In the criminal justice system
the people are represented

by two separate
yet equally important groups -

the police who investigate crime,

and the Crown prosecutors
who prosecute offenders.

These are their stories.

It's an oxymoron.
No, it's not.

Matty, what are you talking about?

Sausages are made from meat,
not soya.

They certainly ain't made
from vegetables.

Why should veggies be denied
the pleasure of a sausage roll?

And it is half the fat.
And half the taste.

I'm at the peak of my fitness.

Do not let
this cuddly exterior fool you.

Blimey! Who died?

My office...now.

He's in there.

How could anyone?

He's five, maybe six.

Looks like he's only been dead
a few hours.

Contusions round the...

Are you OK, Joy?

Take your time, love.

Contusions round the neck.

Petichiae round the eyes.

A bang to the back of the head.

There's curvilinear abrasions here
and here,

suggesting strangulation.

And there's this.

Caused by
something sharp and pointed,

bigger than a pin or a needle,
though.

Looks like a letter R.

What's that on his lips?

There was a popping noise
when I moved him

to examine the head wound.

This was on the floor.

Someone's poured the whole lot
into his mouth.

Crackle Candy.

Just when you think
you've seen it all.

How can we have a body when
the kid hasn't even been missed?

Cos the parents probably did it.

Maybe they're at work.
It's half term.

Even the parents here with jobs
can't afford a child minder.

They haven't even noticed
he's missing.

Keep them as far away as possible.

There's CCTV all over this estate.
They must have caught something.

If you can find one that works.

I'll get Intel onto it.
Talk to the kids.

See if any of their mates
have gone AWOL.

Darren's in the park doing it
with Shania Chapman.

How old's Darren?
11.

11. Whatever happened
to a game of conkers?

What's conkers?

Conor. Conor.

Conor.

What's happening here?
You all right, son. What's up?

My brother Conor was supposed
to meet me hours ago.

How old's your brother?
Six.

When did you last see him?
This morning.

I saw him.
He was playing over there.

Then this smelly man
come and took him.

Baseball cap,

with like a beard.

And wearing a leather jacket.
That's what you said.

And you saw him with Conor?

He smelled like petrol.

Right.
Devlin.

You were so close
you could smell him?

He walked past her, didn't he?

When he walked past you,
was Conor with him then? No.

He went in with Conor,
but he come out on his own. OK.

They just picked up Conor's mum
from work.

She's on her way to the mortuary.

I was late for work.

I didn't kiss him goodbye.

I'm very sorry, but we're going
to need to ask you some questions.

Do you think he was really scared?

You've had some contact with
Social Services over the kids?

My ex hit Liam once.

When I found out I packed his bags.

So there wasn't an adult
you could leave him with?

You think I could afford
a supernanny?

I work 12 hours a day to keep a roof
over our heads.

I can't give up
cos it's the school holidays.

So Liam looks after Conor
while you're at work? Yeah.

Liam and the girls.

That's Paige Ward?
Paige and her mate.

Always coming round
asking if they can babysit.

Conor loved them.

Can I get Buddy back?

That's his toy dog.
He took him everywhere.

Of course. We need to keep him
a bit longer,

but we'll let you have him back
as soon as we can. I promise.

Julie, have you ever seen this man
around the estate?

We think he's a mechanic.

Yeah. He looks like my neighbour's
boyfriend - Rob something.

No. He works at the garage
on Cold Harbour Lane.

You think it was him?

Maybe you should call your brief.

I don't need one cos I know nothing
about no little boy.

I'm a red-blooded bloke. Look under
my mattress if you don't believe me.

A witness saw you take him
into the flats.

Only, you came out alone
and he ended up dead.

The boy lived in the flat
next door to your girlfriend.

A witness spotted you abduct him.
They need their eyes testing.

I banged on my missus' door
for ten minutes.

Then I went back to work.
Did anyone see you leave?

I don't know, do I?

There was a girl. There was a girl.

She must have been about twelve-ish.

That's it?
Yeah.

She had like fair hair.

She was a skinny thing.

And an Arsenal shirt.

And this was at Lexden House?
Right by the door,

like she was waiting
for someone to come out.

Here's the problem, Paige.

You say you saw the man at
the empty flats they're pulling
down.

He went inside with Conor.

I don't like her playing
near them flats.

We think you saw the man
at Lexden House where Conor lived.

No. Are you sure
it wasn't Lexden House?

It was Peldon. I ain't lying, Mum.

Paige don't tell lies.
She's a good girl.

You've never been to Lexden House
at any time? No.

Are you sure about that?
I said, didn't I? I told you.

Why's he picking on me?
We just need you to help us out.

Yeah. Would you like a drink?
Want a cup of tea, Matty?

Mrs Ward, would you like
a cup of tea?

Cheers. Two sugars.
OK.

I chewed my nails when I was a kid.

Especially if I was nervous.

We had a teacher who'd bang his hand
on the table when he saw me do it.

Of course,
that only made me do it even more.

You chew your nails
cos you're nervous, don't you?

The thing is, Paige,

we've spoken to the man
that you saw with Conor.

He says you saw him at Lexden House
where Conor lived.

He was by Peldon.
And you're absolutely certain?

Cross my heart. I won't be angry
if you've made a mistake. We all do.

If you don't believe her,
you can ask her mate.

Joined at the hip them two.

Someone else saw what happened?

Rose. She was with me
the whole time.

Who is it?
Police.

Open up, please.

Got a warrant?

Is your mum there, Rose?
She's busy.

We just need you to open the door.

I'm only supposed to open the door
if she screams.

Thank you.

I don't do threesomes.
Your mate will have to wait.

Actually, we would like
to talk to Rose

about the boy who died
in the empty flats.

Rose don't know nothing about it.

Well, we think
she could be a witness.

So we'd like you both to come
to the station for a video ID.

Both girls picked out Denton
from the video ID.

We have enough to charge him.

And Denton identified Paige
outside the dead boy's flat.

Or he saw her at the murder scene.
Denton has no previous with kids.

The cause of death
was by manual strangulation.

No signs of sexual assault.

He's been flying under the radar.
The girls saw him.

I still think Paige is lying.
Because she chews her nails?

It's just a feeling.
We can talk to her again.

If the girls saw Denton take
the kid, someone else must have.

Someone did.

There's something you need to see.

This is Denton outside
his girlfriend's flat.

At 9:31 he heads
towards the car park.

Then at 9:35...

Another camera picks them up
heading towards Peldon House.

Please, God, tell me
this isn't what I think it is.

Look at her. Face of an angel.

Paige seems to trust you.

You take Rose, but I want a CPS
member watching the interviews.

I want both girls arrested
and cautioned before they speak.

You understand that you can have
a solicitor here if you want one?

We don't need one. She ain't done
nothing wrong, have you? No.

OK.

I want to talk about what happened
to little Conor.

'You went out to play with
your friend Paige. Is that right?'

'Yeah. We played football.'
'OK.'

Do you know Conor -
You know she does.

Miss Shaw, I need Rose to answer.
Come on, then.

Rose, did you go to Conor's flat
the morning he died?

Yeah. Liam left him alone.

So you and Paige
took him out to play?

It ain't nice being left alone.
Will this take much longer?

Is there somewhere you need to be?
I can get a social worker.

You don't know me.
Just get on with it, yeah?

Where did you take Conor to play?

By Peldon House.

But then this man come
and took Conor inside.

You know that's where we found
Conor, Peldon House?

Did he just lay down and die?

I think you know how he died, Rose.

I don't think there was
any man there at all.

Yes, there was a man.
Look, the man took him.

Ask him what happened to Conor.

I don't think you're telling me
the truth. Yes, I am!

You can call that social worker.
Mum, you can't leave me.

Just listen to what he says.
You say, "No comment."

I want to go home with my mum.
Stay there.

I used to sit in these rooms
just as twitchy as you. Calm down.

Kelly, listen to me.

I was worrying about
when I'd get my next drink.

Mum!
Shut up!

Kelly! Today could be the first day
you don't use. You do have a choice.

Your habit or your daughter.

Mum. Mum! Mum! Mum, please!

So you like Arsenal?

They're the best. It's OK to support
them if you're from South London

cos really they're from Woolwich.
They moved north in the past.

That's right. And you have number
11 on your shirt. Van Persie?

Rachel Yankey done this talk
at our school. Arsenal Ladies.

It's all she goes on about.

Maybe one day
you'll be the next Yankey.

I'll never be as good as her.
I played a bit as a kid.

We had a scout from Arsenal
come round our school.

Only, I was so nervous
about not being picked

I pulled a sickie.
So you didn't even try?

I wanted to, but the truth is
I was too scared of messing up.

I've never told anyone that before.
I feel better now I've told you.

You know when you try
and keep a secret,

and you wanna tell,
it sort of hurts to keep it inside.

If you share it with a friend,
it feels better.

You see, Paige,
I think you have a secret

about what happened to little Conor.

And we're friends, aren't we?

Let me share your secret.

Make it stop hurting.

Mum.

She's so close I can smell it.

When my girls were little,
I took them to the fair one Sunday.

We were queuing up. I was paying
for them to go on this ride.

A typical Sunday dad,
over-compensating.

I've got toys and prizes I'd won.

Pop corn. Candy floss.
All that stuff.

I turned round,
and the little un' had gone.

Just disappeared,
and the place was mobbed.

That is
really, truly frightening to me.

Do you know where she was?

And me a copper, an' all!

She'd sneaked
into the stall next door,

and was trying to nick a goldfish.

I tell you, kids, mate!

It's frightening.

We should get back in there.

Yeah.

Just give us a minute.

Tell me it ain't true
you got them girls in there.

They wouldn't hurt my Conor.
They wouldn't!

We're just talking to them
at the moment.

But they're just kids.
Tell me they didn't do it!

Please, I need it.

That's you, isn't it, Paige?

Number 11, like Rachel Yankey.

And that's Rose, isn't it?

And that's Conor.

You see, there's cameras
all over the estate.

They take pictures
of people walking about,

going in and out of the blocks.

This picture was taken about
20 minutes before Conor died.

There's other pictures
that show the man you picked out

leaving the estate
before Conor died.

Do you think mum realises
just how serious this is?

Who wants to believe their kid's
involved with something like this?

The poor woman's in shock.

I would be if that was
one of my girls sat there.

Maybe we should get Matt to ask
again if they want a brief.

She's gonna spill any second.

You know I love you, babe,
no matter what you done.

You have to tell
the policeman the truth.

Who went into Peldon House
with Conor?

Just me and Rose.

And little Conor. We took him.

And did someone hurt Conor?

He was crying.

He wanted his mum.

And Rose put her hands
around his neck.

He tried to get her off,

but he fell back and banged his head
against the wall.

It's OK, baby. It's OK.

What happened next, Paige?
She got on top of him.

'Started squeezing his neck again.

When she got off he just lay there.'

And then she got out this compass,

like we use in Maths,

and told me to scratch my name
on his tummy.

And you did it?

I only did the P.

I couldn't do the rest.

Then she took it off me,

and done another line
to make it an R for Rose.

Can we go home now?

'Police have arrested
two girls aged 10 and 13

on suspicion of the murder
of five-year-old Conor Reid.

Conor was found dead
at the Kelvedon Estate last week.

It's believed the girls were moved
to a secret location last night

after the police station came under
siege from angry protestors.'

This is getting out of hand,
and we haven't even charged them.

Little girl killers -
the public can't stomach it.

It's understandable.

Kids killing kids.

This is as bad as it gets.

What are the girls saying?

They blame each other.
What about the forensics?

The girls were tested too late
for contact trace evidence.

We're waiting on the analysis
of their clothing.

Till then there's no way to know
who is telling the truth?

The police believe
Paige is telling the truth,

that Rose is the killer.
She cooperated fully.

She'll give evidence
against Rose in court.

What does her brief want in return?
A Section 73 agreement.

Paige has given a statement

detailing exactly how Rose Shaw
killed Conor Reid.

She's a witness, nothing more.

Your client carved her initial
into the dead boy's skin.

She colluded with her friend
to concoct a story.

Under duress from Rose Shaw.
Come on, Luke!

Rose is three years younger
than your client.

And bright as a button.
Paige has learning difficulties.

The police believe Rose Shaw
acted alone. A jury will, too.

Paige pleads guilty
to assisting an offender.

She's practically handing you
Rose Shaw with bells on.

The least you can do
is drop the charges.

That's the deal.
Take it or leave it.

We sign that agreement,
there's no going back.

Paige gets immunity except
on assisting an offender.

OK. Get the papers signed.

But we charge Rose with murder.

Who's her brief?

You so don't want to know.

Come on. How bad can it be?

There he is, Balls of Steel.

Kim.
You don't call. You don't write.

You didn't seriously expect
any deals?

You did get my email? Don't tell me
it's still floating in cyberspace.

I told our new clerk when we need
to disclose something to the Crown

now means now.
What are you disclosing?

I've brought you a spare copy
just in case.

Deep breaths.

Rose Shaw is ten years old.

She played no part
in this horrific crime,

and is devastated to learn
her best friend says otherwise.

I ask you to release this poor child
into her mother's care.

Miss Sharkey, much as it irks me
to have to consider

locking up a ten-year-old,
Paige Ward has your client

choking a boy to death
with her bare hands.

I simply cannot ignore
such a statement.

Indeed you cannot, My Lord,
were said statement taken legally.

However... I suggest
that is not the case,

and hereby apply to have
Paige Ward's interview excluded.

I request an immediate adjournment.
The Crown have not been informed
of any such application.

And yet Miss Phillips
appears to have a copy
right there in front of her.

Because you handed it over
five minutes ago.

Either it was disclosed
or it was not, Mr Steel.

Continue, Ms Sharkey.

At her interview, Paige was not
accompanied by a solicitor

or an appropriate adult.

She was accompanied by her mother
who refused legal representation.

A woman with
an IQ below a 12-year-old's.

Unlike their morals,
which my colleague shares.

Miss Sharkey, Mr Steel,
my chambers now, please.

After meeting Paige's mother
I had her IQ tested.

We also found she has learning
difficulties and mild autism.

There wasn't time
to second-guess her IQ.

The police had act quickly
to gather evidence.

They coerced a 13-year old girl into
saying what they wanted to hear.

They bribed her with a meal,
and chatted about her hobbies.

The officer was creating
a bond of trust.

They assumed the mother would
intervene if she was unhappy.

She wouldn't have intervened if
DS Devlin had danced the fandango.

The only one making
a song and dance is you.

What have you got for your finale -
Enough!

The whole point
of an appropriate adult

is to safeguard the rights and
welfare of young people in custody.

I intend to play this one
with a straight bat.

I'm granting
Ms Sharkey's application

to exclude the statement.

That statement
put Rose's hands round Conor's neck.

The Section 73 based on it,
now we can't even use it!

You must have realised Tina Ward
wasn't an appropriate adult.

Do I look like Derren Brown?

She came across
like half the adults we meet.

We don't deal with Mensa candidates.

Any other judge would have thrown
Sharkey out of court.
Blame Justice Pedotti.

Do we have a case
without that statement?

Please tell me forensics
will confirm Rose's guilt.

Without a doubt. Conor's DNA will
be all over Rose Shaw's clothing.

Let's get this over with, then.

We represent Conor,
which means we represent you.

We're certain the forensic analysis
of the girl's clothing

will give us the evidence we need
to put Rose behind bars
for a long time.

She'll go to prison?

Initially she'll remain
in secure local authority care.

When she's old enough she'll go
to a young offenders' institution.

Then an adult prison.

Her whole childhood. She won't be
released until her early 20s.

I saw this woman
on the news last night.

She said Rose Shaw was Satan reborn,

that they should bring back hanging
just for her.

I've never heard so much hate
in someone's voice.

Public feeling is very strong.

All these flowers on the estate,

sack loads of cards every day
like they all knew him.

All of them out there
feeding off my boy's death.

Then it takes over their lives.

It's like they need it.

The funny thing is all I want...

..all I need is to let it go.

The trial can help you do that.

Sending her to prison won't help me.

It won't bring my boy back.

Most victims' families find
it gives them a sense of closure.

Closure? This ain't closure.

This is revenge.

No, that little girl
don't deserve it.

She's been through enough.

We live on the same estate.
I know what goes on in there.

She broke the law
in the most terrible way.

She's a child.

Want to hide her behind a ten-foot
wall so no-one has to look at her?

No-one has to ask her who's really
responsible for Conor's death?

No.

No, no. It's too easy.

Prosecuting kids is never easy.

My Conor, he used to...

he liked to draw them pictures,

the ones where you put
the paint through straws.

He loved dogs.

That's how I wanna remember him.

My happy little boy.

I don't want
my memories clouded by hate.

Would you want your son brought up
in a world with no hope?

You can't save Conor.

But you can save her.

Yeah, you can give
Rosie Shaw a life.

You can forgive her?

I hate what she did

with every bone in my body, but...

..but I'm a mum.

I can't hate a child.

You say you represent me,

then this is what you do.

You make Conor's life
mean something.

You find out why she did it,
and you get that little girl help.

We have to help her.

We can't just drop a murder charge.

The DPP will have your balls
and mine. Not just the DPP.

The Attorney General
wants Rose convicted of murder.

So that's it. Our hands are tied.

Not on my watch.

You heard what Mrs Reid wants.

What do we do?

My granddaughter is the same age.

She spends her time riding ponies
and making daisy chains.

I want to know
what makes a girl of ten

put her hands round a child's neck,

and squeeze the life out of him.

Rose, did you worry what your mum
was doing with these men?

My mum says that psychiatrists
mess up your brain waves.

Is that what you're gonna do to me?

Dr Marsh believes
the abuse changed the physiology
of Rose's nervous system,

which means her responsibility
was diminished at the killing.

We offer Sharkey a deal, then,

get Rose the help she needs.

The police just called.
Forensics are in.

Are you sure?
Forensics don't lie. Kids do.

But everyone was so certain.

There are 148 microscopic spots
of blood on the front of her shirt.

Which means that when the boy died,

the one with her hands
around his throat was Paige Ward.

We have a Section 73
signed and sealed.

You can't charge Paige
with anything further in this case.

Your client had Conor's blood
all over her shirt.

Which means
that when Conor Reid died

the person in contact with him
was indeed Paige,

and not Rose Shaw.

It isn't true. It was Rose.

Must I remind you again, gentlemen,

my client isn't here
to be interrogated.

Paige, you trust me, don't you?

I need you to tell me the truth.

We can walk out of here right now.

It's not what you think.
You don't have to say another word.

I want to explain.
After she done it, Rose just left.

I picked Conor up,

but he made this noise,
like a cough sort of.

Why did you move him? I wanted
to take him home to his mum.

But then Rose come back
with the compass.

I swear I didn't hurt Conor.

I put the toys there
in case he got lonely.

The pathologist
has re-examined Conor's body.

He found pulmonary
interstitial emphysema -

a build up of pressure
in Conor's lungs

caused by blood
blocking the airways.

It could have been released
when Paige lifted him up

or when she was choking him.

So much for forensics proving
which one did it.

Sharkey will have a field day
with this.

Maybe not.

According to the forensic report,

there were seven curvilinear
abrasions on Conor's neck.

Three at the front
were made by Conor trying to prise
his attacker's hands off.

Four at the back made by
his attacker choking him.

The report said
without finding Conor's skin

in the fingernail scrapings

there was no way to know
which girl made them.

But Paige's fingernails
are bitten to the quick.

The nail marks
on the back of Conor's neck.

Rose Shaw has a defect on the nail
of her left forefinger.

The same defect
can be seen in those marks.

148 spots of blood on a shirt
spell murder to a jury.

Four nail marks
spell a bit of rough play.

You should give juries
more credit, Kim.

Lucky for you we don't intend
to put this to a jury.

A deal?
I'll accept a manslaughter plea

due to diminished responsibility.

Rose gets a hospital order
with a Section 41 restriction.

You want to put her in hospital?

Don't you? Rose needs treatment.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I'm giving your client
a way out of a murder charge.

It's in Rose's best interests
to have someone try and fix her.

The child's a monster.
I doubt anyone could fix her.

You're only offering a deal
because you're worried I'll win.

Forget Rose. You just don't want
to give up your 15 minutes.

Cases like this come along
once in a lifetime.

They're career makers.
This isn't a short cut to silk!

It's a child's life.
Do calm down, James,

or you'll be comparing ulcers
with George.

The jury are going to see
a very pretty little girl

and hear how the Crown made a deal
with a teenager

who had the victim's blood
all over her shirt.

I know who I'd believe.

She's a killer.

When the jury see photographs
of a strangled five-year-old,

they'll want her in a prison cell.

The prison system can't provide
the treatment this girl needs.

Why the preoccupation
about treatment?

The public don't care about
treating killers. They ought to.

If we send her to hospital,
she will be released

only if and when
she's no longer a danger.

Justice Pedotti will make sure
she gets a minimum of 12 years.

There's no votes in being soft
on children who commit crimes.

I don't decide on the basis of what
gets the Home Secretary most votes.

Lock her away,
and you might as well kill her.

I'm not asking. As Director
of Public Prosecutions, I'm telling.

You try that girl for murder...

and you make sure she's convicted.

That woman was put on this earth
just to irritate my duodenum.

Whatever it takes,
you guarantee that that jury find

on manslaughter,
diminished responsibility,

and not murder. I want that girl
in a hospital, not a prison.

What about the DPP?
Screw the DPP?

I answer to Conor's mother
on this one.

Dr Guinott talks about kids being
like white cement.

Whatever falls on them
makes an impression.

In Rose's case,
her abusive upbringing

means she has a callous
lack of concern for others.

So she lashes out.

Is she in control of her actions?

I don't believe at the time of
the killing she intended to kill

or understood
the permanency of death.

Can her condition be treated?
It must be treated.

Rose needs intensive psychotherapy

and pharmaceutical treatment.
Thank you.

No further questions.

Did you examine Paige Ward?

No. Because the Crown
didn't ask you to.

That's right. Yet Rose told you
repeatedly Paige killed Conor.

Yes, but denial -

How are we to know
what Paige Ward's mental state was

when Conor's blood splashed all over
the front of her shirt

or when she carved her initial
into his stomach?

Does my learned friend assume
the witness has psychic powers?

How else could he answer
such questions?

Please reserve questions regarding
blood evidence

for the appropriate expert witness.
Apologies. No further questions.

"Evil from the day she was born."

How can a mother say that
about her own child?

Trial by tabloid,
just what we needed.

The trial's not even over

and she has the public baying
for her daughter's blood!

Along with the jury.

Any chance of them believing
her diminished responsibility,
her mum just blew it.

Find a way to make
that jury see what we see.

I'm sorry. I don't know
what else we can do.

Make them see Conor Reid
is not the only victim.

Rose Shaw is an abused child.
She's a victim, too.

No comment.

Reporting restrictions exist
to protect your daughter.

You don't care about her welfare.

I don't know what you mean.
Thanks to your snivelling
to the tabloids,

the whole country have already made
up their minds about her.

You shouldn't be talking to her.

Why not? She isn't a witness.
She should be.

If the jury saw her true colours,
they'd lock her up, not Rose.

So let's call her.

Can you tell the court
how you make your living?

I ain't on trial here.

Can you answer the question, please?

I'm a masseur. You're a prostitute,
are you not?

We don't all have parents
to fund us through university.

Is Rose aware of what you do?

When the police came
to talk to Rose,

you were engaged in a sex act
while she was in the next room.

Plenty of mums
work from home these days.

Rose told Dr Marsh
she'd seen her mother working.

Doctors twist things. She'd also
seen sadistic pornographic films

which you watched with clients.
They turn her into a killer?

Did one DVD show a man passing out
having been manually asphyxiated

during sex, and another showed a man
taking pleasure in being cut?

You can't prove she saw them.
Can you prove she didn't?

I done my best for her.
Were you doing your best for Rose

when you tried to give her to
a stranger when she was six weeks?

I was 16. It weren't easy
stuck on your own with a kid.

What about when you sold her cot
to fund your crystal meth habit?

I had a problem then. I owed money.
Rose don't go without now.

Because you work as a prostitute
in a room next door to hers?

She don't see nothing.
She doesn't hear it?

She doesn't deal with the fallout?

Like the time you were beaten
senseless by a client?

That only happened once.
How would you have protected Rose

if this client had decided
to turn his attentions to her?

He didn't.
Can you be sure of that?

You were unconscious
for quite some time.

It wasn't until your next client
turned up six hours later

that an ambulance was called.
Rose was OK.

Rose was four.
She thought you were dead.

But you don't really care
what happens to her. Not true.

You don't care that she's choking
a five-year-old boy so long as it
doesn't interfere with your habit.

You're making out I'm a bad mum.

I am shouting it loud and clear.
You are a terrible mum.

You haven't got the first idea
how to take care of your own child.

I didn't kill that kid.
You might as well have done.

You turned her into exactly
what she is, did you not?

No further questions, My Lord.

On the charge of murder,
how do you find?

Guilty.

Rose Shaw,

you have been found guilty
of murder.

You alone are responsible
for the death

of a defenceless five-year-old boy.

What you did to that child is
every parent's worst nightmare.

I've heard all I need
regarding your state of mind

and the circumstances
of your background,

and see no need to wait for
further reports before sentencing.

I hereby sentence you to be detained
at Her Majesty's pleasure

with a minimum term of 12 years.

Rose!

Mum! Mum, please!

Will she serve the whole 12 years?

I don't know.

Dr Marsh has agreed to work with her
in the secure unit

and when she's 15,

rest assured, I will personally
appeal against her move to prison.

Connor used to sleep in my bed.

Never could settle him into a cot.

In my arms, he'd sleep ten hours
straight.

I used to watch him half the night
thinking how lucky I was.

Bet no-one ever looked at Rose
and felt lucky.

Thanks.
