Philpott trial day 5

At the start of this week I could follow the proceedings over twitter, now the whole thing just makes me feel ill.

What an awful, awful state of affairs and the fact that these 6 innocent lives fell foul of these people's lifestyles makes me both angry and desperately sad.

Philpott Trial Day 6

3.40pm: PC Atwal tells the jury she went to 18 Victory Road on May 2 after a call from Philpott about a threat Ms Willis made to him the previous day.

They hear that, when PC Atwal told him they were not going to caution or arrest her, he flew into a rage.

She said: "He started punching out into thin air. He went next door and I heard a thumping noise. It could have been a door or a wall."

4.15pm: The next witness is PC Lucy Moorcroft, who tells the jury Philpott was "angry" when told Ms Willis was not to be arrested for making threats.

She said he told police he would "take matters into his own hands" and said he would go to the papers.

"Mick was paranoid about getting the kids (those he has with Ms Willis). He was adamant he wanted full custody," Mr Taylor said.

He said Philpott asked him to try to provoke Ian Cousins into punching Philpott. He said: "Mick wanted someone to film him being punched so he could use it in his custody battle."

Bumping up

 

[badhorsie]

This whole sordid affair and general depravity sickens me to the core. Those poor children, they must have loved their parents for them to betray them like this

 

[Fluttershy]

So, we might have a verdict on Tuesday. Any thoughts on how it will go anyone?

 

[Sarahlou]

^ I don't see anything but the guilty verdict being given, personally. You?

 

[Fluttershy]

Fairly sure for Mick, less so for Mairead.

THE jury deliberating verdicts on three people accused of killing six children in a house fire in Derby has been told it can return a majority verdict.

Jury is apparently back in.

Philpotts guilty

Paul Mosly also guilty

Mick Philpott, his wife Mairead and family friend Paul Mosley were this afternoon convicted of killing the couple's six children by starting a fire at his Derby home.

The verdict came after a 31-day trial, with a majority verdict of 10-2.

 

[Cherwell]

According to the BBC, the only majority verdict was in the case of the woman. Both men found guilty unanimously.

Mick Philpott and Paul Mosley were found guilty by unanimous verdicts, while Mairead Philpott was convicted by a majority, at Nottingham Crown Court.

There was documentary on this case on Sky News earlier... they played some of the secret recordings made of the Philpotts by police. If possible its even more shocking to hear it from their own mouths. They've interviewed brothers who tried to help rescue the children - they're clearly still devastated and you wonder how their lives can ever be normal again.
Hope the Philpotts and Mosely never see outside a prison again.

 

[Wolf Dreamer]

If you can find video of the press conference they did after the fire.. so much fakery.

 

[Wolf Dreamer]

And in another recording, he tells Mairead in a police van: ‘My brief said that for the judge to do what he’s doing, he’s got to have some big balls because there’s no evidence - they’ve got nothing."

Says alot - when their own blood - agree's with guilty. But JMO Mick Philpott - destroyed more lives than went up with fire.

 

[Cappuccino]

Philpott's lawyer has just asked the judge to give the minimum possible sentence. I hope the judge ignores him - this guy has previous convictions for attempted murder and GBH, not to mention a lengthy history of domestic violence that he was getting away with.

He should get life.
