The accused has been giving evidence today, explaining he carried a knife for his own protection.

Also contains an uncensored video of the moment of impact with the car, which seems a bit unnecessary to me.

‘SOMEONE STOLE MY CLOTHES – AND WORE THEM TO MURDER JADEN MOODIE’

5DEC2019

A County Lines drug dealer accused of stabbing schoolboy Jaden Moodie to death told a court he was framed by a masked killer wearing his clothes. Jaden, 14, was knocked off his moped by a stolen car and knifed in the back nine times while dealing drugs for the Beaumont Crew – AKA Let’s Get Rich – in Leytonstone on January 8. Ayoub Majdouline, 19, and at least two other gang members jumped out of the black Mercedes B class…

The rest is behind a paywall.

Saying a bad boy stole his clothes and ran away is a “good” defence to explain away the dna evidence. I just find it very hard to believe that a teenage boy just happened to own a pair of yellow rubber gloves which were also presumably stolen.

Majdouline has claimed the clothes were stolen after he left them in a JD Sports bag in a drugs safe house and were then worn during the killing of Jaden.

However, in his closing submissions at the Old Bailey on Monday, Glasgow said: “The idea that he simply left his bag of clothes behind is preposterous.”

I wish there was more detailed reporting. I would love to know if it was claimed the rubber gloves were also stolen with the clothes. Because everyone brings a pair of rubber gloves to a hotel don’t they?

Judge Richard Marks QC sent jurors out to deliberate on verdicts just before 1pm on Tuesday.

I've found a more detailed report of his cross-examination here - more to read at the link

Mr Glasgow said: “They thought I will wear those clothes while I’m committing a murder but they also took your rubber gloves?”

Majdouline said he did not know why the killer had taken his clothes but he said: “I had spare clothes. So why would I wear clothes that I had been wearing all day and had been seen on camera, rather than my spare clothes?

“When you realised your missing jacket was being worn by one of Jaden’s killers did you think you better tell the police?” asked Mr Glasgow [...]

...Later, being re-examined by his defence counsel, James Scobie QC, Majdouline said he wore the rubber gloves when bagging up large consignments of drugs [...]

Yellow rubber gloves would be cumbersome for bagging up drugs. Drug dealers tend to use the blue medical gloves when preparing their wares.

It's too far-fetched. The dumped knife also had his DNA on it so he would have to be claiming he left his knife with his bag of clothes too, but he is claiming he carried a knife for protection. It doesn't make any sense that he would leave it behind. Plus the prosecution says the killer was wearing his distinctive trainers.

He has been found Guilty AF

[Legally Bland]

A boy who was "butchered" in a drugs turf war after being groomed by drug dealers had been arrested in a crack den months earlier but police did not contact child exploitation staff, a report has found.

[...]

A serious case review found chances to protect him were missed by agencies.

Three months before his death, Jaden was found with an older boy in a county lines flat in Bournemouth with 39 wraps of crack cocaine, two packets of cocaine, a mobile phone and £325 in cash.

According to the review, the appropriate adult who sat in on his police interview said he appeared to be "a vulnerable young person frightened by what he was being groomed and coerced into by others".

He gave the impression that "he definitely wanted to find a way out of the mess he was getting into," they said.

Following his release, two Dorset Police officers drove him home to London but did not involve specialist child exploitation workers.

Jaden's school in Waltham Forest was not told about the arrest but excluded him for a separate incident.
