Why wouldn't butter melt in Shauna's mouth? What is the pros saying? I never herad any reference to butter all along this case :notgood: ... Anyone?

"Butter wouldn't melt" is a common phrase used in Britain to describe someone as innocent and pleasant, like you'd say it about someone's cute little child "awk look at the wee girl, butter wouldn't melt!"

The allusion in this expression is to people who maintain such a cool demean or that they don't even have the warmth to melt butter.

The phrase is usually used in a derogatory and critical sense and, in the past at least, was most often applied to women. Occasionally, it was used to denote a quiet meekness and sweetness of temper rather than emotional coldness;

Not literally.. Just means she is acting innocent.
Thank you for that though. It gave me a chuckle.

I've just typed out an explanation of "butter wouldn't melt" for you, but it would have confused you more! I'm sure someone will explain better, but basically "butter wouldn't melt in her mouth" means "she could do no wrong, the epitome of sweetness and innnocence"

God bless the English language!

Lol, I've never thought of how strange that must sound. It's a saying . When somebody is pretending to be innocent, well behaved etc, they're acting "like butter wouldn't melt in their mouth"

Could Nathan be confident that she wouldn't discover him and report him?

Was she party to a plan to kidnap BW? What is it that proves they were in it together?

Why was the car parked right up against the door - they said it was going to be washed on that rainy day

 

[Alyce]

I agree, so far it's more like SH knew the plan from start to finish, but not anything about her physical participation.

He has said, two against one would be far easier, were they hoping that if they terrified her, she would be too frightened to complain and the evidence points to the fact that SH was part of the plan to kidnap and take Becky away.

The jury is again being taken through the text messages between NM and SH by prosecutor William Mousley

"The concept of kidnap is raised in those messages, and it's raised by Shauna"

She says it's all a bit of a joke to keep Nathan happy.

Becky wasn't going to come quietly - it would need a lot of force to get her away

christine megson ‏@meganewswest · 12m12 minutes ago  Bristol, England
It's an awful lot easier if it's two against one, what other purpose was there for them to go there on that day?

The prosecutor said it was a "presentation". I'm guessing we weren't privy to it. He said it after he was talking about her being cold. I LOVE the phrase.

ETA: I see from other posts that there is another meaning. Mine was literal; the other is so cool. Great saying, either way!

We suggest they planned to take her back to Cotton Mill Lane

christine megson ‏@meganewswest · 11m11 minutes ago  Bristol, England
The only difference is that when they did take her back to Cotton Mill Lane she was dead.

We submit that the evidence points clearly to the fact that she was part of the plan to kidnap and take Becky away
