00:00Computers who prosecute the offenders, these are their stories.
00:07It's an oxymoron.
00:08No, it's not.
00:10Matty, what are you talking about?
00:14Sausages are made from meat, not soya, and they certainly ain't made from vegetables.
00:19Why should veggies be denied the pleasure of the sausage roll?
00:22And let's face it, Ron, it is half the fat.
00:25And half the taste.
00:26And as you know, I am at the peak of my fitness.
00:28Please, do not let this cuddly exterior fool you, son.
00:38Blimey, who died?
00:40My office.
00:42Now.
00:58He's in there.
01:14How could anyone?
01:15Come on.
01:15Come on.
01:46He's five, maybe six. Looks like he's only been dead a few hours. Contusions around the...
02:03You okay, Joy? Take your time, love.
02:09Contusions around the neck. Petechia around the eyes. A bang to the back of the head.
02:21There's curvilinear abrasions here and here, suggesting strangulation. And there's this. Caused by something sharp and pointed. Bigger than a pin or a needle, though.
02:40Looks like a letter R.
02:46What's that on his lips?
02:48There was a popping noise when I moved in to examine the head wound.
02:53This was on the floor.
02:57Someone's poured the whole lot into his mouth.
03:02Crackle candy.
03:07Just when you think you've seen it all.
03:08Crackle candy.
04:54Eleven.
04:56Whatever happened to a game of Conkers?
04:58What's Conkers?
05:00Connor!
05:03Connor!
05:06Connor!
05:08What's happening here?
05:09You all right, son? What's up?
05:11My brother Connor was supposed to meet me over at the shop hours ago.
05:15And how old's your brother?
05:17Six.
05:18When did you last see him?
05:20This morning.
05:22I saw him.
05:24He was playing over there.
05:26And then this smelly man come and took him.
05:35Baseball cat with, like, a beard.
05:38And wearing a leather jacket.
05:42That's what you said, babe.
05:44And you saw him with Connor?
05:47He smelled like petrol.
05:50Right.
05:51I mean, you were so close to him you could smell him.
05:53He walked past her, didn't he?
05:57Okay.
05:57And when he walked past you, was Connor with him then?
06:00No.
06:02He went in with Connor, but he'd come out on his own.
06:04Oh.
06:05He just picked up Connor's mum from work.
06:11She's on her wife in Monterey.
06:12Okay.
06:35I was late for work.
07:03I didn't kiss him.
07:04Goodbye.
07:12Julie, I'm very sorry, but we're going to need to ask you some questions.
07:17Do you think he was really scared?
07:24You've, um, you've had some contact with social services over the kids, yeah?
07:30My exit, Liam.
07:32Once.
07:34The minute I found out, I packed his bags.
07:39So there wasn't an adult that you could leave him with?
07:42You think I could afford a super nanny?
07:44I work 12 hours a day to keep a roof over our heads.
07:49I can't just give up because it's school holidays.
07:52So Liam looks after Connor while you're at work, yeah?
07:58Liam and the girls.
08:02And that's Paige Ward.
08:04Paige, I know, mate.
08:05I've always come around asking if they could babysit.
08:13Connor loved them.
08:14Because I'll get Buddy back with his toy dog.
08:24You took him everywhere.
08:25Of course, yeah.
08:27We need to keep him just a little bit longer, but we'll let you have him back as soon as we can, I promise.
08:34Julie, have you ever seen this man around the estate?
08:38We think he's a mechanic.
08:40Yeah, he looks like my neighbour's boyfriend.
08:44Rob, is that a minute?
08:46Yeah.
08:47Yeah, uh, no, he works at the garage on Cold Harbour Lane.
08:52That's it.
08:54What?
08:56You think it was him?
09:01Maybe you should call your brief.
09:03I don't need a brief because I don't know nothing about no little boy.
09:07I'm a red-blooded bloke, mate.
09:10Like, look under my mattress if you don't believe me.
09:12Our witness saw you take that boy into those flats.
09:15Only you came out alone, and he ended up dead.
09:18The boy who lived in Flatneck taught your girlfriend.
09:20Or at least he did, until our witness spotted you abduct him.
09:23Well, they need their eyes tested in, don't they?
09:25Because I banked on my missus door for ten minutes, and then I went back to work.
09:30And did anyone see you leave?
09:32Well, I don't know, do I?
09:33No, there was a girl.
09:47Oh, there was a girl.
09:50Like, she must have been about 12-ish.
09:54That's it?
09:55Yeah.
09:58She had, like, um, fair hair, skinny thing.
10:08And, um, Arsenal shirt.
10:12And this was at Lexton House?
10:18Right by the door, like she was waiting for someone to come out.
10:26Here's the problem, Paige.
10:28You say you saw the man at the empty flats, the ones they're pulling down.
10:33He went inside with Connor.
10:35I don't like her playing near them empty flats.
10:37Well, you see, we think you saw the man at Lexton House, where Connor lived.
10:43No.
10:44Are you sure it wasn't Lexton House?
10:46It was Peldon.
10:48I ain't lying, Mum.
10:50Paige don't tell lies.
10:52She's a good girl.
10:53And you've never been to Lexton House at any time?
10:57No.
10:58Are you sure about that?
10:59I said, didn't I?
11:01I told you.
11:02Why is he picking on me?
11:04We just, we just really needed to help us out here.
11:07Yeah, um, would you like a drink?
11:14Do you want a cup of tea, Matty?
11:16Mrs Ward, would you like a cup of tea?
11:18Oh, yeah.
11:19Cheers.
11:19Two sugars.
11:20Okay.
11:20I used to chew my nails when I was a kid.
11:31Especially if I was nervous.
11:33We had this teacher at school.
11:35He used to bang his hand down on the table every time he saw me do it.
11:38Of course, it only made me do it even more.
11:43You chew your nails because you're nervous, don't you?
11:44The thing is, Paige, we've spoken to the man that you saw with Connor,
11:55and he says that you saw him at Lexton House, where Connor lived.
12:01He was by a pelden.
12:02And you're absolutely certain?
12:05Cross my heart.
12:07Because I won't be angry.
12:08You know, if you've made a mistake, we all make mistakes.
12:11If you don't believe her, you can ask her mate.
12:14Joined at the hip, them two.
12:17Someone else saw what happened.
12:20Rose.
12:21She was with me the whole time.
12:23Police, open up, please.
12:32I've got a warrant.
12:36Is your mum there, Rose?
12:39She's busy.
12:40We just need you to open the door.
12:50I'm only supposed to open the door if she screams.
13:23I don't do threesomes, so you might have to wait in the yard.
13:31Actually, we would like to talk to Rose about the boy who died in the empty flats.
13:40Rose don't know nothing about it.
13:43Well, we think she could be a witness.
13:45So, we'd like you both to come down to the station for a video ID.
13:51Both girls picked out Denton from the video ID.
13:58We've got enough to charge him.
14:00I think Denton identified Paige outside the dead boy's flat.
14:03Or maybe he saw her at the murder scene.
14:06But Denton hasn't got any previous involving kids.
14:09You know, the cause of death's been confirmed.
14:11It wasn't the bump on the head.
14:12It was by manual strangulation.
14:15No signs of sexual assault.
14:16Oh, so he's been flying under the radar.
14:19Those girls know what they saw.
14:20I still think Paige is lying.
14:22Because she chews her nose.
14:24It's just a feeling, Mum.
14:26Well, we can talk to her again.
14:27That's no problem.
14:28If the girls saw Denton take the kid, then someone else must have done it.
14:33Someone did.
14:37There's something you need to see.
14:40This is Denton outside his girlfriend's flat.
14:46At 9.30, he only heads towards the car park.
14:56Then...
14:57At 9.35.
15:11And another camera picks him up, heading towards Paldon House.
15:17Please God, tell me this isn't what I think it is.
15:27Look at her face of an angel.
15:37Paige seems to trust you.
15:40You take Rose, but I want a member of CPS watching those interviews,
15:44and I want both girls arrested and cautioned before they speak a single word.
15:48You understand that you can have a solicitor here if you want one?
15:55Oh, we don't need one.
15:56She ain't done nothing wrong, have you, babe?
15:58No.
15:59I want to talk about what happened to little Connor.
16:07Um, you went out to play with your friend Paige, is that right?
16:15Yeah.
16:16We played football.
16:18Okay.
16:20Rose, do you know Connor...
16:21You know she does.
16:22He lives in our block.
16:23Miss Shaw, I need Rose to answer the questions.
16:25Come on, please.
16:26Please.
16:29Rose, did you go to Connor's flat the morning that he died?
16:33Yeah.
16:33Liam left him alone.
16:36So you and Paige took him out to play, yeah?
16:39Ain't nice being left on your own.
16:41Is this going to take much longer?
16:42Is this somewhere you need to be?
16:44I mean, I can always get a social worker to come and sit in if you can't wait.
16:48You don't know me.
16:51Just get on with it, yeah?
16:59So where did you take Connor to play, Rose?
17:03By Peldon House.
17:05But then this man come and took Connor inside.
17:09And you know that's where we found Connor, don't you?
17:12Peldon House.
17:16Did you just lay down and die?
17:24Well, you know what?
17:25I think you know how he died, Rose.
17:28I don't think there was any man there at all.
17:31Yes, there was a man.
17:33Look, the man took him.
17:35Asked him what happened to Connor, not me.
17:37I don't think you're telling me the truth.
17:39Yes, I am!
17:40I've changed my mind.
17:42You can call that social worker.
17:44No, Mum, you can't leave me.
17:45No, just listen to what he says, right?
17:47Only words you say, no comment.
17:49No, Mum.
17:50No, I want to go home with my mum.
17:52Stay there, obviously.
17:53Look, Kelly.
17:54I used to sit in these rooms just as twitchy as you.
17:57Mum!
17:57I'm down.
17:59Kelly, listen to me.
18:02Mum!
18:02I wasn't worrying about what my next question was.
18:05I was worrying about when I was going to get my next dream.
18:07Mum, shut up!
18:09Kelly, today could be the first date you don't use.
18:13and you do have a choice, your habit or your daughter.
18:20Mum!
18:22Mum!
18:22Mum!
18:23Mum, please!
18:24Mum!
18:24Mum!
18:25Mum!
18:25Mum!
18:26Mum!
18:26Mum!
18:27Mum!
18:27Mum!
18:28Mum!
18:28Mum!
18:29Mum!
18:29Mum!
18:30Mum!
18:30Mum!
18:31Mum!
18:31Mum!
18:32Mum!
18:32Mum!
18:33Mum!
18:33Mum!
18:34Mum!
18:34Mum!
18:35Mum!
18:35Mum!
18:36Mum!
18:36So you like Arsenal, yeah?
18:38They're the best.
18:39And it's alright to support them if you're from South London.
18:42Cos really, they're from Willage Arsenal.
18:44They just moved north in the olden days.
18:46Yeah, that's right.
18:47And you've got number 11 on your shirt.
18:51It's Van Percy, isn't it?
18:52Rachel Yankee.
18:53She's done this talk at our school.
18:56Arsenal lady, so she goes on about.
18:58Well, maybe one day you'll be the next Rachel Yankee, eh?
19:02No, I'll never be as good as her.
19:04I used to play a bit when I was a kid.
19:07Yeah, we had a scout from the Arsenal come round our school once.
19:11Only I was so nervous about not being picked, I pulled a sickie.
19:16You didn't even try?
19:17Well, I wanted to.
19:19The truth is, I was too scared of messing up.
19:24I've never told anyone that before.
19:28I feel better now that I've told you.
19:30You know when you try and keep a secret and you want to tell?
19:37It sort of hurts to keep it inside.
19:43Well, if you share it with a friend, it feels better.
19:46You see, Paige, I think you've got a secret about what happened to little Connor.
19:54And we're friends, aren't we?
19:59Let me share your secret.
20:01Make it stop hurting.
20:08Mum.
20:19She's so close, I can smell it.
20:21When my girls were little, I took them to the fair one, Sandy.
20:33And we were queuing up and I was paying for the girls to get on this ride.
20:37Typical Sunday Dad overcompensating.
20:43I've got toys and prizes I'd won.
20:48Popcorn, candy floss, all that stuff.
20:52I turned round Little and I'd gone.
21:00Just disappeared and the place was mobbed.
21:04That is really, truly frightening, mate.
21:12Do you know where she was?
21:15And me, a copper and all.
21:18She'd sneaked into the stall next door and was trying to nick a goldfish.
21:25I tell you, kids, mate.
21:27I wish to get back in there.
21:29Yeah.
21:31Just give us a minute, eh?
21:33Tell me, ain't true you got them girls in there?
21:36They wouldn't hurt muck on her.
21:37No, they wouldn't.
21:38We're just talking to them at the moment, Julie.
21:39Just give us a minute, eh?
21:49Tell me, ain't true you got them girls in there?
21:54They wouldn't hurt my Connor. No, they wouldn't.
21:58We're just talking to them at the moment, Julie.
22:00Yeah, but they're just kids. I mean, please, just tell me they didn't do it, yeah?
22:06Please! Please, Annie! Please!
22:28That's you, isn't it, Paige?
22:31Number 11, like Rachel Yankee.
22:35And that's Rose, isn't it?
22:40And that's Connor.
22:45You see, there's cameras all over the estate.
22:49They take pictures of people walking about, going in and out of the blocks.
22:53This picture was taken about 20 minutes before Connor died.
23:02There's other pictures that show the man that you picked out leaving the estate before Connor died.
23:09Do you think Mum realises just how serious this is?
23:24Who wants to believe there are kids involved with something like this?
23:28Poor woman's in shock.
23:33I know I would be if that was one of my girls sat there.
23:39Maybe we should get Matt to ask again if they want a brief.
23:44She's gonna spill any second.
23:45You know I love you, babe.
23:49No matter what you've done, you've got to tell the policeman the truth.
23:55Who went into building house with Connor?
24:00Just me and Rose.
24:04Little Connor.
24:07We took him.
24:09And did someone hurt Connor?
24:14He was crying.
24:17He monitored his mum.
24:20And Rose put her hands around his neck.
24:27He tried to get her off.
24:30But he fell back and banged his head against the wall.
24:33It's okay, baby.
24:36It's okay.
24:39And what happened next, Paige?
24:42She got on top of him.
24:44And squeezed his neck again.
24:49And she got off.
24:50He'd just lay there.
24:54And then she got out this compass.
24:58Like we're using maths.
25:00And told me to scratch my name when he's Tommy.
25:08And you did it.
25:10I only did the pee.
25:15I couldn't do the rest.
25:19Then she took it off me.
25:21And did another line.
25:23To make it to another rose.
25:31Can we go home now?
25:47Police have arrested two girls aged 10 and 13
25:51on suspicion of the murder of five year old Connor Reed.
25:54Connor was found dead here at the Calvdon estate last week.
25:59It's believed the girls were moved to a secret location last night
26:04after the police station where they were being held
26:07came under siege from angry protesters.
26:10This is getting out of hand and we haven't even charged them yet.
26:14Little girl killers.
26:16The public can't stomach it.
26:19That's understandable.
26:27Kids killing kids.
26:31This is as bad as it gets.
26:36So what are the girls saying?
26:38They're blaming each other.
26:40What about the forensics?
26:42Well the girls were tested too late for any surviving contact trace evidence
26:45and we're still waiting on the analysis of their clothing.
26:48So until we get it, there's no way of knowing which one of them is telling the truth.
26:52The police believe Paige is telling the truth.
26:56That Rose is the killer.
26:58Paige has cooperated Philly and she's prepared to give evidence against Rose in court.
27:03What does her brief want in return?
27:06A section 73 agreement.
27:09Paige has given a statement detailing exactly how Rose Shaw killed Connor Reid.
27:17She's a witness. Nothing more.
27:21Your client carved her initial into the dead boy's skin.
27:25She colluded with her friend to concoct her story blaming an innocent man.
27:29Under duress from Rose Shaw.
27:30Oh, come on Luke.
27:33Rose is three years younger than your client.
27:35And bright as a button according to her teachers.
27:38Paige, on the other hand, has learning difficulties.
27:42The police believe Rose Shaw acted alone.
27:47A jury will too.
27:53Paige pleads guilty to assisting in a pharma.
27:55She's practically handing you Rose Shaw with bells on.
28:00The least you can do is drop the charges.
28:03That's the deal.
28:05Take it or leave it.
28:07We signed that agreement.
28:09There's no going back.
28:11Paige Ward gets immunity on everything except assisting an offender, right?
28:14Okay, get the papers signed.
28:17But we charge Rose with murder.
28:21Who's her brief?
28:23You so don't want to know.
28:26They don't want to know.
28:29Come on, how bad can it be?
28:33There he is.
28:35Balls of steel.
28:37Him.
28:39You don't call, you don't write.
28:41You didn't seriously expect any deals on the table.
28:44You did get my email.
28:46Oh, don't tell me it's still floating around in cyberspace.
28:52I told our new clerk when we need to disclose something to the Crown, now means now.
28:58What are you disclosing?
29:01I bought you a spare copy.
29:05Just in case.
29:10Deep breaths.
29:28Rose Shaw is ten years old.
29:31She played no part in this horrific crime
29:35and is devastated to learn that her best friend says otherwise.
29:38I'm asking you to release this poor child into her mother's care.
29:44Miss Sharkey, as much as it irks me to have to consider locking up a ten-year-old,
29:50Paige Ward is your client choking a boy to death with her bare hands.
29:56I simply cannot ignore such a statement.
29:59Indeed you cannot, my lord, were said statement taken legally.
30:04However, I suggest that is not the case.
30:09And hereby apply to have Paige Ward's interview excluded.
30:13Uh, my lord, I request an immediate adjournment.
30:16The Crown have not been informed of any such application.
30:18And yet Miss Phillips appears to have a copy of the application and all supporting evidence right there in front of her.
30:26Because you handed it over five minutes ago.
30:29Either it was disclosed or it was not, Mr. Steele.
30:33Continue, Miss Sharkey.
30:35At the time of her interview, Paige Ward was not accompanied by a solicitor or appropriate adult.
30:45She was accompanied by her 28-year-old mother who refused legal representation.
30:50A woman with an IQ below that of an average 12-year-old.
30:54Unlike the morals of the average 12-year-old, which my learned colleague shares.
30:58Miss Sharkey, Mr. Steele, my chambers now, please.
31:05After meeting Paige Ward's mother, I took it upon myself to have her IQ tested.
31:10It also came to light that she has learning difficulties and mild autism.
31:15There wasn't time to second-guess the IQ of appropriate adults.
31:19The police had to act quickly in the best interest of gathering evidence.
31:22The evidence they gathered by coercing a 13-year-old girl into saying what they wanted to hear.
31:28They bribed her with a happy meal and chatted about her hobbies, for God's sake.
31:33The officer was creating a bond of trust with the suspect.
31:36They naturally assumed the mother would intervene if she was unhappy with the line of question.
31:40Her mother wouldn't have intervened if DS Devlin had danced a fandango with her.
31:45The only one making a song and a dance about this is you.
31:47What have you got planned for your finale, Kim? IQ test, Paige Ward cancel.
31:50Enough! Enough!
31:51The whole point of an appropriate adult is to safeguard the rights and welfare of young people in custody.
32:01I intend to play this one with a straight bat.
32:05I'm granting Miss Sharkey's application to exclude the statement.
32:18That statement put Roshaw's hands round Connor Reed's neck.
32:22We're saying does Section 73 based on it know we can't even use it?
32:29You must have realised Tina Ward wasn't a suitable, appropriate adult.
32:33Do I look like Darren Brown?
32:35She came across like half the adults we meet.
32:39We don't exactly deal with Mensa candidates.
32:41Any other judge would have thrown Sharkey out of court pulling a stunt like that.
32:46Blame Justice Podotti.
32:47Do we have a case without that statement?
32:53Please tell me forensics are going to confirm Roshaw's guilt.
32:58Without a doubt.
33:00Connor's DNA is going to be all over Roshaw's clothing.
33:08Well, let's get this over with then.
33:10We represent Connor, which means we represent you.
33:20We're certain the forensic analysis of the girl's clothing will give us the evidence.
33:25We need to put Roshaw behind bars for a very long time.
33:29She'll go to prison.
33:30Well, initially she'll remain in secure local authority care.
33:36Then when she's old enough she'll be transferred to a young offenders institution.
33:41Then an adult prison.
33:43Her whole childhood.
33:45You won't have to worry about her being released until her early twenties.
33:48I saw this woman on the, er, the news last night.
33:55She said, er, Roshaw's Satan reborn.
33:59They should bring back hanging just for, er,
34:03I've never heard so much hate in someone's voice.
34:06Well, the public feeling is very strong.
34:12All these flowers on the estate.
34:15Sacked loads of cards every day like they all knew him.
34:19All of them out there feeding off my boy's death.
34:25Let it take over their lives.
34:28It's like they need it.
34:30Funny thing is, all I want, yeah, all I need is to let it go.
34:41The trial can help you do that.
34:45Sending her to prison won't help me.
34:50It won't bring my boy back.
34:52Most victims' families find it gives them a sense of closure.
35:02Closure?
35:04This ain't closure.
35:07This is revenge.
35:11No, that little girl don't deserve it.
35:15She's been through enough.
35:17We live on the same estate.
35:19I know what goes on in there.
35:23She broke the law in the most terrible way.
35:27She's a child.
35:29What?
35:31You want to hide her behind a ten-foot wall so that no-one has to look at her?
35:36No-one has to ask her who's really responsible for Connor's death?
35:42No.
35:44No, no.
35:46It's too easy.
35:47Prosecuting kids is never easy.
35:52Mark Connor, he used to, he liked to draw them pictures, you know, the ones where you put the paint through the straws.
36:02He loved dogs.
36:06He loved dogs.
36:08And that's how I want to remember him.
36:15What a happy little boy.
36:18I don't want my memories clouded by hate.
36:24I mean, would you want your son brought up in a world with no hope?
36:31You can't, you can't save Connor.
36:41You can save her.
36:44Yeah, you can, you can give Rosie Shaw life.
36:49You can forgive her?
36:52I hate what she did with every, every bone in my body.
37:02But, but, I'm a mum.
37:07I'm a mum.
37:09No.
37:11I, I can't hate a child.
37:17He, you say you represent me.
37:21Then this is what you do.
37:23You, you make Connor's life mean something.
37:29Yeah, you find out why she did it.
37:32And you get that little girl out.
37:37We have to help.
37:44We can't just drop a murder charge.
37:49The DPP will have your balls on mine too, George.
37:52Not just the DPP.
37:54The Attorney General went through a show of convicted of murder.
37:58So that's it?
38:00Our hands are tied.
38:02Not on my watch.
38:04You heard what Mrs. Reed wants.
38:10What do we do?
38:13My granddaughter is the same age.
38:16She spends her time riding ponies and making daisy chains.
38:20I want to know what makes a girl of ten put her hands round a child's neck and squeeze a life out of them.
38:31Rose, did you worry what your mum was doing with these men?
38:41My mum says that psychiatrists, they mess up your brainwaves.
38:47Is that what you're going to do to me?
38:51Dr. Marsh believes that the abuse changed the physiology of Rose's nervous system, which means her responsibility was diminished at the time of the killing.
39:01Well, we offer a shark here, dearly.
39:06Get Rose the help that she needs.
39:09At least just called. Forensics are in.
39:14Are you sure about this?
39:16Forensics don't lie. Kids do.
39:18But everyone was so certain.
39:21They checked both the girls' clothing. There are 148 microscopic spots of blood on the front of her shirt.
39:27Which means that when the boy died, the one with her hands around his throat was Paige Ward.
39:32We have a Section 73 signed and sealed. You can't charge Paige with anything further in relation to this case.
39:52Your client had Connor Reed's blood all over her shirt.
39:55Oh, which means that when Connor Reed died, the person in contact with him was indeed Paige, and not Rose Shaw.
40:08It isn't true. It was Rose.
40:11Must I remind you again, gentlemen, my client isn't here to be interrogated.
40:18Paige, you trust me, don't you?
40:25I need you to tell me the truth.
40:28We can walk out of here right now.
40:31It's not what you think.
40:33Paige, you don't have to say another word.
40:36I want to explain.
40:38After she done it, Rose just left.
40:43I picked Connor up, but he made this noise, like a cough sort of.
40:49Why did you move him, Paige?
40:50I wanted to take him home to his mum, but then Rose come back with a compass.
40:56I swear I didn't hurt Connor.
40:59It was me who put the toys there in case he got lonely.
41:03The pathologist has re-examined Connor's body. He found pulmonary interstitial emphysema, a buildup of pressure in Connor's lungs caused by blood blocking the airways.
41:17Now, it could have been released when Paige lifted him up, causing expiration spatter, or it could have been released as she was choking him.
41:26So much for forensics proving which one of them did it.
41:30Sharky's gonna have a field day with this.
41:33Maybe not.
41:36According to the forensic report, there were seven curvilinear abrasions on Connor's neck.
41:43Three were at the front made by Connor trying to prise his attacker's hands off, and four at the back made by his attacker choking him.
41:51Yeah, but the report said, without finding Connor's skin in the fingernail scrapings, there was no way to ascertain which girl made them.
42:01Only Paige Ward's fingernails are bitten to the quick.
42:06The nail marks on the back of Connor's neck.
42:10Rose sure has a defect on the nail of her left forefinger.
42:15The same defect can be seen in those marks.
42:17148 spots of blood on a shirt spell murder to a jury.
42:23Four nail marks spell a bit of rough play.
42:28You should give juries more credit, Kim.
42:31Lucky for you, we don't intend to put this to a jury.
42:34You're offering a deal.
42:36I'll accept a plea to manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility.
42:40Rose gets a hospital order with a section 41 restriction.
42:44You want to put her in hospital?
42:45Don't you?
42:49Rose needs treatment.
42:52Thanks, but no thanks.
42:55Well, I'm giving your client a way out of a murder charge.
42:59Surely it's in Rose's best interest to have someone try and fix her.
43:04The child's a monster. I doubt anyone could fix her.
43:08You're only offering a deal because you're worried I'm going to win.
43:11You couldn't care less what's best for Rose.
43:14You just don't want to give up your 15 minutes.
43:17Cases like this come along once in a lifetime, James.
43:21They're career makers.
43:23This isn't a shortcut to silk, Kim.
43:26It's a child's life.
43:27Do calm down, James, or you'll be comparing answers with George.
43:33The jury are going to see a very pretty little girl.
43:38And hear how the Crown made a deal with a teenager who had the victim's blood all over her shirt.
43:45I know who I believe.
43:49She's a killer.
43:54And when the jury see photographs of a strangled five-year-old, the only place they'll want her is a prison cell.
44:01You know the prison system doesn't have the provision for the sort of treatment that this girl needs.
44:07What is this preoccupation about treatment?
44:10The public don't care about treating killers.
44:13What they ought to, it's a matter of public safety.
44:16If we send her to hospital, she will be released only if and when she's no longer a danger.
44:21Justice Spadotti will make sure she gets a minimum tariff of 12 years.
44:28There's no votes in being soft on children who commit crimes.
44:32I don't make decisions based on what gets the Home Secretary most votes.
44:36You lock that little girl away and you might as well kill her too.
44:40I'm not asking, George.
44:42As Director of Public Prosecutions, I'm telling.
44:45You try that girl for murder and you make sure she's convicted.
44:51God, I swear that woman was put on this earth just to irritate my duty.
45:04Whatever it takes, you guarantee that that duty find on manslaughter, diminished responsibility and not murder.
45:13I want that girl in a hospital, not a prison.
45:16What about the DPP?
45:17Oh, screw the DPP. I answered a corner's mother on this one.
45:23Dr. Haim Ginok talks about kids being like wet cement.
45:28Whatever falls on them makes an impression.
45:31In Rose's case, her abusive upbringing means she's ended up with a callous lack of concern for others.
45:38So she lashes out.
45:41Is she in control of her actions?
45:45I don't believe at the time of the killing she intended to kill or understood the permanency of death.
45:51Can Rose's condition be treated?
45:54It must be treated.
45:56Rose needs intensive psychotherapy and pharmaceutical treatment.
46:01No further questions.
46:02Did you examine Paige Ward?
46:12No.
46:14Because the Crown didn't ask you to?
46:17That's right.
46:18And yet Rose told you repeatedly that it was Paige Ward who killed Connor, did she not?
46:25Well, yes, but denial is often...
46:27So how are we to know what Paige Ward's mental state was when Connor Reed's blood splashed all over the front of her shirt?
46:37Or when she carved her initial into his stomach?
46:39Uh, my lord, does my learned friend assume the witness has psychic powers?
46:44How else could he possibly answer such questions?
46:47Miss Sharkey, please reserve questions regarding blood evidence for the appropriate expert witness.
46:54Apologies, my lord. No further questions.
46:59Evil from the day she was born. How can any mother say that about our own child?
47:04Trial by tabloid. Just what we needed.
47:06The woman is poisoned. Trial's not even over.
47:10And she's got the public baying for her daughter's blood.
47:13Wrong with the jury.
47:14If there was any chance of making them believe her responsibility was diminished,
47:18her mum and the bloody red tops just blew it.
47:21You have to find a way to make that jury see what we see.
47:24I'm sorry, George. I don't know what else we can do.
47:27You have to make them understand that Connor Reed is not the only victim here.
47:31Rose Shaw is an abused child.
47:33She's a victim too.
47:36She's a victim.
47:38There's something nasty in her eyes, isn't there?
47:40She's a victim.
47:42Debbie.
47:44No comment.
47:46The reporting restrictions exist for a reason.
47:49To protect your daughter.
47:50You may never sit about her welfare, do you?
47:52I don't know what you mean.
47:53I hope your 30 pieces of silver were worth it,
47:55because thanks to your sniveling to the tabloids,
47:56the whole country have already made up their minds about her.
48:03You shouldn't be talking to her, James.
48:04Why not? She isn't a witness.
48:06She should be.
48:07If the jury saw her true colours, it's her they'd want to look up, not Rose.
48:15So let's call her.
48:16Can you tell the court how you make your living?
48:29I ain't on trial here.
48:35Can you answer the question, please?
48:39I'm a master.
48:41Oh, you're a prostitute, are you not?
48:44We don't all have those sorts of mummies and daddies to fund us for a university.
48:47Is Rose aware of what you do?
48:52When the police came to talk to Rose,
48:54you were engaged in a sex act with a client while she was in the next room.
48:59Plenty of mums work from home these days.
49:03When Dr Marsh spoke to Rose, she told him that she'd not only seen her mother working,
49:07but that she'd also seen violent, sadistic, pornographic films which you watched with clients.
49:13Turned her into a killer, did they?
49:16Is it right that one of the DVDs recovered from your flat showed a man passing out having been manually asphyxiated during sex,
49:23and that another showed a man taking pleasure in being cut with a razor blade during sexual intercourse?
49:28You can't prove that she saw them.
49:30Can you prove she didn't?
49:32No, I've done my best for her.
49:34So were you doing your best for Rose when you tried to give her away to a complete stranger when she was just six weeks old?
49:39I was 16.
49:41It weren't easy stuck on your own with a kid.
49:42What about the time you sold her cot to fund your crystal meth habit?
49:46I had a problem then. I had money. Rose don't go without now.
49:50Oh, because you work as a prostitute servicing clients from a room right next door to your daughters.
49:55She don't see nothing.
49:56Well, she doesn't hear it.
49:59She doesn't deal with the fallout like the time you were beaten senseless by one of your clients.
50:05That only happened once.
50:07Tell me, how would you have protected Rose if this particular client had decided to turn his attentions to her?
50:13He didn't.
50:14He didn't.
50:16Well, can you be sure of that?
50:18You were unconscious for quite some time. In fact, it wasn't until your next client turned up some six hours later that an ambulance was called.
50:26Rose was all right.
50:28Rose was four years old. She thought you were dead. But you don't really care what happens to her, do you?
50:33That's not true.
50:34You don't care that she's out there choking the life out of a five-year-old boy just so long as it doesn't interfere with your habits.
50:40You're making out I'm a bad mum.
50:42I'm shouting it loud and clear, Miss Shaw. You are a terrible mum. A negligent mum. A mum who hasn't got the first idea how to take care of her own child.
50:51She's the one that killed that kitty, not me.
50:53Well, you might as well have done because you raised the child that killed Connor Reid. You turned her into exactly what she is, did you not?
51:03No further questions, my lord.
51:33On the charge of murder, how do you find?
51:40Guilty.
51:54Rose Shaw.
51:58You have been found guilty of murder.
52:01You alone are responsible for the death of a defenceless five-year-old boy.
52:12What you did to that child is every parent's worst nightmare.
52:16I've heard all I need regarding your state of mind and the circumstances of your background, and see no need to wait for further reports before sentencing.
52:32I hereby sentence you to be detained at her majesty's pleasure, with a minimum term of twelve years.
52:45years.
52:54Mum!
52:55Mum!
52:56Mum, please!
53:04Mum!
53:08Mum!
53:10Mum!
53:12Mum!
53:13Mum!
53:17Mum!
53:20Mum!
53:21Mum!
53:23Mum!
53:25Mum!
53:29She served a whole twelve years?
53:31I don't know. Dr. Marsh has agreed to work with her in the secure unit, and when she's 15, rest assured I will personally appeal against her move to prison.
53:44I used to sleep in my bed. Never could settle him into a cot. But my arms, he'd sleep 10 hours straight. I used to watch him after night, thinking how lucky I was.
54:06I bet no-one ever looked at Rose Shaw without lucky.
54:20Thanks.
