"""Wealthy aristocrat Constance Marten and her partner have been subjected to “relentless and dogged” attempts to tarnish their names, jurors have been told"""
My, my how dare anyone tarnish the very good name of these pillars of society?
""At the time, the defendants mistakenly believed they were “being watched”, as Marten’s parents had deployed private investigators in a “menacingly” named Operation Lynx in 2021, Mr Godfrey said""
So it was their paranoia after all.
Also, gosh how menacing was to call the operation Lynx! Were they planning to drop them in the savannah or something?
“This case is not about what could have been done differently.”
Is he serious? There is a deceased baby and we are not going to consider how things could have been done differently?
"news around the country” and the “country became obsessed”
Wow, fancy the country becoming "obsessed" about the safety of a new born baby who could be at risk!! Don't people have hobbies?
"Irrespective of the rights and wrongs"
The rights and wrongs are central to this case why irrespective? Seriously, this man.
“We say these convictions, and ones from Wales from 2017, are of no assistance whatsoever in determining how baby Victoria died"
And then why did MG go on about her nurse mother and her 4 houses?
What percentage of the 4.5 hours he spoke talk about Victoria dying?
It was all about them, wonderful and hard done by them.
"If there was a wall of silence being maintained they would say nothing at all. Nothing in interview and nothing in evidence. That is not the position here.”
Yes it is. They tried to control the narrative by choosing to say the bits that made them look good (in their deluded minds) and closed ranks when it was time for cross examination. Of course, it backfired for MG.
JMO MOO
