Yes, seems the local rags aren't doing their jobs. They should have a court contact even if they aren't attending court as they usually would.
Christopher Easey, 31, is accused of murdering his three-month-old daughter Eleanor and also faces charges of causing or allowing the death of a child and child neglect.
His wife, and Eleanor's mother, Carly Easey, 36, is facing a charge of causing or allowing the death of a child and neglect.
Both defendants, from Old Roman Bank, Terrington St Clement, have denied all charges and are facing trial on January 12 next year.
On Friday (November 12) a pre-trial review hearing was held at the Royal Courts of Justice in London in front of Mr Justice Murray.
It was adjourned for a further pre-trial review to be held on December 17.

SBM ~ I'm a bit confused by this bit. If he's accused of murder of eleanor. Are the charges about causing or allowing the death of a child and neglect related to the same child? Or a different child? There's been barely any info on this case in the news.
A post mortem found Eleanor had a fatal head injury as well as older head and neurological injuries, 31 rib fractures and five fracture sites on her limbs, and was poorly nourished.
Ms Howes said Eleanor had died of a non-accidental injury involving 'accelerated movement, in other words some form of shaking' and an impact to the head.
She added: 'It's the prosecution case that she was murdered by her father. Her mother Carly Easey is charged with allowing a death of a child as she failed to protect this vulnerable young infant from serious physical harm.'
Ms Howes described Eleanor as being significantly underweight as a result of being underfed.
[...]
Mrs Easey suffered a miscarriage in November 2018, and became pregnant again, but evidence suggested she did not 'acknowledge her condition and appeared to be in denial', said Ms Howes.
She was taken to hospital by her husband on September 12, 2019, after complaining of severe stomach cramps, but she insisted that she did not think she was pregnant as she had taken tests which were inconclusive.
Mrs Easey instead claimed that she thought her swollen abdomen was down to irritable bowel syndrome.
But she began bleeding and was given an emergency caesarean. Eleanor was found to be around two weeks premature and weighed 2.57kgs.
[...] The hospital's midwives seemed 'bothered' that she did not appear to want to care for her baby, leaving bottle feeding up to staff.
[...] Eleanor remained in neo-natal intensive acre, but staff noted that her parents 'did not visit her very much'.
[...]
Mr Easey was said to have explained away a third set of injuries when his daughter was found to have a 'a yellowish bruise' to her hairline.
He told his employer that it was caused by a dog jumping up at Eleanor's carry car seat at a Pets at Home store when he was buying a dog cage.
But police recovered CCTV images of him going to the store which showed no evidence of a dog jumping up.
Mr Easey drove his wife to work on the afternoon of December 18, claiming that he had Eleanor with him in his car.
But during the return home, he claimed he had to make an emergency stop when a car pulled out in front of him, meaning Eleanor's head was jerked back in the car seat, said Ms Howes.
He later told police that he 'heard a squeak' from her and when he got home. He noticed that she was gulping her milk and later saw that she had stopped breathing.

Totally agree. Also, if they really were not interested in looking after her why was she allowed to go home with them? Could she not have been fostered or adopted?
IIRC CE was also pregnant again when they were arrested after Eleanor had died. Does anyone know whether or not she had that baby too?
About them looking like a mismatched couple, I thought exactly this too!
Unfortunately the courts can not remove a child without evidence, if the medical evidence backs up the parents claims of accidental injury then the courts have to go with that. It sounds like there were so many concerns from other professionals and IMO those injures would not be caused by a car seat strap. I would be interested to see what the social services assessment said and what their recommendations were, as it sounds like the medical evidence and courts have prevented this baby being removed from parents
I think the mother looks a little slow and the father looks like he is there for his own satisfaction.
Giving evidence on Monday (January 17), Carly Easey's mother Deborah Beddow told Sally Howes QC, prosecuting, she was "shocked" to hear arrangements were being made to withdraw life support for Eleanor.
She said Carly was "very, very quiet" and "really shocked" but added that Christopher "didn't say much really".
After Eleanor's death Mrs Beddow said Carly told her "she didn't think she was a good mum".

On Friday (January 21) Thomas Oakley, bar manager at the Ffolkes Hotel at Hillington, where Carly Easey worked as a waitress, gave evidence. [...]
Following the incident, which happened as Christopher Easey was returning to Morton on the Hill with Eleanor after having dropped Carly off at work on December 18 2019, Christopher Easey said he had "braked hard causing her to hit her head backwards".
However, during a conversation Mr Oakley had with Christopher Easey at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, Mr Oakley said he was also told by Christopher that Eleanor "hit her head on the bars of her cot".
[...]
The jury of six men and six women also heard from Carl Godfrey, general manager of the Ffolkes Hotel where Carly Easey worked. [...]
Earlier the court heard a statement from Deborah Godfrey, a chef at the Ffolkes Hotel who thought of Eleanor as a "miracle baby" as "Carly told me she couldn't have children".
She said that during the summer of 2019 Carly had "put a bit of weight on" but told her she had been to the doctors and was told it was due to water retention.
Mrs Godfrey said: "She would get upset when people said she looked pregnant. She said she had done many pregnancy tests but they had all come back negative".

On Monday (January 24) Felicity Grunberg, a midwife at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) in King's Lynn, said Eleanor's birth was treated as a "concealed pregnancy".
She told Sally Howes Qc, prosecuting, it appeared Carly Easey was in labour although "she didn't think she was".
Mrs Grunberg said Carly Easey said she suffered from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and thought that might be the cause.
She had told the midwife she had suffered a miscarriage the year before, which had been "a traumatic experience" for her.
Although she was not shocked at discovering she was pregnant Carly Easey "did say she didn't feel ready for a baby".
Mrs Grunberg said as it was a “concealed pregnancy”, in that the pregnancy had not been declared it to any health professional prior to birth, a safeguarding referral would be made.
Mrs Grunberg was asked how she found Carly Easey's husband, Christopher Easey, to be.
She said that while he "appeared to be supportive" of his wife she remembered him "several times making reference to birthing calves".
Mrs Grunberg said: "I assumed he was of a farming background".
She said that in describing the birth, several times he said "well, you don’t do it like that with calves".

Giving evidence Oliver Wales, who had employed Mr Easey as a stockman at the Morton Hall Farm Estate, told the court their pair had had conversations about Eleanor as he had a son of a similar age.
He said during one Mr Easey had described how her baby seat had been knocked over by a dog during a visit to Pets At Home at the Longwater Retail Park.
However CCTV from the store taken on December 3 played in court showed Mr Easey carrying his daughter's seat before placing it on the floor at the checkouts where she appeared to have no contact with dogs.
Mr Wales told the court on another occasion he had seen Mr Easey walking his own dogs with Eleanor in a sling over his chest and being knocked about “like a rag doll”.
He said in other conversations Mrs Easey had described giving the baby fruit juice and pieces of biscuits and lemon cheesecake, and playing loud music by The Killers as a way of getting the baby to sleep, which he thought “inappropriate” for a three-month-old.

Transcripts of police interviews with Carly Easey were read out to the jury on Wednesday (February 16).
Asked if she had ever seen Christopher Easey shaking Eleanor, she told officers: “I have never seen him pick her up and shake her like you would a pepperpot or something.” [...]
She was also questioned about a game that saw Eleanor being rocked up and down on her parents’ knees.
“Maybe I shouldn’t have done that. Maybe she was too young. But I was told to interact with her and I thought I supported her as best as I could. I just feel like I’m doubting my own parenthood,” she said.

I'm not really sure what to make of this case. Without meaning to cause offence, they both come across as a bit 'simple'. Could it be they genuinely lacked the skills/understanding of how to appropriately look after such a young baby? The fact she kept denying she was pregnant when she quite clearly was should've been a red flag to health visitors/social services. I get the impression they needed quite a bit of support and were struggling to cope or know how to look after her but did not want to admit it. All MOO.
Giving evidence on Friday (February 25), Carly Easey told her defence barrister, Elizabeth Marsh QC, that she was not responsible for any of the injuries sustained by Eleanor.
Miss Marsh said: "Did you know that your husband was abusing Eleanor?"
The defendant replied: "No, I did not."
[...]
Miss Marsh said: "Do you now doubt your husband's explanation?"
Carly replied: "Yes, I do."
The defendant, who has since divorced her husband, described how she was left "upset" by Eleanor's death.
[...]
After Eleanor was taken to hospital Carly said Christopher had called to say he had "braked too quickly" in the car after another vehicle had pulled out.
She said he also mentioned something about Eleanor banging her head in the cot and him pulling her out of her bouncy chair when he had "tried to get her to breathe".

Miss Marsh asked whether she knew her daughter was being abused? She replied: "No".
The barrister asked whether Carly could explain the injuries to Eleanor.
She said: "No, because I didn't cause them". [...]
Sally O'Neill QC, defending Christopher Easey, asked Carly about a text she sent her husband on October 11 2019 to say she was "scared".
Miss O'Neill said: "Do you think you were treating her inappropriately and would get into trouble?"
Carly replied: "No, nothing of the sort".
Miss O'Neill put it to Carly that "at no stage did Christopher Easey deliberately cause any injury to Eleanor, that's my suggestion to you."
She replied: "I didn't cause any injury".

2nd Mar -
A father accused of murdering his three-month old baby has taken the stand to deny harming her, claiming he was the "happiest man on the planet" when she was born. [...]
Following the journey he said they noticed "two marks on her cheeks". He told Carly and they looked at the car seat and "could quite clearly see everything was in line with the straps".
Miss O'Neill said: "Had you done anything to Eleanor to cause those marks?" Christopher replied: "I certainly had not".
He was asked whether he had any reason to suspect Carly might have done anything to cause the marks. He replied: "No, I didn't at that time".
[...]
Christopher accepted Carly had undergone a bit of an "ordeal" at the hospital and he "took it on myself to be mum and dad so Carly could focus on getting better". He said: "It was part of being a father, but I felt it was putting more pressure on me - to try and be mum and dad as well as working."

Easey said he had previously denied responsibility for the death but had changed his mind as a result of hearing medical evidence presented during the trial.
"I take responsibility for Eleanor's death on the basis I shook her in a resuscitative way," he said. "I shook her beyond the means I should've done."
Despite accepting his role in the death, Easey has not changed his plea and continues to deny murder and a charge of cruelty. [...]
Easey told defence barrister Sally O'Neill QC, he had just returned from taking his wife to work when his daughter "slipped" out of his grip while he was feeding her and she hit her head.
He said he then put Eleanor in her baby bouncer but later found her slumped in it.
He told the court he picked her up and "jiggled" her "to wake her up", before performing CPR, after discovering she had stopped breathing.
Miss O'Neill asked Easey to describe the shake. He said: "It was quite a violent shake I would say." [...]
The jury heard that after performing CPR on Eleanor he held her and cuddled her for up to an hour and a half before calling 999.

During the trial Easey said Eleanor had been put in the wrong car seat as the other one was being cleaned - although this was not an explanation given when interviewed by police.
Miss Howes asked: "Had you and Carly got your heads together to invent a story to explain those marks to Eleanor's face?"
He replied: "No we hadn't. They were marks done by the car seat."
Miss Howes said: "I'm going to suggest that you and Carly knew exactly how these injuries had occurred and they were inflicted injuries."
Easy denied the injuries were inflicted and said they were caused by the car seat.
Miss Howes suggested there had been a "cover up" to try and explain Eleanor's injuries but Easey insisted: "There was no cover-up on my part at all".

Easey said he has "big, clumsy farmer hands" and "tried to handle her as gently as I could" but accepted that "sometimes I handled her a little a little bit roughly".

Easey said he never shook Eleanor, apart from the "resuscitative shake" he gave after her collapse.
Miss Howes pointed out that night was December 18, 2019, but asked why Easey had not mentioned the resuscitative shake before his trial.
He said: "It's been on my mind, it's just been hard to explain."
Miss Howes suggested it was "hard to explain you murdered your baby Eleanor?"
Easey replied: "No, I didn't murder my daughter at all."

Miss Howes said Christopher Easey had tried to give a number of different accounts of what had happened to explain the injuries to Eleanor.
During the trial he then produced yet another explanation, that he gave his daughter a "resuscitative shake" after finding her collapsed in her baby bouncer.
Easey has told the jury he did not come forward with this explanation until the trial as he felt "ashamed" and "couldn't say it" as he "felt a failure as a father".
But Miss Howes said Easey had not mentioned it before "because there was no resuscitative shake".
Miss Howes said it was the prosecution's case that this account was a "carefully constructed, detailed, well thought out pack of utter lies - it's a work of fiction.
