2
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,717
Yeah, you've been watching
too much... What is it?
3
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,518
- Formula 1!
- Formula 1!
4
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,477
I'll beat you any day, Gran.
5
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,075
- You know, you should be pushing me.
- Oh, there we go.
6
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,834
Okay?
7
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,071
You won't go and leave
me? Like your poor mum.
8
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,994
Mum's dead, Nan. She is.
9
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,670
I sometimes wonder if you
know more than you let on,
10
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,716
in that world of yours.
11
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,510
Police are mounting a reconstruction
of Geri Landers last known movements,
12
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,909
hoping it would jog someone's memory.
13
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,754
Geri was savagely beaten to
death on the way home from work.
14
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,315
Anyone with any information should
contact the incident room on O1273...
15
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:35,995
Gary! Food's on the table.
16
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,995
You're supposed to clear up.
17
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,239
I don't know why I keep putting
food on the table for you,
18
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,912
or her in there.
19
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,915
I don't want none.
20
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,673
Starve then. See if I care.
21
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,354
So, if you'd just sign there and there.
22
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,311
- Keeping out of trouble, Gary?
- I did it.
23
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,676
- It was me. I did.
- What did you did, Gary?
24
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,719
I killed... I killed Geri. I
followed her to Bluebell Wood.
25
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,518
Is this just another story, Gary?
26
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,272
I did it!
27
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,750
I hit her with an iron bar
then I thrown it in the park.
28
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:40,391
I did it, I did it! It's
my fault. I did do it!
29
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,837
- Anything interesting, Mr Harrison?
- A fraud case, my lord.
30
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:50,878
You may have read about it,
the ECO mortgage scandal.
31
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,556
- Oh, can't we dump it on somebody else?
- I thought you'd welcome it, my lord.
32
00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:58,916
Two lawyers accused of
falsifying mortgage records.
33
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,709
They hold 900 mortgages
worth some �120 million.
34
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,034
They fall behind on their payment?
35
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,313
Hope we get a good jury, Coop.
36
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,992
John, the clerk of number two told the list
officer you had precedence in a case I'm hearing,
37
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,991
the ECO mortgage fraud.
38
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:26,435
I've done a lot of the background work.
It's one of those victimless crimes.
39
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,957
- Didn't know there was such a thing.
- I'm not even sure there's a prima facie case.
40
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,157
Well, either way, you're the
answer to my prayer, Robert.
41
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,151
Would you like to send your
clerk around for the papers?
42
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,309
No.
43
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,158
Was he afraid you might change your mind?
44
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,149
Yes!
45
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,390
I need to get back in
shape. Far too easy for you.
46
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,393
I saw Jo Mills at the
Bailey the other day.
47
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,079
- She never mentioned it.
- Oh, we had lunch.
48
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,355
Is it all over with you?
49
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,752
Do you have a case there?
50
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:27,718
Oh, I'm keeping an eye on something.
51
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,475
- You didn't answer my question.
- What, you planning to take her out?
52
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,438
No. Not if it causes us problems.
53
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,156
If she went out with you, Row, she'd
realise just what good value I am.
54
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,073
- You're hearing the ECO mortgage fraud?
- Not any more.
55
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,435
Judge Home nearly ran me down to get it.
56
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,830
- Was it in your list?
- Not according to Robert Home.
57
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,992
Any possibility he's
behaving fraudulently?
58
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,230
I very much doubt it.
59
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,518
Is that what you know or want to believe?
60
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:10,155
Well, doesn't the old school tie system tend
to discourage corrupt judges in this country?
61
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,674
Two were investigated last year.
62
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,430
- The Attorney issued a nolle.
- There was no case to answer.
63
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,751
They're members of the
same club as the Attorney.
64
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:22,398
You're getting cynical, Row.
65
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,951
The police suspect a network
of corrupt lawyers, all Masons.
66
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,918
There has to be a judge or two among them.
67
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,238
Is that what you know or want to believe?
68
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,757
It's the only way it
could work consistently.
69
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,279
Is this an on-going investigation?
70
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,716
Not going anywhere.
They can't nail a judge.
71
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,468
Or daren't.
72
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,398
- You've never refused me before.
- I'm older and wiser.
73
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,550
Well, older, anyway.
74
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,632
You should let it go. It's past.
75
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:10,274
You don't have to go with me, Jo.
76
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,875
Old habits are hard to break.
77
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,434
There are new means of
testing forensic evidence.
78
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,796
I'm determined to get this before
the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
79
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,475
It'll be another 12
years. What could be new?
80
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,869
Jimmy Darvall telling
us who really did it.
81
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,119
- I've become a Buddhist, Mr Deed.
- You can still proclaim your innocence, Jimmy.
82
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,317
Being in prison isn't
important. It's karma.
83
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,315
But if you tell us who really did it, you'll
give him the chance to pay off his karma.
84
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,799
That's possible, Jo.
85
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,269
Then you agree that there
was a third party in the room?
86
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,592
- I can still see that axe in my hand.
- An axe without your fingerprints on it.
87
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,752
I must accept what your
father-in-law said in his summing up.
88
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:05,877
Mr Justice Channing said
that I wiped the handle clean.
89
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,758
No cloth with blood on it was ever found.
90
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,633
Some things are inexplicable, Mr Deed.
91
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,788
- Are they treating you all right?
- Oh, yes.
92
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,192
The food's wonderful.
93
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,991
I'm gonna keep looking.
94
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,276
Jimmy Darvall didn't kill his wife.
95
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,796
I'm as convinced now as I was
12 years ago when I defended him.
96
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,316
Your capacity for emotional
involvement never ceases to amaze me.
97
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,996
The law isn't a trade in inanimate objects,
Joe. It's about people, human judgements.
98
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,153
If there is even the faintest whiff of
injustice, we should be entitled to investigate.
99
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,279
- The police found no evidence for a third party.
- They didn't look beyond Jimmy Darvall.
100
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,271
Well, presumably they
didn't think it necessary.
101
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,920
That's one of the weaknesses
of the judicial system.
102
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,039
- The police work for the prosecution virtually.
- So we have to rely on the police in these matters.
103
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,317
- And have even more miscarriages of justice.
- Hysterical nonsense.
104
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,914
Joe, you were the trial judge.
105
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,673
Only you can sanction my
seeing the prosecution evidence.
106
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,070
I am not inclined to help.
The verdict was correct.
107
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,710
Then I'll find another way.
108
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,951
So long as you don't use your
own judicial powers to look,
109
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,759
that would be entirely improper,
110
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,832
and keep you off the
Appellate Bench forever.
111
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,596
Before I hear your opening, Mr Brill,
I'd like to see counsel in chambers.
112
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,794
You could get yourselves some coffee.
113
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,872
All rise.
114
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,238
Is this case ready to go to a jury, Clive?
115
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,357
- The CPS believes it.
- On this evidence?
116
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,113
A confession from a suspect
with a mental age of 13?
117
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,033
A solicitor was present
and an appropriate adult.
118
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,590
He did then subsequently
withdraw his confession.
119
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:14,433
There is strong forensic evidence.
120
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,150
He had the dead girl's bloodstained
scarf. Her blood was on his clothes.
121
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,392
His glasses and an earring belonging
to him were found at the scene.
122
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,993
And what do you have to say?
123
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,072
Without the confession he made in
the first place, we wouldn't be here.
124
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,438
Presumably the CPS has some basis
for their optimism. Let me hear it.
125
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,952
At the time of making his confession,
how did Gary Patterson behave?
126
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,837
I'd say he was distraught.
127
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,911
You said you knew the young man.
128
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,356
Yes, sir. He'd come into the
station from time to time for a chat.
129
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,671
- Had you seen him in this state before?
- No, sir.
130
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,591
Thank you, Sergeant.
131
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:54,274
Remind me when you made your note.
132
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,920
It was shortly after I
called the murder squad.
133
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,639
How long after he made his confession?
134
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,956
Fifteen minutes, my lord. It's
a contemporaneous note, sir.
135
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,156
Well, not quite.
136
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,715
But I do understand the difficulty
of getting such notes down.
137
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,351
Why wasn't he cautioned immediately
after he made his confession, Sergeant?
138
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,032
- We were a little taken aback, miss.
- Because you didn't believe him?
139
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,432
- No, he had all the right facts.
- Facts anyone could have gathered, surely.
140
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,432
- I don't know, miss.
- Lf you think about it, Sergeant,
141
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,877
you'll find that all the information that
Gary Patterson had was in the public domain.
142
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,670
My lord, is my learned friend
making her closing speech?
143
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:41,036
- Are you, Mrs Mills?
- I have no further questions.
144
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:45,399
Thank you, Sergeant. You can step down.
145
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,631
Was there something else?
146
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:54,988
No, sir.
147
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,834
With your leave, my lord, my next
witness, Detective Superintendent Craddock,
148
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,957
is likely to be on for a good while.
149
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,874
In view of the hour, might it not be
sensible to call him first thing tomorrow?
150
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,235
We should at least get started.
151
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,436
Superintendent, after you charged
Gary Patterson with murder,
152
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,877
could you tell the court what you
found in his room at his father's house?
153
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,033
Lots of newspaper photos of the
dead girl pinned to his wall.
154
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,910
- Did you draw any conclusion from that?
- He appeared to be obsessed with the victim.
155
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,549
Did you find anything else in his room
that was relevant to the investigation?
156
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,915
A number of items belonging to Geri.
157
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,879
A cheap bracelet, a mitten, two
Sprite cans with her lipstick on
158
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,272
and a scarf her mother identified Geri
was wearing on the day of her death.
159
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,112
It was bloodstained.
160
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,191
- Did you identify this blood?
- Yes, it was Geri Landers'.
161
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,113
Did the defendant say how
he came by these items,
162
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,634
including the bloodstained scarf?
163
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,191
He said he found them.
164
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,677
- Did you believe him?
- I didn't disbelieve him.
165
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,514
I asked him if he saw her
drop them. He said he did.
166
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,752
- So you didn't believe him to be a liar?
- I believed his confession.
167
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,593
Did you believe him when he said
he found the bloodstained scarf?
168
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:16,715
No.
169
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,190
So you chose only to believe
the things that suited your case?
170
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,033
No, that logic told me were true.
171
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,271
Is it possible that he could've
stumbled across the body?
172
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,072
It's possible.
173
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,958
There had been no attempt to conceal it?
174
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,919
She lay where she fell. The
surrounding undergrowth was flattened.
175
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,831
Did you ascertain how?
176
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,317
Could the young woman
have met a lover there?
177
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,755
The undergrowth was
minutely searched for clues.
178
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,515
There was nothing apart from a gold
earring and a pair of spectacles.
179
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,637
- And who found these items?
- The scenes of crime officers, sir.
180
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,915
Are you calling them, Mr Brill?
181
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,592
Um...
182
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:58,911
Not unless Your Lordship
wants to question them.
183
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:02,997
The defence accepts
the witness' statements.
184
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,559
Did you establish whose glasses they were?
185
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,710
The glasses and earring
belonged to the defendant.
186
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,112
Might it be sensible if I
cross-examined the witness?
187
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,035
Yes.
188
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:22,638
How do you know that these
glasses belonged to the defendant?
189
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,233
He identified them as his.
190
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,835
And you knew that he sometimes told
the truth, when it suited your case.
191
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,276
- Were they found under the body?
- No, on the undergrowth.
192
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,353
- Was there blood on the undergrowth?
- Yes, there was a lot of blood spray.
193
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,237
Generally or directional?
194
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,518
Mostly between nine and
twelve on the clock face.
195
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,718
- Was there blood on the glasses?
- Yes, about eight or nine flecks.
196
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,519
- Did Mr Patterson have blood on his clothes?
- He did.
197
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,273
Clothes you identified that
he was wearing at the time?
198
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,349
Yes.
199
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,078
How much blood was on him?
200
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,755
Two spots on his jeans and several
more on the welts of his trainers.
201
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,310
- But not on the tops of his trainers?
- None were found there.
202
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,710
Superintendent, if none were
found, it means none were there.
203
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,233
Yes, my lord.
204
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,671
What violence do you judge was used
to inflict these fatal injuries?
205
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,193
Like someone gone berserk.
206
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,511
- Causing a wide spray pattern of blood...
- Yes.
207
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,034
...that didn't spray his clothes?
208
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,673
How is that?
209
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,639
I can't say.
210
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,636
In view of the hour, Mrs Mills, I
think this might be a convenient moment.
211
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,718
All rise.
212
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,078
My great-nephew's rowing at Henley.
I hope we'll get time out, Robert.
213
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,276
I'm sure we can arrange that, James.
214
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,634
Morning.
215
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,400
Is that the judge who's having
an affair with his clerk?
216
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:55,993
Who's that with Judge Home?
217
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,356
The defence barrister in the ECO
mortgage fraud, Sir James Valentine.
218
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,353
- No, the other one.
- Oh, that's Marcus Hargreaves, solicitor.
219
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,277
Could you get me a favour
from one of your friends?
220
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,477
I need details of some old fraud cases.
221
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,118
I don't want anybody to know about it.
222
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,714
I'm sure I can find someone, Judge.
223
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,669
If I'm wrong about this, Coop,
224
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,830
it could do a lot of damage.
225
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,953
Am I ever going to get to meet this man?
226
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,235
I think Henry's a bit nervous of you.
227
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,472
Can he reasonably go on teaching
you if you're having a relationship?
228
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,633
He's not likely to give me good
marks just 'cause we're going out.
229
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,318
Do you have a bright friend who
could do some legal research for me?
230
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,790
- Depends how much it pays.
- He'd need to be computer literate.
231
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,913
Dad, there are no
computer-illiterate students.
232
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,992
More than anything,
they'd need to be discreet.
233
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,516
That might be a stretch. Everyone
wants to talk to the media.
234
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,908
So why are you being so secretive?
235
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,958
Ajudge might be behaving corruptly.
236
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,238
Cool.
237
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,757
It hardly describes how I'll be
treated if I've got this wrong, Chaz.
238
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,071
- So why bother, then?
- Why bother about anything?
239
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,436
Why bother about what's
happening to animals?
240
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,353
Because they're victims. I
thought this was victimless.
241
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,831
Nobody's being mugged, but falsifying
mortgage records is a crime.
242
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,755
The what-can-I-get-away-with attitude
that our society tolerates degrades us all.
243
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,035
Look, you mustn't let this get to you.
244
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,235
Am I?
245
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,157
You barely noticed the
two pretty waitresses.
246
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,715
I probably thought they were too young.
247
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,394
Carol's quite old. She's nearly 40.
248
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,996
Nearly 40. Are you
kidding? That's far too old.
249
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,832
What would I have to do on these cases?
250
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,115
Try to find a common thread.
251
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,995
This could cause a huge scandal.
252
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,038
Takes a lot to scandalise
us nowadays, Chaz.
253
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,115
Hey. How's it going?
254
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,636
- Are you
Carol? - Mmm-hmm.
255
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:36,590
Charlie was right. Ow.
256
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,031
- We'll have a bottle of the house red, please.
- Sure.
257
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:45,318
- This is my dad, Carol.
- Oh, your dad. I thought it was your date.
258
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,718
Well, I suppose I could stretch a point.
259
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,313
She seeing anybody?
260
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,710
- Aren't you seeing Jo any more?
- I see her in court.
261
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,552
Superintendent Craddock, let's
consider the forensic evidence.
262
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,791
The murder weapon, were Gary's
fingerprints on the murder weapon?
263
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,395
No, but he showed us exactly
where he'd thrown it in the pond.
264
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,598
Did you consider that this
slightly obsessed young man
265
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,069
might have followed the victim
266
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,073
and witnessed her murder and seen where
the real murderer threw the murder weapon?
267
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,152
I'm in the business of collecting
evidence. If that had been the case,
268
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,232
he would have made a witness
statement, not a confession.
269
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,629
But if he were feeling
guilty about following her...
270
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,918
That's a question for a psychiatrist,
Mrs Mills. Are you calling one?
271
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,672
- I'm not.
- No.
272
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,550
Didn't think I recalled
seeing a report in the bundles.
273
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,713
Let us return to the
blood on Gary's clothing.
274
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,270
This was found to have the
same DNA profile as Geri's.
275
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:48,918
Yes.
276
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,151
Have you seen the results
of the independent DNA tests
277
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,596
the defence had done on the
two spots of blood on his jeans?
278
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:56,908
Yes.
279
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,913
- Do you recall the results?
- They didn't match. Ours did.
280
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,116
Are you submitting this report, Mrs Mills?
281
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,953
It's item 2D in your bundle, my lord.
282
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,718
When Gary was making his confession,
283
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,519
did he say what he'd been
doing since the murder?
284
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,876
No. He'd been at home. He doesn't work.
285
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,476
- Did he mention his bedridden nan?
- No, but I believe he looked after her.
286
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,189
He'd looked after her since the
death of his mother when he was 12.
287
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,512
Hardly the profile of a
stone-cold killer, Superintendent.
288
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,830
Is that a question, Mrs Mills?
289
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,319
I have no further questions.
Thank you, Superintendent.
290
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,750
What are you doing?
291
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,594
- Why, you made me jump.
- What are you doing down here?
292
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,753
- Research. I'm doing research.
- You shouldn't be here on your own.
293
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:37,353
- Well, where's Denis? The man who let me in?
- He's gone off duty.
294
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,358
It's nearly 8:OO.
295
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,672
Oh, I missed my bus.
296
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,074
Who gave you permission to be here?
297
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,832
Denis Marlowe said. I'm doing
work for my dad, Mr Justice Deed.
298
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,158
Oh.
299
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,037
Why didn't you say?
300
00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:00,157
- Are you taking those out, miss?
- Is that okay?
301
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,838
Write the folio and
case number in the book.
302
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,668
I blew your cover, Dad, I
didn't realise Denis had gone.
303
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,593
Something like this is hard to keep quiet.
304
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,269
Maybe Coop will cover our trail.
305
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,198
Dr Vaughan, would you
please examine exhibit 1 A,
306
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,475
and tell the jury what it is?
307
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,954
An iron bar, 70 centimetres long,
weighing 1.2 kilos and pitted with rust.
308
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,995
It was used to murder Geri Lander.
309
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,514
- You are certain of that, Dr Vaughan?
- Yes.
310
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,353
I examined it as part of
the scene of crime evidence.
311
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,715
I found blood and particles of
hair clinging to the surface.
312
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,836
Both DNA matched to Geri.
313
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:01,392
How does blood and hair remain on an iron
bar submerged in water for eight days?
314
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,634
In the absence of an emulsifier, such
as washing-up liquid or agitation,
315
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,236
minute amounts of oxygen encapsulate
the blood and hair and keep them inert.
316
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,436
It takes quite a lot to wash off blood.
317
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,671
- The blood was type O, the most common type?
- Yes.
318
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,957
Do you know what blood
group Gary Patterson is?
319
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,795
Blood type O, but the DNA is specific
to Geri's and not Gary Patterson's blood.
320
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,516
You visited the scene of the crime?
321
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,398
Several times, to measure the
blood spread on the undergrowth,
322
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,630
the angle of projectile in blood.
323
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,234
You concluded that the blows
to the left side of her head
324
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,629
meant that the assailant
was right-handed.
325
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:44,556
"Blood projected to the left and rear
left. " Would any have sprayed forward?
326
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,874
There was blood in a forward position.
327
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,552
Much blood?
328
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,475
Yes, the blows that shattered the skull bone
cut the left anterior arterial to the brain.
329
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,554
In your report, marked K
in your bundle, my lord,
330
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,835
you comment on the defendant's clothing.
331
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,673
Indeed, we do have the
trousers in question.
332
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,470
The police identified the jeans the defendant
was wearing on the night of the murder.
333
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,235
You examined these trousers.
Had they been washed?
334
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,675
No, I found blood matched to the victim's.
335
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,116
Remind the jury how much
blood was found on the garment.
336
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,432
One smear that matched the girl's blood
and a trace that also matched hers.
337
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,308
- There was no other blood on the jeans?
- No, my lord.
338
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,831
Dr Vaughan, could there be other
spots of blood that you failed to test?
339
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,670
No, I tested all the blood there.
340
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,550
How do you explain so little blood
following such a savage attack?
341
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,071
Um, my lord...
342
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:53,918
I'm not quite sure of procedure with
Your Lordship cross-examining the witness,
343
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,039
but you are calling for speculation
on the part of this witness.
344
00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:00,714
Deduction, Mr Brill, deduction.
345
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,712
All the difference in
the world. Dr Vaughan.
346
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:05,839
A number of reasons.
347
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,152
The girl may have put her hands up
and prevented front forward spray.
348
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,678
The photos don't show
blood on the victim's hands.
349
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:23,353
Well, perhaps it might be sensible to hold a
view so the jury can see the scene of the crime.
350
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,557
Then we can all see exactly
where the blood went.
351
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,196
I thought your judge didn't want
anything known about this, Rita.
352
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,273
- Oh, Ben Goldin found her down here.
- She was entitled to be here, I said.
353
00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:37,591
Can we do anything about
these entries, Denis?
354
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:38,954
Not really.
355
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:44,273
If I tear that page out, it'll only draw
attention to what it is you're trying to hide.
356
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,992
The undergrowth was hardly
grown at the time of the attack.
357
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,957
What there was had been trampled.
358
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,635
The red flags, sir, show the
pattern at its most dense.
359
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,589
It's a radius of about ten feet.
- Yes, most of the blood at four feet.
360
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,036
Can we assume that the attacker
stood in front of the victim?
361
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:11,315
Yes, sir, just to her right.
362
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:15,590
And the blood is
thinnest right behind him.
363
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,039
Why wasn't there more blood on the clothing?
Are we sure of the clothes he was wearing?
364
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,190
Her blood was on his jeans.
365
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:29,553
Well, possibly Mr Patterson will explain the
absence of blood to us if he gives evidence.
366
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,039
I'm sure he will.
367
00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:34,396
- Where were the glasses found?
- Alongside the body.
368
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,912
What did that tell the police?
369
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,878
That the murderer dropped
them in the struggle.
370
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,678
Are they Gary Patterson's glasses?
371
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,957
Yes, he identified them as being
his when he confessed, my lord.
372
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,591
He withdrew his confession, but not his
admission that they were his glasses.
373
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,955
Did he volunteer that
he'd lost his glasses
374
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,953
or did you tell him that you'd
found his glasses next to the body?
375
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,315
I don't remember, my lord.
376
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,913
Perhaps we should jog your memory.
377
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,678
We found some spectacles by
Geri's body. Do you recognise them?
378
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,116
The suspect nodded. Is that "yes", Gary?
379
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,355
Yes. Yeah, I lost them that night.
380
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,557
Had Mr Patterson mentioned losing
his glasses before this interview?
381
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,756
You can answer from there.
382
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,035
I... I don't recall, my lord.
383
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,269
We only seem to have his
word that they're his glasses.
384
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,629
Has the defence checked Mr Patterson's
prescription against these glasses?
385
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,349
- We're still trying to do that.
- Why is it taking so long?
386
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,637
- I'm conducting the defence, my lord.
- Hmm.
387
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,111
I dare say we're all grateful that
murder now only carries a life sentence.
388
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,033
I agree with Your Lordship, in
the light of your taking over
389
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:55,033
the conduct of the prosecution
and defence in a murder trial.
390
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,918
Until the morning.
391
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:05,874
All rise.
392
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,308
There's a pattern even
in the first four cases.
393
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,075
- Did you stay up all night?
- It's exciting once you find a way in.
394
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,277
Connection one, all the
defendants were acquitted.
395
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,158
Two, all were so-called
victimless crimes.
396
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,755
Three judges were involved, including
Robert Home. They all went to Oxford.
397
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,550
- So did two thirds of all judges, including me.
- All were members of Brown's.
398
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,596
Your starter for 10.
What's the other connection?
399
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,877
Wearing aprons and rolling
up their trouser legs?
400
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,589
- Haven't had time to check if they're Masons yet.
- Row Colemore can do that.
401
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,390
The instructing solicitors on the fraud case
in front of Judge Home, Westwake Hargreaves,
402
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,950
were the instructing solicitors
on most of the other fraud cases.
403
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,272
- Westwake Hargreaves? You sure?
- I think so. Look, I found this.
404
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,438
- That's Judge Home.
- Where did you get this?
405
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,351
From the clerk at Judge
Home's old chambers.
406
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,671
- That's Peter Hargreaves.
- Yes, I know.
407
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,671
It's an eerie coincidence.
408
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,470
Peter Hargreaves was the instructing
solicitor when I defended Jimmy Darvall.
409
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,033
- Was that a fraud case?
- No, murder.
410
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,715
These solicitors are connected
to most of the fraud cases.
411
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,916
Was that stupid or what?
412
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,592
That's what I was thinking
at 3:OO in the morning
413
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,069
with too much caffeine
swilling around in my brain.
414
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,513
I started to get paranoid, thinking,
415
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,319
"I'm being set up. Someone
wants me to find this. "
416
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,915
Then I think, "No, get some sleep
and just review it in the morning. "
417
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,353
Conclusion?
418
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,159
They're not stupid, Dad.
They're just overconfident.
419
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,031
Porcini boccone is great.
420
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,712
That's a lot of food. You
could share it with your guest.
421
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,711
Oh, he's not that type.
422
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,435
- What do you do when you get off work?
- I go home to bed.
423
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,437
That is a novel idea.
424
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,913
- Charlie said you're a High Court judge.
- We go to bed, too.
425
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,714
Don't believe a word he says.
426
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,069
Carol is trying to persuade me to
share the porcini boccone with you.
427
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,037
Do we have that sort of relationship?
428
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,910
Oh, let's just have a bottle of
the organic house red, please.
429
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,479
Okay.
430
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,231
Great legs, John.
431
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,151
Great mind, too.
432
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,118
She's a mature student
reading philosophy at Sussex.
433
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,679
Why spoil it?
434
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,076
You had dinner with Jo Mills.
435
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:41,909
Yes.
436
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,831
Go anywhere interesting?
437
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,158
No, her place.
438
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,948
- You don't mind?
- No, said I didn't.
439
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,955
There's not a bit of
meat on the entire menu.
440
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,669
At least it guarantees we
won't see any judges or lawyers.
441
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,317
I think we might have found
something on this fraud case.
442
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,118
Well, at least Charlie has.
443
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,674
You're a Mason, aren't you, Row?
444
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,070
Was that the connection?
Pretty weak cement.
445
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,469
It's not what holds them together.
446
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,358
- Well, money's a powerful magnet.
- Maybe.
447
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,796
Coupled with a wonky rationale
like victimless crime.
448
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,753
Here we are.
449
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:35,470
- I think we're ready to order, Carol.
- I put myself entirely in your hands, Carol.
450
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,994
Talk to me, Denis.
451
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,469
- What happened?
- What do you think?
452
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,710
- They're moving me.
- Because you helped the judge?
453
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,870
I'm being moved to Aylesbury.
454
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,317
- Well, did you talk to the union?
- Nothing they can do. It's a transfer.
455
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,317
- He's convinced it's as a result of helping us?
- Yeah.
456
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,277
Perhaps I should speak to the resider.
457
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,079
I don't think it'll do any good, Judge.
458
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,319
- Ah, John.
- Good afternoon, Michael, Ian.
459
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,080
One of our circuit judges
has complained about you
460
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,913
interfering with the course
of a case he's hearing.
461
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,274
Really?
462
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,399
And how does he know what it is
that I'm supposed to have done?
463
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,755
I'm not sure we should
even discuss it without him.
464
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,957
Better here and now
than when it's too late.
465
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,953
Action outside of a court
can be entirely misconstrued.
466
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,758
You must be careful, John.
467
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,912
What is it that he thinks
that I'm supposed to have done?
468
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,798
It seems you've been examining his cases.
469
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:48,034
Here and where he sat previously as a
recorder, in order to affect his current case.
470
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,271
Well, that's a pretty serious indictment.
471
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,673
Have you been doing as he suggests?
472
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,116
If you have any suspicions, you should
bring them to the Lord Chancellor.
473
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,475
These cases are a matter of public record.
474
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,233
Judges tend to trust one another, John.
475
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,314
There are rumours of a judge being
involved with the solicitors on trial here
476
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,231
in the ECO mortgage fraud.
477
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,754
Perhaps you should wait and
see what comes out in evidence.
478
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,831
It's a closed world, Michael,
479
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,595
supported by the old boy
network clubs and Masonic Lodges.
480
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,638
As far as I know, Mason's
only do charitable work.
481
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,073
Ah.
482
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:29,678
You'll do both the bench and the department
more harm than good by fuelling these rumours.
483
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,549
You'll have every judge
in the country against you.
484
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,599
- Do you want such a response from your brothers?
- So what's new?
485
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,879
If you ever find anything that troubles
you, come to us, John, there's a good fellow.
486
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,316
We are the proper authority
to examine such matters.
487
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,759
This is Charlie Deed.
Please leave a message.
488
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,549
Charlie, it's me, I hope you're
safely tucked up in a lecture.
489
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,918
This is getting complicated. The
forces of reaction want us to stop.
490
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,274
Call me.
491
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,149
- Any luck?
- Got a couple of items.
492
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,759
Is there a programme where I
can run a search on names alone?
493
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,274
There is. It'll cost you.
494
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,157
- How about a cappuccino?
- Make it a skinny latte and you've got a deal.
495
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,994
You have to specify the name.
496
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,959
If you just say Green, you'll get
everyone called Green with share interests.
497
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:07,034
- Well, I can be fairly detailed.
- Okay, let's get this search horse up and running.
498
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,116
What name do you want a search on?
499
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,998
Robert Alexander Randolph Home.
500
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,433
At least he isn't John Smith!
501
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,832
He owns 80,OOO shares
in Amax Conversions PLC.
502
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,832
Go into Amax. See how
his shares are allotted.
503
00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:32,676
It doesn't work.
504
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,399
It's a blind trust for
people like politicians
505
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,109
who need to be seen to be
given up their vested interests.
506
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,836
See if any other names on
my list are holders in Amax.
507
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,753
Try Sir James Valentine.
508
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,796
All the names you gave
me, bar one, are Masons.
509
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,792
- Who's the exception?
- Marcus Hargreaves.
510
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,838
He's one of the partners
of Westwake Hargreaves.
511
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,435
He took his brother's place
when he died last year.
512
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,229
John, the Mason's aren't proscribed.
513
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,629
I'm simply looking for a thread.
514
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:10,629
Well, there's no indication
on criminal intent.
515
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:13,314
No, Charlie's working on it.
516
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,670
Stop him. Somebody stop him!
517
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:39,114
Mr Collins, how often did Gary
Patterson come into your chemist shop?
518
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,239
Quite often, to get
his nan's prescriptions.
519
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,436
Did Geri serve him on those occasions?
520
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,718
If she was on the pharmacy side. I
was encouraging her to learn pharmacy.
521
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,552
She was a very bright girl.
522
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,712
She was planning to try for
an Open University degree.
523
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,075
How did she react to the defendant?
524
00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,073
She was very nice to him. She
was so very nice to everyone.
525
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,469
She just made work seem such a pleasure.
526
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,950
- Did she treat him like any other customer?
- No differently.
527
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,076
And how did he behave towards her?
528
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,151
He hung around her a lot.
529
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,835
Did she encourage his attention?
530
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,229
No, not a bit, never.
531
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,029
Was there ever an occasion
when he forced himself upon her?
532
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,669
- My lord, that's not a proper question.
- Yes. Mr Brill...
533
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,956
Did you ever see the defendant
behave improperly towards Geri?
534
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,873
He made a grab for her a couple of times.
535
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,872
Uh, he often followed her,
536
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,315
I sometimes walked her
through the park because of it.
537
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,233
That was soon after she started
going out with a new boyfriend.
538
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,117
Do we know who this boyfriend is?
539
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,078
The police were unable
to find him, my lord.
540
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,799
She and Gary had a bit
of an argument about that.
541
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,873
He grabbed her arm, she
shrugged him away, he ran off.
542
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:57,158
Would you say he was violent towards her?
543
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,348
Yes.
544
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,913
But Gary wasn't normally a
violent boy. Not like some of them.
545
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,877
Did Geri say what the row was about?
546
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,238
My lord, this is a line of questioning
that requires third party reporting.
547
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,915
Yes. Was Gary present at
this conversation, Mr Collins?
548
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,275
- No.
- I withdraw the question.
549
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,199
I think this might be a convenient moment.
550
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,759
All rise.
551
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:29,992
I had everything, Dad.
552
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,471
I spent hours going through those
records, just like Henry told me to.
553
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,712
Someone stole them all. It
can't be coincidental, can it?
554
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,912
We should stop this right now.
555
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,275
- Dad, you can't be serious.
- You could have been hurt.
556
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,069
- They're all Masons.
- The Masons aren't proscribed, Chaz.
557
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,596
Something is going on. There
are too many coincidences.
558
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,912
Judge Home owns 80,OOO shares
in Amax Conversions PLC.
559
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,117
They hold six million
shares in Moraira PLC,
560
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,431
the company in the shipping
fraud Judge Home tried last year.
561
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,590
He acquitted the two directors.
562
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,434
- Did you remember all that?
- There's lots I can't remember.
563
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:13,229
Seven of the people on that list hold shares
in Amax, including Sir James Valentine.
564
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,471
The solicitors for Amax
are Westwake Hargreaves.
565
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:21,031
Amax holds shares in companies other
judges are trying for fraud of some sort.
566
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,998
- Were they all acquitted?
- I don't know.
567
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,792
Do we have a case?
568
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:33,159
Oh, we have enough to destroy the reputations of
all concerned, but not enough to convict them, no.
569
00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:37,472
- So how do we move forward? This is so exciting.
- This is not a game, Chaz.
570
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,757
Once a reputation is destroyed, you
can't put it back by saying sorry.
571
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,912
- We can't just do nothing.
- Lf it was the papers they were after,
572
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,912
somebody is prepared to
act criminally to get them.
573
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,197
- Then I'll go back and get them again.
- No.
574
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,794
Not on your own, you won't.
575
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,394
There's something else.
576
00:38:55,480 --> 00:39:00,315
The two lawyers that Judge Home is trying
are associates of Westwake Hargreaves.
577
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,958
They get around.
578
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,831
If you are going back, I'm sending
Stephen with you, just to be certain.
579
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,230
You saw Carol the other night?
580
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,116
Yeah, yeah, she, um, she...
581
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,199
She wrote her phone number on my bill.
582
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,353
I'm not into long term relationships.
583
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,874
- Carol's a grown woman, Dad.
- Yeah.
584
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,078
Was Geri particularly nice to Gary?
585
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,278
She didn't encourage him.
586
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,511
But she showed him affection beyond
courtesy to a customer, did she not?
587
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,556
Not that I noticed, miss.
588
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,038
She wasn't interested.
589
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,680
She wasn't hostile to
his displays of affection?
590
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,514
She was too kind. She'd chat away to him,
591
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,955
ask him about his gran.
592
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,759
He never had much to say, poor lad.
593
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,717
But she said something to you?
594
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,360
Yes, we were very close.
595
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,112
She told me...
596
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,759
She told me she thought he was pathetic.
597
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,150
- Was that after he went out with her?
- She never...
598
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,637
She wouldn't.
599
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:20,915
You're privy to all her movements?
600
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,197
Well, no, but she wouldn't.
601
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,749
Did you ever see Gary
behave violently around Geri?
602
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,110
That time he grabbed her. Yeah.
603
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,829
Isn't the truth of the matter that
Gary was in love with the girl,
604
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,833
and mostly followed her at a
distance, unable to approach her?
605
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,195
Like I said, he was pathetic.
606
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,159
Oh, I thought you said Geri
thought he was pathetic.
607
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,278
Not you.
608
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:55,439
- Terminal six is free now, miss.
- Miss?
609
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,192
It's Charlie.
610
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,919
I bribed you with the
skinny latte, remember?
611
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,231
- But someone nicked the papers I got.
- What papers are they?
612
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,276
Did somebody get to you?
613
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:10,392
- What are you talking about?
- Has anyone approached you about Miss Deed?
614
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,755
Is that her name?
Thought she was a nutter.
615
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,559
- Somebody did get to you.
- Terminal six.
616
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,236
Tell me what you're after.
617
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,878
Is the defence ready
to proceed, Mrs Mills?
618
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,590
We are, my lord. With your
leave I call Gary Patterson.
619
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,751
What happened to Mr Patterson?
620
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,913
He won't say. It's believed he
was beaten up at the remand centre.
621
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:02,875
I see.
622
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,033
Hold the bible in your raised hand
and read the words on the card.
623
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,510
Just repeat the words after the usher.
- No, just a minute.
624
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:16,953
Gary?
625
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,871
Can you read, Gary?
626
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,679
I can, but with my glasses I can.
627
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,753
Has no one given you replacement
glasses in the last five months?
628
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:29,997
I did have some. Yeah.
629
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,320
Give him his glasses from the table.
630
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,796
Can you read the words?
631
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,675
Can you read, Gary?
632
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,193
I could once.
633
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,637
Can someone verify whether
the defendant can read?
634
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:07,991
He can read, sir.
635
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,709
- And you are?
- Dale Patterson, Gary's father.
636
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,518
Okay, thank you, Mr Patterson.
637
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,433
Can someone find him some reading glasses?
638
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,032
Put them on, Gary.
639
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,671
And read from the card.
640
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,559
I swear by God...
641
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,716
Almighty that the...
642
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,437
evidence shall...
643
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,357
be the truth,
644
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,159
nothing but the whole truth.
645
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,033
Good, now try the other glasses.
646
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,150
Can you see the words on the card?
647
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,836
- No.
- Why is that?
648
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,916
I don't... I don't know.
649
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,197
I think you do, Gary.
650
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,958
I trust you are going to call Mr
Patterson's optician, Mrs Mills.
651
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,439
Oh, I am, my lord.
652
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,114
Before we proceed, I will
see counsel in chambers.
653
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:44,474
All rise.
654
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,878
The conduct of this case is shambolic.
It has scant regard for the truth.
655
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,918
I thought the trial was about
the presentation of fact.
656
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:57,039
It should be about discovering the truth,
that's what the public expects of us.
657
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,476
I don't believe that either you
or the CPS tested the evidence.
658
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,791
The glasses found by the body
are clearly not the defendants.
659
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,919
- Is the earring his?
- He identified it as being his.
660
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,796
- You challenging that?
- Of course, there's no DNA linking it to him.
661
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,873
And you're content not to submit
evidence from your psychiatrist?
662
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,034
I am.
663
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,394
Presumably because it's
unhelpful to your case.
664
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:28,951
I'm going to adjourn this trial
665
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,032
and have the defendant
examined by a psychiatrist.
666
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:36,033
Hopefully, I will have a report by Monday.
I will disclose the contents to you both.
667
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,839
I hope that one of you
will call the psychiatrist.
668
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,390
Do you want a hand to analyse it all?
669
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,755
- Is that your strong point?
- I was always pretty good at reasoning.
670
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,832
Then why didn't you become a lawyer?
671
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:02,232
I couldn't afford the extra
year. Should I stick around?
672
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,071
Why don't you just get to
it? You want to take me out.
673
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,879
Mind-reading's another of your talents.
674
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:15,198
- I'm seeing a lecturer.
- Oh, well, I can't compete with that.
675
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:17,999
He's married.
676
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,110
Look, if I went out with a policeman,
677
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:27,637
I wouldn't have any other friends.
They all do dope or social dissidence.
678
00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:30,280
Then you'd better give me their names.
679
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,430
You'd better not lose that.
680
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:47,633
Mrs Cooper?
681
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,072
Can I grab a lift back?
682
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,550
I'll be right with you. I'll catch you up.
683
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,279
- What is it, Sergeant?
- Look...
684
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,239
the judge ought to know
something in the prosecutions case
685
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,914
that wasn't disclosed to the defence.
686
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,074
It may not mean very much,
Coop, in view of the evidence.
687
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,914
- Even so, it should have been disclosed, Judge.
- I'll make sure it is.
688
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:14,596
Oh, tell Mr Harrison that Dr Eugene
Baldichino is the psychiatrist of choice.
689
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,750
Avoid those on the Home Office list.
690
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,991
Will all parties involved
please proceed to court three.
691
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,877
All parties...
692
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,598
Constable Ashurst?
693
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,475
Is there a problem?
694
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,394
- Should there be?
- You lot don't dig us out otherwise.
695
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,277
What sort of problem might there be?
696
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,989
Well, I did smoke in the Judge's car.
697
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,834
- Oh, you think this a matter for mirth?
- No, sir.
698
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,115
There's been a complaint against you.
699
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:49,149
You've been misappropriating police resources to
help Mr Justice Deed further a private vendetta.
700
00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:52,277
I've been helping collect
information on possible fraud, sir.
701
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,430
Oh, and what fraud is that?
702
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,351
I think I'd better talk
to the Judge first, sir.
703
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,357
Not before you talk to us.
704
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,590
They can't keep the files. Who were they?
705
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,468
Policemen who investigate policemen.
706
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,199
You didn't do anything wrong, Stephen.
707
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,515
- I'm sorry I lost the files, Judge.
- Hi, this is Charlie Deed.
708
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,158
- Please leave a message.
- Did you get a receipt?
709
00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:20,559
Chaz, it's me.
710
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,712
Call me as soon as you can.
I think we've got a problem.
711
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:36,792
Judge, I'm ready.
712
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:39,992
You're miles away.
713
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,077
I feel like walking.
714
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,675
- Charlie, have you got the file?
- Yeah, and I gave Stephen a copy, too.
715
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:52,988
What's wrong?
716
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:58,108
Nothing's wrong, I'm with Carol. I'll
talk to you tomorrow, sweetheart. Bye-bye.
717
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,990
- So have you two always been close?
- Yeah.
718
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,072
Charlie spent most of her time with
me after her mother and I divorced.
719
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:06,275
Lucky her.
720
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,954
the fire detector off a fire engine.
721
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:13,431
- You're a bit off your beaten track, aren't you?
- Well, this looks like your home from home.
722
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,078
- Hi, Carol.
- Hi.
723
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,276
Oh, Carol, this is Jo
who's appearing before me.
724
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,999
- I've heard a lot about you.
- Have you?
725
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:22,829
Have you eaten?
726
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:24,558
- No.
- Yeah.
727
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,915
It's a bit of a busman's holiday for me.
728
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,879
Have the white bean and pumpkin
chilli tacos. It's very special.
729
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,396
Or we could all go and eat
together somewhere else?
730
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,074
I think the prosecution would object.
731
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,949
Gary, I want you to think very
carefully before answering this question.
732
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:43,712
Do you understand?
733
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:46,910
Did you kill Geri Lander?
734
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:48,634
No, no.
735
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,954
Why did you tell the police you had?
736
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,270
They were kind to me, so I...
737
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,268
Were you there when she was killed?
738
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,840
- Is that a yes, Gary?
- Yes.
739
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,471
Did you see who did it?
740
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,839
Well, why didn't you tell the police that?
741
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:16,069
I don't know.
742
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,630
Did you see this person
hit Geri with the iron bar?
743
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,357
Was it a man you saw?
744
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:32,439
Yes.
745
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,034
Have you seen this man before, Gary?
746
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,519
Gary, you say you didn't
kill Geri. Is that right?
747
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:45,035
Gary, is this man you say
killed Geri a friend of yours?
748
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,793
- Gary, is he someone known to you?
- No.
749
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:54,117
We'll need some help.
750
00:51:00,720 --> 00:51:02,233
Get a doctor.
751
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,238
Gary Patterson had an epileptic seizure.
752
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:10,719
Is he gonna be all right?
753
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:15,078
I doubt it. The doctors aren't sure if he
can undergo such intense examination again.
754
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:19,119
It's beginning to feel like a
replay of the Jimmy Darvall trial.
755
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:20,838
I don't see it.
756
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,070
This boy allegedly followed
the girl, rowed with her
757
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,994
and then killed her when she rejected
him. Jimmy came home the worse for drink,
758
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:28,911
killed his young wife when
she said she was leaving him.
759
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,197
Yes, we argued that there
was a third party present.
760
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:36,398
I think that Jimmy knew that
person and blocked him out.
761
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,917
And possibly Gary Patterson
did the same thing.
762
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,791
Pound gets us on the bus. We ain't
got 20 pence unless either one talks.
763
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,155
John, could we have a conversation?
764
00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:52,313
I'd catch you at the digs, but
you lead such a social life.
765
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,949
- I'll be at the digs for tea.
- Excellent. Mrs Mills.
766
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,439
Sounds like a wrap on the knuckles.
767
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,956
- Having such a social life?
- He's reading the wrong diary.
768
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:08,708
Are you serious about Row Colemore?
769
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:10,793
Does it matter?
770
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,195
No, if it's what you want.
771
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,153
I liked your waitress friend,
Carol, she's very warm.
772
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:19,559
Hmm. Hmm.
773
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,436
- Yes, very bright, too.
- And you get to eat healthily.
774
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,598
This sort of thing erodes
the credibility of the bench.
775
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,877
Little by little it
diminishes our authority.
776
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:36,238
No, Michael, rumour of corruption
that we fail to deal with does that.
777
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,074
Are you investigating Robert Home?
778
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,391
It's not a vendetta.
779
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,233
It's such a breach of etiquette, John.
780
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,676
I have a suspicion that I wish
to investigate to my satisfaction,
781
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:50,830
I would have hoped, with your support.
782
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:55,755
You'll have to seek that from the circuit
resider. I take a very dim view of it.
783
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,397
I suspect he will, too.
784
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,119
Yes.
785
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,839
I feel cheated, like you let me win.
786
00:53:14,720 --> 00:53:17,314
I've never thrown a match in my life.
787
00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:20,470
Well, you didn't try very hard.
788
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,877
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm distracted.
789
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,029
Do you think Jo could be
using you to wind me up?
790
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,398
Ha! You wish.
791
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:37,353
You miss her, John.
792
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,156
I see her every day in court.
793
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,277
At some point, John, we've got to
take action on this investigation.
794
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,271
Is there anything on this judge yet?
795
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,193
Have you got somebody reliable in the CPS?
796
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,953
No, but I wouldn't let that deter me.
797
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,952
I have to congratulate you, Sir John,
it's a first rate job of detection.
798
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,873
Well, Charlie did most of the donkey work.
799
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,239
In attempts to convict
such high profile figures,
800
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,630
the CPS needs to feel
confident about any witnesses.
801
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:14,233
- We need someone to point the finger.
- We won't get that unless we give it to the police.
802
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,276
Then it ceases to be discreet.
803
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,874
We've given up our megaphones, John.
804
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,549
- We would need at least one solid witness.
- And who do you suggest?
805
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,313
The two solicitors currently on trial.
806
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,749
Won't they think they're better
off in front of Judge Home?
807
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:32,994
No, not necessarily. Home knows we're onto
him. He'd be obliged to play a straight bat.
808
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,150
I could have a word with my colleagues.
809
00:54:35,240 --> 00:54:37,993
The solicitors might get a deal
for turning against their cohorts,
810
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,036
even at this late stage.
811
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,193
Worth a try.
812
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:49,558
Mrs Mills, can you tell us of the
state of Mr Patterson's health?
813
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:54,270
He's recovering from the seizure, my lord.
He is not yet fit enough to resume evidence.
814
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,033
Is he likely to return to the
witness box in the near future?
815
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:58,951
The doctors are optimistic.
816
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,918
Is he able to give you instruction?
817
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:06,915
I have received instructions. I should
like to call Mr Patterson's optician,
818
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:08,919
Amber Hollick.
819
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,515
This is an expert witness. Has
the prosecution seen her report?
820
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,273
I submitted it during the adjournment.
821
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:16,679
Mr Brill?
822
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:21,108
It does appear to be an ambush, my lord,
823
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,238
but I've accepted there
were valid reasons.
824
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,151
Did you prescribe eye
glasses for Gary Patterson?
825
00:55:29,240 --> 00:55:31,629
Yes, about four years ago.
826
00:55:31,720 --> 00:55:34,917
- We haven't seen him since.
- What condition does he have?
827
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,878
A genetic malformation of the lens.
828
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,758
Well, he can't see objects close to.
829
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,992
- Is this a condition that rights itself?
- No, not in my experience.
830
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:52,874
Were you asked to examine a pair of spectacles
and compare them to Mr Patterson's prescription?
831
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:54,871
Exhibit 2C.
832
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,074
These are the glasses I examined.
833
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,038
Are they glasses that you or any optician
834
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,395
would have prescribed for
the defendant's condition?
835
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,994
No, they wouldn't have corrected it.
836
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,228
Let the jury be certain about this.
837
00:56:17,240 --> 00:56:20,676
Could these glasses ever have been Gary's?
838
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,078
- No.
- Thank you, Miss Hollick.
839
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,630
Mr Brill, would you like
to examine this witness?
840
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:30,711
Thank you, my lord. No.
841
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:37,752
Mrs Mills, in the circumstances, do you
wish to call the psychiatrist Dr Baldichino?
842
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,510
Yes, my lord, with your leave.
843
00:56:43,240 --> 00:56:45,959
I believe you recently
examined Mr Patterson?
844
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,794
Yes, I examined him as thoroughly
as I was able in prison.
845
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,792
Did you form an opinion
on his mental state?
846
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,599
There is no condition as
such which marks Gary as being
847
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,910
mentally unstable, psychotic.
848
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:02,150
His social function is
limited by his emotional age.
849
00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:06,950
He's a 22-year-old man with the emotional
age of someone in his early teens.
850
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:11,075
He's socially inadequate. He
can't interact with his peers
851
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:15,756
and is easily distressed and embarrassed,
especially with the opposite sex.
852
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,195
Tongue-tied to a point
of total frustration.
853
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:22,512
Is Gary, in your opinion,
a violent personality?
854
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:24,274
No.
855
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:26,191
He's quite benign.
856
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:30,273
His constant attention to his
bedridden grandmother is an example.
857
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,954
In helping her, he finds a role in life.
858
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,112
Did you ascertain the causes
of his emotional retardedness?
859
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,556
He witnessed his mother die
violently when he was 12.
860
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:41,232
How did she die?
861
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,515
She fell down the stairs
during a row with Gary's father.
862
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,994
Gary has an exaggerated need
for attention and approval
863
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,072
that his father wasn't
able or willing to provide.
864
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:57,948
Could he get this, say, by
giving comfort and succour?
865
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:02,030
- Yes, he could.
- And how would that make him feel?
866
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,112
Good, worthwhile, useful.
867
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:10,949
He'd be neither threatened nor challenged.
He'd get the approval he craves.
868
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:12,672
Dr Baldichino,
869
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,879
in this situation, if he were
lying about killing the girl,
870
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,596
would he be aware of it?
871
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:25,995
It is likely that in such an emotional
state, he might believe he'd done something
872
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,071
he'd only witnessed.
873
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:32,950
Would such a person be able to sustain
this fiction over a long period,
874
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,190
say, 10 or 12 years?
875
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:41,919
When access to reality is cut
off by some emotional block,
876
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,275
such as false sense of guilt,
877
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,554
it can be sustained indefinitely.
878
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,153
Thank you.
879
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,312
"Socially inadequate,
immature, unable to interact.
880
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,709
"Gets distressed and embarrassed
with the opposite sex.
881
00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:00,793
"Tongue-tied, totally frustrated,
desperately needing approval. "
882
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,633
I'm quoting you, Doctor.
Now, let's hypothesise.
883
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,030
The person whose approval he
most needs is the young woman
884
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:10,635
who rejects him, laughs at
him, goes out with someone else.
885
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,757
Is this someone who is
going to remain benign?
886
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:16,996
In those circumstances, he could lash out.
887
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:22,029
Violently and uncontrollably until the
object of his desire can reject him no more?
888
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,352
- Yes, it's possible.
- Thank you, Doctor.
889
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,474
Sir Joseph Channing to see you, my lord.
890
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:36,997
- We don't have an appointment.
- He apologises for calling in like this.
891
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:38,513
All right.
892
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:40,234
My lord.
893
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:45,078
- Sorry to interrupt your meal, John.
- There's some spare if you want it.
894
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,470
Good God! Is it part of the LCD cutbacks?
895
00:59:56,720 --> 01:00:00,315
Just so there'll be no misunderstanding.
896
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,389
I hardly think we could avoid those, Joe.
897
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:07,109
I want you to be perfectly
clear on what I'm about to say.
898
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:11,112
On the bench you are an irritation.
899
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,636
Most barristers would prefer
not to appear before you.
900
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:18,633
What you do there is
sometimes fair, sometimes just,
901
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,910
but you are a prig,
a self-righteous prig.
902
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,557
You think that nobody
else can deliver justice.
903
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,073
- Well, they can, you know.
- Yes, I'm sure.
904
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:31,039
And when you're in the wrong,
you become a complete ass,
905
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:34,795
as in this vendetta against Robert Home.
906
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:38,516
Oh, you've been elected
spokesman, have you?
907
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:43,156
Well, perhaps I've missed
a beat here somewhere, Joe.
908
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:46,915
Perhaps somehow you're connected
to this network of deceit.
909
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:51,073
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
There is no network of deceit.
910
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:53,594
The judges of England are impeccable.
911
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:58,879
I've known Robert Home for years. He...
He's a member of my club. I knew his father.
912
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,350
Well, I suppose that's a start.
913
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,351
There is no corruption.
914
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:10,472
By your actions, you put at risk the very
last bastion of decency and integrity.
915
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,951
Where do these paragons
get their immunity, hmm?
916
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:18,759
Aren't they subject to human
weaknesses like most of humanity?
917
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:23,277
Most of us went to decent schools.
We were exposed to the right values.
918
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,716
For you to pursue this
is to imbrute the bench.
919
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,028
You must stop,
920
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:32,511
if not for your own sake, then for the
sake of your daughter, my granddaughter.
921
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:37,151
For those you cherish. Your
sister, Mrs Mills and her family,
922
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,556
your new girlfriend.
923
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:44,431
You better leave, Joe.
924
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:50,359
I'm sure we'll reach an accommodation.
925
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,716
The alternatives are
too awful to contemplate.
926
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:26,432
John, this is a surprise.
927
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,956
- I'm surprised to find you in.
- Then why did you come?
928
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,312
- How are you?
- Tired.
929
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,038
I've been reviewing Jimmy Darvall's
trial. Something still doesn't add up.
930
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:43,352
- He's holding out on us.
- Perhaps I should go and confront him again.
931
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:50,914
- Yeah, thanks. Boys okay?
- Mark's upstairs online.
932
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,396
I haven't spoken to Tom for ages.
933
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:58,110
You buy them phones so they can keep in
touch and you're the last person they call.
934
01:02:58,200 --> 01:02:59,952
Would you like to see a
football match at the weekend?
935
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,952
We could take Charlie
and the boys to Brighton.
936
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:05,395
John, you don't like football.
937
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:11,238
The Lord Chancellor wants the
judiciary to have a more popular touch.
938
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,071
What's wrong?
939
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:15,275
Nothing.
940
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:18,838
Nothing at all.
941
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,156
I'll see you tomorrow.
942
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:35,078
Denis Marlowe is not very happy about
his transfer to Aylesbury, you know.
943
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:36,673
Why are they sending him to Aylesbury?
944
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:41,276
Well, it might have been the Outer
Hebrides as far as Denis is concerned.
945
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:45,629
Coop.
946
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:49,990
Is he unhappy enough to
pull the prosecution papers
947
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:52,435
on the Jimmy Darvall trial for me?
948
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:56,271
Aylesbury's where I defended him.
949
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,158
Denis is very flattered
that you remember him.
950
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:02,198
Most judges don't even
know the polls exists.
951
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,310
Do we know whether Gary
Patterson's recovered yet?
952
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:08,073
He has. He's ready to go back in the box.
953
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:11,354
Mr Brill.
954
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,268
Do you know that on a previous occasion
955
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:19,875
Mr Patterson had confessed
to a crime he didn't commit?
956
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:23,473
I did see information
to that effect, my lord.
957
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:25,915
Did you disclose this to the defence?
958
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,788
The CPS took the view the
information only confused matters.
959
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,559
If the defendant were to be found guilty,
960
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,791
failure to disclose might
prove grounds for an appeal.
961
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:41,591
Nondisclosure is permitted under the Criminal
Procedure and Investigations Act of 1996.
962
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:46,993
Yes, but the test is applied by the
prosecution. It's subjective, not objective.
963
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:52,438
This arguably goes against the requirement
for a fair trial under the Human Rights Act.
964
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,389
I'm going to adjourn until
after lunch, during which time
965
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:58,074
I want full disclosure to the defence
966
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,755
of any previous confessions
that Mr Patterson may have made.
967
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:05,150
Failure to do so might
render any conviction unsafe.
968
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:07,159
All rise.
969
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,635
Prosecution bashing, John?
970
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:15,750
How much does the 1996
Act help the police, Row?
971
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:19,078
Every little helps. We need
all the help we can get.
972
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,554
I've heard back from Gavin McFayden.
973
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:26,110
CPS don't think there's enough
in what Charlie scraped up.
974
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:29,269
John.
975
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,033
Well, say something.
976
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,029
It's...
977
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:37,878
a disappointment.
978
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:40,716
That's all?
979
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:45,715
- I could talk to the Fraud Office.
- No, no, no. I don't... I don't think so.
980
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:50,157
The more people we talk to, the
more reputations we put at risk.
981
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:51,468
John.
982
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,633
John, did you know something when
you asked about the boys last night?
983
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:00,392
Jo, are you all right?
You've gone quite white.
984
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:04,393
- Tom's in hospital, came off his scooter.
- Is he badly hurt?
985
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:07,278
They're taking him to the theatre
now. I'm on my way to York.
986
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,078
Why did he have to choose
a university so far away?
987
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:11,151
My car's outside. I'll
take you to King's Cross.
988
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:14,869
- My junior can hold the fort.
- Yes, let me know how he is.
989
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,394
You obviously have some very powerful
and influential friends, Robert.
990
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:27,119
One inevitably meets major figures
in the course of one's career.
991
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:28,519
What I haven't managed to work out
992
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,114
is whether they share your
wonky ideas on victimless crime
993
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,589
or are simply supporting a fellow.
994
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:37,389
Either way, I've decided not to act on
the corruption I've found on the bench.
995
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:43,430
With respect, Sir John, I find that very
wise. Reputations so hard won are easily lost.
996
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:47,593
Just pray that none of my family
and friends has any more mishaps,
997
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,396
or nothing will stop me.
998
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:57,599
Hmm.
999
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:00,674
Well argued.
1000
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,228
But a bit short on facts.
1001
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:09,032
It's an argument for why those judges
and lawyers should be prosecuted.
1002
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,992
- Henry filled in some gaps.
- Did he?
1003
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:17,829
As your law lecturer, he should
be teaching you to be factual.
1004
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:22,232
If the law fails you, Chaz, then
change the law. Don't try and bend it.
1005
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,276
Do you want to eat?
1006
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:28,269
Are we not gonna go after these guys?
1007
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:30,672
We can't.
1008
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:34,192
We all want to do it, Chaz. We...
1009
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:39,035
We get frustrated, we try to bridge
gaps the law won't let us jump and, um...
1010
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:45,114
- Can I keep this?
- Mmm.
1011
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,191
Where do you want to eat?
1012
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:52,991
I thought where Carol works.
1013
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:56,068
- Let's try somewhere else.
- Why?
1014
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:05,038
She really likes you, Dad.
1015
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,749
She's a waitress I picked up,
Chaz. Now, drop it. Come on.
1016
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:10,429
No, I'm not hungry any more.
1017
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:12,431
I can't go out with your
friends to please you, Chaz.
1018
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:14,431
- No!
- Don't do that.
1019
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:24,119
- Jo, how's Tom?
- He's got great tarmac burns on his leg.
1020
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:28,876
He'll be fine. I'm waiting for Row to
finish a meeting, then I'll come back.
1021
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:32,430
- Row drove you?
- He had a meeting with the York police.
1022
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:37,473
- That was convenient.
- Yes. I'll see you in the morning.
1023
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:46,790
When you said you saw this other man kill
Geri and throw the iron bar into the pond,
1024
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:49,552
were you telling the truth?
1025
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,154
- Yes.
- That was the whole truth, was it?
1026
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:53,992
Yes, it was. Yeah.
1027
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:57,675
You know the purpose of the court
is to get to the truth, Mr Patterson?
1028
01:08:57,760 --> 01:08:58,749
Yes.
1029
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:04,756
So, when you previously told the police it
was you who killed her, was that the truth?
1030
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:09,439
- No.
- Ah.
1031
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:14,510
So you lied to the police? Is that so?
1032
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:17,109
Yes.
1033
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:19,717
Well, Mr Patterson,
1034
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,439
how do we know you're not lying now
when you say you didn't kill her?
1035
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:24,272
I'm not. I'm not.
1036
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:29,710
Earlier, you said you lie so that
people are kind to you, did you not?
1037
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,910
I saw him do it. I did. I saw him do it.
1038
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:35,718
Isn't this simply another lie?
1039
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,473
No. You don't know. I seen him do it.
1040
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:43,315
Isn't it true, Mr Patterson, you hit Geri again
and again and again because she rejected you?
1041
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:45,994
- No.
- You didn't want anyone else to have her?
1042
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,719
- I didn't do it.
- You invented this other man.
1043
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,559
You invented him to cover
up your own sordid crime.
1044
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:56,395
No. I didn't. That is the...
That's the truth. I didn't.
1045
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,672
Your truth, Mr Patterson,
1046
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,229
is all strokes for folks.
1047
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:06,109
Hmm?
1048
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,076
We'll let the jury decide
1049
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:12,912
on the evidence.
1050
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,789
You wish to come back, Mrs Mills?
1051
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:21,188
Gary.
1052
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:26,113
How clearly did you see this other
man on the night of the murder?
1053
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:28,270
I... I saw him do it.
1054
01:10:29,480 --> 01:10:32,313
- Were you spying on him and Geri?
- No.
1055
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,516
Were you following Geri?
1056
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,871
- Yes.
- Why didn't you try and stop him?
1057
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:47,034
Gary?
1058
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:58,233
Mrs Mills.
1059
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:01,198
In the circumstances, I
have no further questions.
1060
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:03,430
Are you calling your forensic expert?
1061
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:08,234
Next, my lord.
1062
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:15,279
Dr Markham, did you examine blood on items
of clothing belonging to the defendant?
1063
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,272
Yes, a pair of trainers
and a pair of jeans.
1064
01:11:19,480 --> 01:11:21,152
What were your findings, Doctor?
1065
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:24,710
There were two types of blood on
the jeans, but only one on the shoes.
1066
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:28,076
On the welts of the trainers, the blood
was from the dead girl, Geri Lander.
1067
01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:30,355
We did DNA tests on the blood.
1068
01:11:30,440 --> 01:11:33,034
- Is there any doubt about that?
- No.
1069
01:11:34,440 --> 01:11:39,355
Have you seen the report by the
Home Office pathologist, Dr Vaughan?
1070
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:43,110
Yes. I agree with his findings for the
shoes, but not the blood on the jeans.
1071
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:45,270
Will you tell the jury how it varies?
1072
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:49,114
- There are two separate bloods on the jeans.
- Are these from the same type?
1073
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:50,713
Yes, type O.
1074
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:52,791
There wasn't much of either,
but the preponderance of blood
1075
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:54,791
was from the defendant, Gary Patterson.
1076
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:59,192
- And the victim's blood?
- It was there, but only as trace.
1077
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,953
Can you say how the blood
might have got there?
1078
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,794
The defendant's blood was pushed into
the fabric, as if wiped off something.
1079
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:10,635
The trace of the girl's blood was almost certainly
picked up from brushing a leaf with it on.
1080
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:11,948
Gary.
1081
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,114
Gary, can you hold up your hands?
1082
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:20,276
How did you cut your palm?
1083
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:26,870
It's just... It's just from me sort of
picking on it, and just from scratches.
1084
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,352
I'm pretty sure the jury
didn't quite hear that.
1085
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:35,150
I do it sometimes with my nail.
1086
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:39,759
- Then wipe it on your trousers?
- Yeah, sometimes. Yeah.
1087
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:44,638
Thank you, Dr Markham.
1088
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,993
- Did Tom say what happened?
- Someone in a car forced him off the road.
1089
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:53,991
And didn't stop?
1090
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:56,310
Didn't Row Colemore investigate it?
1091
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,631
- What's on your mind, John?
- Nothing.
1092
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:01,950
- I don't believe you.
- Nothing.
1093
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:03,749
Look.
1094
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:08,555
I got sent this from the
prosecution file on Jimmy Darvall.
1095
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,399
A third party's blood was on
the murdered woman's dress?
1096
01:13:15,480 --> 01:13:18,870
Mmm-hmm. Prosecution didn't disclose it.
1097
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:22,473
I intend asking my
ex-father-in-law why.
1098
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:26,229
I should go down and see Jimmy Darvall.
1099
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:29,073
Maybe Row Colemore'll give you a lift.
1100
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,037
Yes, John, he might.
1101
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:38,797
The blood of a third party on the dead
woman's dress means nothing in itself.
1102
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:42,429
- It means that somebody else was there.
- Not necessarily.
1103
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,033
The conviction is sound.
1104
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:47,999
Peter Hargreaves, the senior partner
in your firm of instructing solicitors,
1105
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:51,595
reviewed the prosecution's
evidence and found it sound.
1106
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:55,078
Hargreaves? Why didn't he tell me?
1107
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:58,359
Presumably he didn't think it important.
1108
01:13:58,440 --> 01:14:01,591
But then he must have seen the
undisclosed evidence. Whose side was he on?
1109
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:05,832
- He operated without prejudice.
- I'm gonna get this before the CCRC.
1110
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:10,992
- Hello, it's Jo.
- Jo.
1111
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,913
I think I know who killed
Jimmy Darvall's wife.
1112
01:14:25,440 --> 01:14:27,556
No, I don't know, Jo.
1113
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:30,359
I don't know who did it. It
was all such a long time ago.
1114
01:14:30,440 --> 01:14:33,034
You know exactly, Jimmy.
1115
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:38,278
You came into the bedroom
that night and there he was.
1116
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:42,433
Someone so shocking to you that
you cannot bear to remember.
1117
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:47,915
You know who it was, Jimmy. You
know and you can see him. You can.
1118
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:53,311
I thought I'd invented him.
1119
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:58,679
I started to dream
about Marcus being there.
1120
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:02,475
Your solicitor's younger brother.
1121
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:08,079
- He was having an affair with your wife.
- She wanted it to stop.
1122
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:12,199
That's what I kept dreaming
about, her wanting Marcus to stop.
1123
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:18,833
Oh, Jimmy.
1124
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:23,910
- He doesn't want to do anything.
Are you serious? - Mmm-hmm.
1125
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:28,152
- We can't stop now, Jo. He could walk free.
- He's the client.
1126
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:31,676
He didn't batter his wife to
death. Marcus Hargreaves did.
1127
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:34,354
His brother Peter reviewed
the evidence and ignored it.
1128
01:15:34,440 --> 01:15:37,591
Jimmy feels he's culpable.
He doesn't want us to go on.
1129
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:39,432
He was stitched up.
1130
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:43,112
Twelve years we've been
picking away at this.
1131
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:45,839
Hargreaves can't keep
getting away with it.
1132
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:48,150
John, Peter Hargreaves is dead.
1133
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,628
Tell your friends all bets are off.
1134
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:05,952
- I don't understand.
- You don't?
1135
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:10,955
You're trying two lawyers on
a so-called victimless fraud,
1136
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:14,316
which like so many frauds
that were tried and acquitted,
1137
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:17,472
tracks right back to Westwake Hargreaves.
1138
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:24,429
The late Peter Hargreaves, that
paragon of public accountability,
1139
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:29,913
masterminded the whole thing, drawing
in chums from his club and his lodge.
1140
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:34,558
That's you with Peter Hargreaves.
1141
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:37,472
Tell your friends.
1142
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:46,874
There's only one way to stop
them, John. Make it official.
1143
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:50,111
Fine. Just make sure
you protect my people.
1144
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:06,309
My lord, might you hear an
argument out of the jury's hearing
1145
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:09,119
concerning ownership of the glasses?
1146
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:11,555
Perhaps I'd better hear it in chambers.
1147
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:15,030
The glasses are a lens prescribed
to Dominic Collins, the chemist.
1148
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:16,951
Did the police question him on that?
1149
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:21,556
He said he often mislaid his glasses.
Geri Lander was always finding them.
1150
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:24,399
- And the police believed him?
- No reason to doubt him.
1151
01:17:24,480 --> 01:17:27,358
They'd have even less reason
once Patterson was convicted.
1152
01:17:27,440 --> 01:17:31,115
The glasses are very strong circumstantial
evidence, but that's all they are.
1153
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:35,432
I am not going to allow you to
introduce the ownership of the glasses.
1154
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,158
That's prejudicial to my client's case.
1155
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,038
No, it's been clearly established
that he's not the owner of them.
1156
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:44,989
My lord, you know how hard it is to expunge
prejudicial information from the minds of jurors.
1157
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,150
Deal with that in summing up.
1158
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:56,872
You have before you a very difficult task.
1159
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,675
A most onerous responsibility.
1160
01:18:00,440 --> 01:18:05,036
This is a young man charged with
the most serious offence in law.
1161
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:09,479
He will suffer the inevitable
consequences of a conviction.
1162
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:12,120
That is a very heavy burden for you.
1163
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:18,711
Consider the facts carefully when coming to
your decision about his guilt or otherwise.
1164
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:23,237
The burden is on the Crown.
1165
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:27,513
The Crown must satisfy
you so that you are sure.
1166
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:34,196
And if they have failed to do
that, then you must acquit him.
1167
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:40,512
I doubt if the jury will come back quickly.
If they do, I'll be in Judge Home's court.
1168
01:18:41,440 --> 01:18:43,874
Members of the jury,
1169
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:47,873
you have diligently and
scrupulously examined
1170
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:52,476
all the reams of evidence the
prosecution has placed before you.
1171
01:18:53,440 --> 01:18:56,238
Now we must consider what it amounts to.
1172
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:59,194
Not a lot, I think you will agree.
1173
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:03,393
There is no crime here.
1174
01:19:03,480 --> 01:19:05,675
What are you doing here?
1175
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:10,709
- Same as you, Dad. What we
have is a sin. The sin of envy.
1176
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:15,516
Envy of two highly successful lawyers
1177
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:20,230
who were making the most of their
business acumen and a loophole in the law.
1178
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:23,314
One which has now been plugged.
1179
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:27,109
But at the time most of
these mortgages were written,
1180
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:29,475
the law read very differently.
1181
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:35,236
Who was being hurt by
this so-called crime?
1182
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:37,269
No one.
1183
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:41,879
Certainly there are no losers
because there are no victims.
1184
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:46,670
The plain truth is that
there wasn't any crime.
1185
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:55,717
You are such a perverse man. You were warned
about embarking upon this foolish course.
1186
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:59,839
- Sometimes we have to do as conscience
dictates. - Uh-huh. There will be consequences.
1187
01:19:59,920 --> 01:20:04,311
Oh. I thought these were decent people
who went to the right schools and clubs.
1188
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:08,678
Yes. Well, unfortunately, that is
no longer the guarantee it once was.
1189
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:13,394
Money has such a corroding
effect upon people.
1190
01:20:13,480 --> 01:20:15,710
Do you want to give me
the names of these people?
1191
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:17,392
Just be careful.
1192
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:23,156
Oh, by the way, you may want these.
1193
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:27,835
The relevant prosecution
papers from the Darvall trial.
1194
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:31,719
Thanks, Joe.
1195
01:20:40,440 --> 01:20:43,671
Do you think the jury will come back
with a verdict before the end of the day?
1196
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:45,796
I doubt it, Judge.
1197
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,309
- Row Colemore.
- Row, it's me.
1198
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:54,315
What are the chances of opening
an old murder case, do you think?
1199
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:56,869
Miss.
1200
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:02,038
Excuse me, miss.
1201
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:04,718
What do you want?
1202
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:08,873
Where's the usual friendly smile, then?
1203
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:14,279
Look, I've had a tough day at college.
1204
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:16,917
You're cross with me.
1205
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:22,114
Charlie did warn me about you.
1206
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:24,839
I'll have to have a talk with Charlie.
1207
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:30,279
How about some coffee when you get off?
1208
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:33,194
Please?
1209
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:33,396
- Row Colemore.
- Row, it's John.
1210
01:22:33,480 --> 01:22:35,914
I'm at Carol Hayman's. 9
Cooper's Yard. Have you got that?
1211
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:37,115
Yep, 9 Cooper's Yard.
1212
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:41,318
Get some of your people here as fast as
you can. We've had an uninvited visitor.
1213
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:44,597
- What, you mean a thief?
- No, I don't think he was a thief.
1214
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,717
- We'll get someone over right away.
- Fast as you can, Row.
1215
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:49,631
John, what's going on?
1216
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:53,192
- You had a burglar.
- But you just said he wasn't.
1217
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,271
I said he wasn't a thief.
1218
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:58,560
It's all right, love. It's okay.
1219
01:22:58,640 --> 01:22:59,868
It's all right.
1220
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:02,999
That was quick.
1221
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:07,153
- Who are you?
- Who are you?
1222
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:09,913
I'll ask the questions. We have
a warrant to search this flat.
1223
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:11,718
Sure you do. Get your hands off her.
1224
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:13,552
- Let me see it.
- Are you the owner of the flat, sir?
1225
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:14,675
No, she is. Can I see the warrant?
1226
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:17,228
- You better tell me who you are.
- Do you have some identification?
1227
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:20,517
- You're very confident
for a dealer. Skip.
1228
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:23,588
What's this, then, eh?
1229
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:26,353
- John, what is that?
- Drugs at a guess.
1230
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,553
- These yours, sir?
- Do you have the warrant?
1231
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:39,678
Oh, what a surprise. Signed by Judge Home.
1232
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:41,876
Hello? John, it's more police.
1233
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:44,679
- Ask them where they're from.
- Just a moment.
1234
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:46,478
On the first floor.
1235
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:50,758
You better have a very good explanation
as to where your information came from.
1236
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:52,512
So had Judge Home.
1237
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:57,119
Sergeant, I'm DS Branson from the
Drug Squad. You got a cell empty?
1238
01:23:57,200 --> 01:23:59,998
- Who for?
- Two suspected drug dealers.
1239
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:01,877
Fine, where are they?
1240
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:05,829
Can I help you, my lord?
1241
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:10,311
Yes, call DAC Colemore and then
your superintendent, in that order.
1242
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:14,188
- You know him?
- Is this a joke? That's Mr Justice Deed.
1243
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:19,513
The cocaine found in
the loo in Carol's flat
1244
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:24,355
was traced to a supply being held for
evidence in a police store in London.
1245
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:26,552
And the policeman?
1246
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:31,479
Well, their informant seemed
sound. We're questioning him now.
1247
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:33,835
- You were lucky, John.
- I know.
1248
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:37,431
"High Court judge caught in drugs raid. "
1249
01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:41,399
By the time anybody looked behind that headline,
my reputation would be ruined, wouldn't it?
1250
01:24:41,480 --> 01:24:43,038
The jury's coming back, Judge.
1251
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:46,078
- Any feelings, Coop?
- Not on this one, Judge.
1252
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:53,555
Will the foreman rise?
1253
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:01,951
In respect of the
defendant, Gary Patterson,
1254
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,951
on the count of murder,
have you reached a verdict?
1255
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:07,598
We have.
1256
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:10,672
How do you find? Guilty or not guilty?
1257
01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:13,429
Not guilty.
1258
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:24,153
- But I didn't kill Geri.
- That was the verdict, Gary.
1259
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:28,675
But it does mean that somebody
else killed her, doesn't it?
1260
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:32,670
You said that you wanted
the police as your friends.
1261
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:37,999
So why don't you trust them and
tell them what you clearly saw?
1262
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:44,237
That's the only way we'll get justice for Geri,
who I'm certain had a genuine fondness for you.
1263
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:48,548
- You think about that, Gary.
- Yeah.
1264
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:50,871
All right, off you go.
1265
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:00,350
- Whose earring was it?
- Dad's.
1266
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:03,194
No, I'm... No, well...
1267
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:08,359
No, it...
1268
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:10,996
Talk to the police, Gary.
1269
01:26:12,440 --> 01:26:14,112
All rise.
1270
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:29,712
Did we have an appointment?
1271
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:32,792
We ought to have had long before this.
1272
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:38,195
The Lord Chancellor's pleased you
take such an interest in his judges,
1273
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:40,510
but he expressed a view that you
should have come to the department
1274
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:42,909
about any concerns you may have had.
1275
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,549
And what would the department
have done about them?
1276
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,794
That is a hypothetical now, John.
1277
01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:54,237
Your interference has rendered any
sort of legal action against Judge Home
1278
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:55,878
null and void.
1279
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:58,758
You can stop the trial, change the judge.
1280
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:02,750
What sort of signal would
that send about the judiciary?
1281
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:05,513
Did you imagine we'd put him on trial?
1282
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:09,476
The Attorney General will do the only
thing he can do in the circumstances.
1283
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:12,279
He'll issue a nolle, no case to answer.
1284
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:15,589
He'll walk away scot-free.
1285
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:18,836
Come to us in future, John.
1286
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:23,077
The department manages the judiciary,
1287
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:26,994
and has been doing it remarkably
well for a very long time.
1288
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:35,039
Let's have lunch quite soon.
1289
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:45,318
Mrs Mills is here, my lord.
1290
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:47,675
- Oh, ask her to come in.
- She's already in.
1291
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:50,718
- Have you heard the news?
- They don't have news in the Saturday papers.
1292
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:53,234
Judge Home tried to kill himself.
1293
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,434
- How?
- In his car with a hosepipe.
1294
01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:57,669
Oh.
1295
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:00,869
Poor man. How is he?
1296
01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:06,079
- Recovering.
- I feel entirely responsible.
1297
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:10,796
Excuse me! No one is ever responsible
for another person's actions?
1298
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:12,950
- Lf I hadn't confronted him...
- Someone else would have.
1299
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:15,713
It's such total self-absorption
to think otherwise.
1300
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:16,949
Do you think I'm self-absorbed?
1301
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:20,430
You're straightaway
looking to beat yourself up.
1302
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:22,431
I know a cure for that.
1303
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:28,394
Mark and Tom are outside in the car.
1304
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:31,272
Ask them to come in, then.
1305
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:34,079
We're on our way to see Brighton. We
thought you and Charlie might like to go.
1306
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:35,388
Football.
1307
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:39,516
- What if I get to like it better than sex?
- Half the nation does, John.
1308
01:28:40,305 --> 01:29:40,261
