out of the blue nine tenths of the way through the trial
0:47:41 > 0:47:43and is, basically, an ambushing of justice?
0:47:43 > 0:47:45Of course it isn't in the defence case statement.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49Do you know how hard it is for this woman
0:47:49 > 0:47:52to stand up there today in the witness box? Do you?
0:47:52 > 0:47:54My learned friend is becoming very personal.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57Well, maybe sometimes it is personal.
0:47:58 > 0:48:03So, let's hear it now. From the witness. Once and for all.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06Ms Warwick. You may cross examine
0:48:06 > 0:48:09on her failure to mention any of this before now.
0:48:09 > 0:48:10You may also cross examine
0:48:10 > 0:48:14on her failure to include it in her defence case statement.
0:48:14 > 0:48:16Jury back, please.
0:48:32 > 0:48:33Fatima.
0:48:36 > 0:48:42Tell us what happened that night in your home
0:48:42 > 0:48:43with your family.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17Sorry.
0:49:19 > 0:49:20Tell me.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26You can do it for me.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40Mustapha pushed me down on the table.
0:49:44 > 0:49:46I couldn't fight him.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52He held my mouth open with one hand...
0:49:56 > 0:49:59..and he poured the whisky into my mouth with the other.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06It went all over me and down my throat.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11I thought I was going to drown.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18He stopped to shout at me.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23He called me a whore.
0:50:24 > 0:50:27I grabbed the bottle from him.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30I smashed it on the table...
0:50:31 > 0:50:36..so he couldn't pour any more whisky down me.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44Then he came at me.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51Sorry.
0:50:51 > 0:50:54I'm so sorry!
0:51:07 > 0:51:09Too late.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18BANGING
0:51:47 > 0:51:49I know about the Ali family.
0:51:49 > 0:51:51What?
0:51:51 > 0:51:53They're on Jody's patch.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55Oh, don't tell me. Jody doesn't like non-whites?
0:51:55 > 0:51:57Jody doesn't like competition.
0:51:57 > 0:51:58Competition?
0:51:59 > 0:52:01What are you doing?
0:52:05 > 0:52:07High quality heroin.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10- Where did that come from? - This bag left the Ali house with the younger brother
0:52:10 > 0:52:13after the unfortunate incident with the bottle
0:52:13 > 0:52:16and before the arrival of the emergency service.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18The 24 minute gap.
0:52:18 > 0:52:23They're all over it - fingerprints, DNA. Bag and contents.
0:52:23 > 0:52:24I won't ask how you...
0:52:24 > 0:52:26No, you won't.
0:52:28 > 0:52:29What do you want?
0:52:29 > 0:52:32I'll give you the slam dunk.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34Fatima walks.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37- And what's in it for you? - Take this from me
0:52:37 > 0:52:40and you're free to start the Jody Farr trial on Monday morning.
0:52:40 > 0:52:41Do you think I'd make a good clerk?
0:52:43 > 0:52:46If this is a drugs thing, why weren't the police interested
0:52:46 > 0:52:49when I told them about the black bag leaving with Ibrahim?
0:52:49 > 0:52:52Last thing they want is a domestic like this blowing open the whole story.
0:52:52 > 0:52:54Story?
0:52:54 > 0:52:56The Ali's import heroin.
0:52:56 > 0:52:59They have all sorts of connections in all sorts of places.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02The police haven't finished looking at those connections,
0:53:02 > 0:53:03working out how big it all is.
0:53:05 > 0:53:06End of trial.
0:53:06 > 0:53:10If you say yes to Jody.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54Counsel to counsel.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56You and me and nobody else.
0:53:59 > 0:54:02- The police had the Ali house under surveillance.- What?
0:54:02 > 0:54:04- Drugs.- What? They didn't...
0:54:04 > 0:54:09They didn't tell you or anyone because they haven't finished yet.
0:54:09 > 0:54:10How the hell do you know?
0:54:10 > 0:54:12I can't tell you.
0:54:12 > 0:54:16- So how do I know it's true? - Would I lie to you?
0:54:16 > 0:54:19And if you really don't believe me, then go and ask the drugs squad.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21Bloody hell.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23So we can recall all the police witnesses
0:54:23 > 0:54:26and I can cross examine them on their failure
0:54:26 > 0:54:27to disclose any of this
0:54:27 > 0:54:30and we can recall Ibrahim and cross examine him
0:54:30 > 0:54:33on being a major drug dealer.
0:54:33 > 0:54:34Oh, and then the jury can see
0:54:34 > 0:54:37what nasty pieces of work Fatima's been living with.
0:54:39 > 0:54:40Or I can stop this trial right now
0:54:40 > 0:54:43and throw the book at a bunch of bastard coppers
0:54:43 > 0:54:46who think they can get away with whatever they want.
0:54:46 > 0:54:49I'm a prosecutor through and through, Martha,
0:54:49 > 0:54:51but I will not tolerate being lied to by anyone.
0:54:52 > 0:54:54I quite like your way of doing it.
0:54:59 > 0:55:02They didn't tell me, they didn't tell the CPS,
0:55:02 > 0:55:04the defence has been kept in the dark
0:55:04 > 0:55:07about the real character of prosecution witnesses,
0:55:07 > 0:55:12which is about as unfair and unjust as it's possible to get.
0:55:14 > 0:55:16End of trial...ladies.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43Now, listen to me.
0:55:44 > 0:55:46This is very important.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50There's going to be a great deal of fuss over the next days
0:55:50 > 0:55:52and weeks to come, about how the police have behaved here.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54And it really matters.
0:55:54 > 0:56:00But I don't want it to get in the way of the most important thing.
0:56:00 > 0:56:05You are an innocent woman. You are not guilty of anything.
0:56:05 > 0:56:09And that's everything. You've got a new start in your life.
0:56:09 > 0:56:11Take it.
0:56:57 > 0:56:59Drink with me.
0:56:59 > 0:57:01Please.
0:57:33 > 0:57:35You OK?
0:57:36 > 0:57:38It's six o'clock in the Caribbean.
0:57:40 > 0:57:42To the Caribbean.
0:57:45 > 0:57:48- You have to laugh, don't you? - Or what?
0:57:48 > 0:57:52Or you go home and sit there and cry your bloody heart out.
0:57:56 > 0:57:58What is it?
0:57:58 > 0:57:59Nothing.
0:58:01 > 0:58:02Tomorrow is another day.
0:58:06 > 0:58:08Tomorrow is Jody Farr.
0:58:09 > 0:58:12Police officers are bent.
0:58:12 > 0:58:15The evidence isn't strong enough. People get off.
0:58:16 > 0:58:18You're trapped.
0:58:19 > 0:58:21- Aren't you? - Everybody's guilty.
0:58:21 > 0:58:24When and why do police officers get neurotic?
0:58:24 > 0:58:27- When they've got someone on the inside.- You're dead. You know that?
0:58:27 > 0:58:30I watched you defend Brendan Kay with everything you had.
0:58:30 > 0:58:33- What are you doing representing his killer?- We all have a choice.
0:58:33 > 0:58:34What's it taken?
0:58:34 > 0:58:36To corrupt Martha Costello?
