I think you can tell that JC has had more experience of the justice system than AW. He was very composed when he was being cross-examined - only giving one-word answers a lot of the time - but under AW's cross-examination she's getting really angry, saying "I hate the way you’re making it out… I...

I think they will and they know it, and IMO that was probably their original motivation for not seeking medical help for Logan when he was so desperately injured, and then for covering up his death. AW must have known that if anyone in a professional safeguarding role did find out about what...

This isn't particularly insightful but I just can't get over JC's ridiculous account of finding Logan dead and nobody calling 999. Innocent people do not behave like that.

This is probably her best chance at a defence imo, but even if the jury accepts this version of events I think they could still find her guilty of causing/allowing the death of a child.

That last update almost makes it sound as if they adjourned for the day because everyone was so grossed out by the pimple and toenail videos...

I am astonished at her YouTube video watching. But it could suggest that she possibly didn't know how serious Logan's injuries were at that point. I mean nobody, surely, would watch a series of random YouTube trash videos if they knew someone in their house was critically injured. If she did...

I'm also Welsh and I think this is spot-on

That all makes sense, and definitely explains why the prosecution included it and highlighted it. I guess I just wonder what the defendants were actually doing with the curtains as well though. Seems a weird thing to do, to be fiddling with curtains at a time like that (the lights make much more...

Very grateful for all of the trial updates posted here, even though it's so upsetting. It's truly harrowing, what Logan went through at the hands of people who were supposed to love and protect him, and I'm not surprised that some of the jury became too upset to continue and had to take a break...

Giving inconsistent and irrelevant details surrounding a moment like that is very strange. I've been in the horrible situation of having to call emergency services when someone has died. It was years ago but I still remember everything about that day as clearly as if it were yesterday... Very...

But in all the cases you cite, those crimes led to serious overhauls of the systems they worked in. Palliative care, especially, was massively changed after Shipman. And after Ian Huntley, school safeguarding checks were significantly tightened. The same should happen with the police. It's not...

I posted on this thread earlier when it seemed like AW might not be involved, or it could still have been some kind of accident. But this latest news is truly sickening. This poor, poor child.

The mother has an 18-month-old baby (born in January 2020) so it's plausible that she would happen to be awake at 5.30am because the baby is fussing, go downstairs to get some milk or nappies or whatever, notice the back door is open, panic and check her five-year-old's bedroom. It's currently...

In that case, how is it that every reputable newspaper in the country is now openly and confidently insinuating his guilt (referring to him as "Sarah Everard Killer" in headlines etc) and inviting anyone who ever met him to say how much of a wrong'un he is, in print?

<modsnip> Someone asked in the last thread what was thrown out of the window of WC's house when the police arrested him - The Times article says it was a memory card or SIM card. It doesn't say whether or not it was ever recovered.

It's just very likely - as a PP said, if they'd paid her, there would likely be a photo as well. "Exclusive" only means that nobody else has interviewed her yet and the DM didn't buy the interview from an agency, but sent one of their own journalists to speak to her. Doorsteppping someone...

The DM clearly doorstepped her, she obviously hasn't had any media training or advice to say the things she said, and she won't have got a penny for speaking to them. It's sickening journalism from the DM but sadly unsurprising from them. I think she has shown dignity and empathy, in sharp...

I remember when the arrest happened, and the neighbour was on here and reported it all going on. Can't go back and find the posts now (way back in another thread) but much of what they said at the time tallies with the detailed The Times report of his arrest, including (iirc) something having...

Hello, I'm new and registered here because of this case. I'm a former reader of Helen's wonderful blog. Thoughts are with her family at this horribly distressing time. I'm not sure it's been mentioned here yet but apologies if it has. On Helen's blog she wrote about how IS used to make Helen...
