Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,680
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:05,360
the people are represented by two
separate, yet equally important
groups.
3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,440
The police, who investigate crime,
4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,640
and the crown prosecutors,
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,680
These are their stories.
6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,480
Sean! It's your dad!
7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,600
He's 12 years old. He's been missing
nearly 30 hours now.
8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,480
Got a location for his mobile yet?
Sean! Stay where you are!
Don't be scared!
9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,880
OK, guys. I need this whole slipway
ruled out.
10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,880
Sean! It's your dad!
11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,400
Check behind that scaffolding.
Right up to the road.
12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,560
His mobile's still switched off.
13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,560
Well, the trace says he's here
somewhere.
14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,560
Sean!
'Lima Oscar Five. Lima Oscar Five.'
15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,720
'Latest from TIU says
the mobile signal is moving.'
16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,880
'Repeat. The signal is moving.'
17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,920
He's on the move!
Oscar 9-9. Oscar 9-9.
18
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,960
'He's on the move.'
19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,960
There's nothing.
No sign of anything.
20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,360
OK, Ron. We're headed back down
to the river.
21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,680
Sean!We've got your dad here, Sean!
Sean!
22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,200
'Lima Oscar Five. Lima Oscar Five.'
23
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,280
'I've got an update for you.
Mobile signal is heading south.'
24
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,840
'Towards the Thames.'
25
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,760
'That doesn't make any sense.'
26
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,000
He's not even down by the river.
Lads!
27
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,080
Lads, get out of the water.
Come on. He's not there. Up here!
28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,680
Matt, he's gotta be heading
your way.Yeah, yeah. I got it.
29
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,520
He must be right on top of you,
mate.
30
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,400
Ronnie, there's nothing here.
We've checked it twice now.
31
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,760
'Nothing by the river bank.
No sign at all.'
32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,160
Oh, my God! Ronnie!
33
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,720
Ronnie! I've got him!
34
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,440
Get down here now!
35
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:47,200
Ronnie, I've got him!
36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,160
Oh, no.
37
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,360
A single blow to the head
from a heavy, blunt object.
38
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,960
Probably cause of death,
but we won't know for certain
until the post mortem's done.
39
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,520
So he was killed and then dumped
into the drainage system.
40
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,800
Yeah.
Pete. Can I have a word?
41
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:35,080
How am I gonna tell his mum?
42
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:40,120
I don't know. I really don't.
43
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,680
Ronnie.
44
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,840
Found that on him.
45
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,800
I didn't think
I'd ever see that again.
46
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,360
It's a nightmare.
14-year-old, black,
47
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,400
same note in his pocket.
48
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,960
Deja vu, James.
Sounds like Andrew Dillon's back.
49
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,640
The racist killer.One clean blow
fractured that boy's skull.
50
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,000
Two of Dillon's victims
had the same MO.
51
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Sean Monroe had a gold crucifix,
according to his dad.
52
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,680
It wasn't found on his body.
And we know that Dillon liked
to take souvenirs.
53
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,040
The original murders
were over six years ago.
54
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,920
Why would anyone do this now?
Dillon was just attacked in jail.
55
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,960
Someone may have found out,
taken revenge.
56
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,040
Did anyone in particular support
Dillon during the trial?
57
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,320
No. His family...
58
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,360
stopped coming to court.
59
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,000
Although, he did have a few die-hard
supporters in the National Front.
60
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,040
They set up that online fan site.
61
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,880
They called Dillon
a white power hero.
62
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,320
We got shut down a few months back
for inciting racial hatred.
63
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,880
What happened to freedom of speech?
64
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,200
Where were you yesterday, Kyle,
between 3:30 and 11:00?
65
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,520
I was chairing a meeting.
White power?
66
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,080
It was a discussion
about immigration, to be exact.
67
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,440
And how long did this meeting last?
68
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,720
4:00 till 7:30.
Then we went for a curry.
69
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,880
How many attended?
There was 10 of us.
70
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,360
I'll do you a list.
Give us a pen, John.
71
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,600
Did you see this boy
when you came out of the pub?
72
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,920
Saw plenty of 'em.
73
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:04,880
This boy's name is Sean.
74
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,840
He was killed in this area yesterday,
his body dumped in a storm drain.
Try again!
75
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:12,160
He's a copper's kid, Kyle.
76
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,000
That copper happens to be a friend.
That's why you care.
77
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,400
So what was the nature
of the meeting?
78
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,720
Stirring up the mob to follow
79
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,440
in Dillon's footsteps
and lynch a 14-year-old boy?
80
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,480
What does that say?
'Actions, not words'?
81
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,360
We didn't attack any boy.
82
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,480
But we support what Dillon did.
83
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,000
Well, that's more than he did.
84
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,160
I mean, Dillon denied the murders,
didn't he?
85
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,120
Let's go, Matt.
Andrew Dillon didn't start it!
86
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,960
He got mugged by two of 'em
and he made a stand.
87
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,280
We're overrun round here.
And that man's got balls.
88
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:52,320
Oh, I doubt that very much now.
89
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,360
They were probably ripped off after
he got beat up last week.
90
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,080
How did that happen?
They're supposed to keep him away
from the foreigners.
91
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,120
But not from the dads.
92
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,240
Post mortem's done. FME puts the
time of death between 5:00 and 7:00.
93
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,640
Well, that rules out Hitler Youth.
Anything else?
94
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,680
Sean ate not long before he died.
95
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,000
Partially digested doughnuts,
sweets, crisps.
96
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,920
So where's his local tuck shop?
97
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,760
He'd come from his
street dance group.
98
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,920
He wanted to show me
his latest moves.
99
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,960
He cracked me up.
100
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,960
That's street dance, is it?
101
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,480
Brucie here is more familiar
with ballroom
102
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,760
He was gonna go on
Britain's Got Talent.
103
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,360
Did he talk to anyone else in the
shop, Carla, after he walked away?
104
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,720
I seem to remember him talking to
the security guard.
105
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,760
Just by the door there.
106
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,240
And is the security guard
on duty today?
107
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,280
The company rotates me.
108
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:54,760
I work a few local shopping centres.
And yesterday?
109
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,320
I did see this boy.
I asked him to leave the newsagents.
110
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,760
He was looking at pornography.
111
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,720
Old dears come in searching for
The People's Friend
112
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,560
don't want to see that smut.
Wouldn't want them choking
on their Werther's
113
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,600
So I sent him on his way.
114
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,640
I walked him out the shopping centre.
115
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,440
I wasn't to know
he'd come to any harm.
116
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,840
You don't happen to know
which way he went, do you?
117
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,880
Yeah, he went right,
towards Beckton.
118
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,600
Oi, Marcus!
Excuse me.
119
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,640
OK. Thank you.
120
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,800
So what do you reckon?
He just seems a normal lad.
121
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,840
Ate sweets, thought about girls.
122
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,320
Who knew you best at that age?
Your dad or your mates? Come on.
123
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,720
We was a dance duo called N-synch.
124
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,400
Sean thought of the name cos...
we did everything together.
125
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,280
Olly, have you any idea why Sean
would head off from Canning Town
to Beckton?
126
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,880
No. None of our friends live there.
127
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,880
Unless he went to see Darren.
Darren? Boy from school?
128
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,240
That's Darren. He lives in Beckton.
129
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,560
He runs a talent agency.
130
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,360
He was trying to get Sean
to sign up with him.
131
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,200
Sean was better than me, but...
he said no.
132
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,560
He didn't want the act to split up.
133
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,960
Maybe he changed his mind and...
134
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,000
didn't wanna hurt my feelings.
135
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,440
Sean was soft like that.
136
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,480
Yeah, Sean came to see me.
137
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,520
I was interested in signing him.
138
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,600
He wanted to talk about it
in private.
139
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,120
What time was this?
Er, about half five?
140
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,800
Did he stay long?
No. I was off out for a meal.
141
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,640
So he walked with me to the DLR,
then...
142
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,680
said he was off home.
143
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:47,960
Darren Powell used to have
a really good job
144
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,960
as a dance teacher at the East London
School of Performing Arts.
145
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,720
Now he runs a talent agency that
nobody's heard of from
his own front room.
146
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,040
So why did he leave the school?
Head teacher wouldn't say.
And he left without a reference.
147
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,880
Apparently, the guy goes around
playgrounds targeting
disadvantaged kids.
148
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,080
You sure Monroe
wasn't sexually abused?
149
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,160
Not the day he was killed.
Excuse me, ma'am.
150
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,160
Powell's Oystercard was used
in Beckton Park Station at 7:20.
151
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,160
Darren told us he jumped on a train,
left Sean at the station
at quarter to six.
152
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,960
You were the last person
to see Sean alive.
153
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,920
Darren. There's 95 minutes
of your time that's unaccounted for.
154
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,280
Around the time Sean was killed.
I didn't kill him!
155
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,800
Well, his body was dumped in a tunnel
156
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,320
20 minutes from Beckton Park Station.
157
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:39,400
I wanted to shake Sean off,
so I said I was going out.
158
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,560
He offered to walk with me
to the station.
159
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:45,520
I went into the station,
waited for him to leave,
160
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,280
and then I had a pint.
161
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,440
Why were you trying to shake him off?
I thought you wanted to sign him.
162
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,040
Why did you leave your teaching job
at the ELPA?
163
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,760
Without a reference.
164
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,360
We'll get the story soon enough.
165
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,400
And you're holding out on us.
166
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,600
So I'll ask you again.
Why did you leave your teaching job?
167
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,840
Because I got too involved.
168
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,840
With a pupil.
169
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,600
Oh. Was it...a young boy?
170
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,160
He was being abused by his stepdad.
171
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,200
I just gave him a place to stay.
172
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,120
His stepdad said I'd lured him there.
173
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,000
What did the boy say?He was
too scared to say any different!
174
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,280
Were you involved with Sean?
Were you worried he'd tell someone?
No! The boy was lying!
175
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,960
The school didn't think so.
That's why I couldn't invite Sean
into my house! I didn't dare.
176
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:44,480
I'd already had the school board
practically call me a paedophile.
And here you are doing the same.
177
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,920
It's because of people like you
that I sent Sean away.
178
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,240
To his death.
179
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,320
Ronnie.
180
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,760
They found him here.
181
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,280
He's not long dead.
Scuff marks indicate a struggle.
182
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,840
How old?
13, according to his ID card.
183
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,640
Those marks around his neck...
Strangled. The marks suggest
the killer used the boy's school tie.
184
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,680
It was loose round his neck.
185
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:23,720
We also found this in his pocket.
186
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,960
Inspector Chandler?
Dev Desai was found
187
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,640
strangled on waste ground
near Mudchute Park in Millwall
188
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,480
between 5:00 and 6:00
yesterday afternoon.
189
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,000
He was wearing a St Anthony's School
uniform and we're appealing
190
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,680
to any member of the public who may
have seen anything to please
come forward.
191
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:54,600
Now, I can take a few questions.
192
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,720
Gentleman at the back.
Is it true that identical notes
were found
193
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,960
in both the murder victims' pockets?
194
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:02,840
Well, as both investigations are
currently ongoing,
195
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,160
there are certain details
about the crime scenes
196
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,240
which we're not at liberty
to disclose.
197
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,600
But we may be looking at
a serial killer.Not necessarily.
198
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,840
In which case, are the murders
related to those of Andrew Dillon?
199
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,120
It's far too early to tell.
200
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,320
Are you refusing to tell,
or don't you know?
201
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,320
Do you believe these murders
to be racially motivated?
202
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,440
Well, as I said, we're not ruling
out anything at this stage
of the investigation.
203
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,120
But Dillon's killings were racially
motivated, and he killed three boys.
204
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,640
But we don't know if there is
any link with Dillon.
205
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,680
Have you asked
what the police are doing?
206
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:37,760
Or are you relying on the British
public to protect our children?
207
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,080
Oh, I can assure you we are carrying
out the most thorough forensic
investigations.
208
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,720
And all my officers out there on
the ground are doing their very best
to find out who did this.
209
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,640
Look. We didn't see Dev. All right?
210
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,360
Besides, he goes to a posh school
for little pussies now,
cos we're a bad influence.
211
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,560
Dev's mum told us
that he missed you both.
212
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:57,880
Said that you were his best mates.
213
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,360
And we know that Dev
skived off his school yesterday.
214
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,360
And that you two guys,
you skived off your school, as well.
215
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,240
What? Don't tell my dad!
216
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,280
Well, we don't care about that,
Dean.
217
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,960
But we do care that your friend
was strangled to death.
218
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,400
If you care so much,
why aren't you solving it?
219
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,800
That's what we're doing.
By talking to you lads.
220
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,920
Now, do you want help us, or not?
Look, I told you. We didn't see Dev!
221
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,240
Then we'll have to look on CCTV
cameras for him, won't we?Yeah.
222
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,760
We've got 'em everywhere now, lads.
You know that?
223
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,400
It might take us a little while to
find out who did this to him -Look.
224
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,760
We were on Millwall.
Near Green Lane shops.
225
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,200
What did I tell you?!They don't
care about the school stuff!
226
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,680
What were you doing?
Jacking, picking stuff up.
227
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:40,640
From shops?
No! From the ground
228
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,680
Very funny.
229
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:44,720
What do you reckon?
Shall we nick 'em now?
230
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,000
Was Dev picking up too?
231
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,920
Yeah. Only, he got caught.
232
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,280
And what time was this?
About 5:00.
233
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,560
And what shop?
Look, I don't know! We'd split up.
234
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:56,640
Me and Justin were at the far end.
235
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,680
I'd just come out of
some computer shop.
236
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:02,120
I saw some police manhandling Dev.
Dashed him to the ground, so...
237
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,160
We legged it.
238
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,040
Local plod reckon none of their
officers reported any incidents
in Green Lane.
239
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,200
So who grabbed Dev Desai
if it wasn't a PCSO?
240
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,400
What about a security guard?
Nah.
241
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,600
These kids are savvy about that.
They'd know the difference, surely.
242
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,880
Not from 100 yards away,
running scared with stolen goods.
243
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,680
Although, Sean Monroe
was moved on by a security guard.
244
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,400
Marcus Wright. The man who rotates
around shopping centres.
245
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,440
I don't know him.
246
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,000
Well, Marcus, we have...
247
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,680
a coincidence
that's been bothering us.
248
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,920
Two days ago, you had a run-in
with Sean Monroe.
249
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,000
And he ended up dead.
250
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,320
This boy had a run-in
with a security guard.
251
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,280
And also ended up dead.
Well, that is a coincidence.
252
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,760
There's a lot of security guards
out there.
253
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,120
With good reason.
254
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,480
But only one of them
was with Sean Monroe. You.
255
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,760
Very busy area, Marcus.
Plenty of witnesses
256
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,080
to see a young thief
wrestled to the ground.
257
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,720
Him. I forgot.
258
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,960
Yes. He was stealing.
I went after him.
259
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,000
But he got away.
260
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,640
He got away. Your witnesses
will tell you that too.
261
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,680
Well, you see, now we're back with
that coincidence.
262
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,880
You were with both these boys
just hours before they died.
263
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,400
Coincidence is God's way
of remaining anonymous.
264
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,440
Both boys sinned.
265
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,440
I see you read the Bible, Marcus.
You put that back.
266
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,200
That's my mother's.
267
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,200
Marcus.
268
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,160
God killed them, did he?
269
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,600
I don't buy that as an explanation.
270
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,840
A man bludgeoned Sean Monroe.
271
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,040
A man strangled Dev Desai.
272
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,400
'I will reduce the wicked
to heaps of rubble.'
273
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,680
Put that back!'I will destroy them,
so the memory of them will vanish.'
274
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,960
You hear me? Put that back!
275
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,480
Was that Sean Monroe's crucifix?
276
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,920
No, sir.Would you put your hand
on your Bible and tell me that?
277
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,920
We found this crucifix
in your Bible.
278
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,240
We also found this.
279
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,280
A St Anthony medal, which we later
280
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,800
found was missing
from Dev Desai's bag.
281
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,240
Yes, sir.
282
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,520
You do have the right
to a solicitor.
283
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,720
I don't need no legal person
telling me what to say.
284
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,040
I listen to the main man.
285
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,640
Did you kill Sean Monroe?
286
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,280
And Dev Desai?
They were sinners.
287
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,400
And God sought revenge.
Through you?
288
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,600
Plenty of sinners in London.
Why pick on these two?
289
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,640
I didn't pick them.
290
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,080
God did.
291
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,440
This one...
292
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,440
..was looking at pornography.
293
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,280
Well, lots of people do that.
294
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,960
Yeah, but not with
a crucifix around their neck.
295
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:23,400
I let him go.
296
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,440
But later...
297
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,440
..God put him back in my path.
298
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,680
That one...
299
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,120
..ripped off an image
of St Anthony...
300
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:39,160
in prayer...
301
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,280
..while two other sinners looked on.
302
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,200
Is that why you grabbed him?
303
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,000
He went into a shop,
stole some perfume,
304
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,320
he ran out, but I caught him.
305
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,360
But he kicked me and got away.
306
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:55,440
So you followed him.
307
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,360
When St Anthony died...
308
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,360
..children cried in the streets.
309
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,360
That one was laughing.
310
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:10,520
When St Anthony died...
311
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,640
..all the bells of the churches rang
of their own accord.
312
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,360
Angels came down from heaven
and made it happen.
313
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,480
Did God...
314
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,960
come down
and make you kill these boys?
315
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,240
They had to be destroyed.
316
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,200
Did you write those notes?
317
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,920
God did. Through me.
318
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,920
And did you get the idea
from Andrew Dillon?
319
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:44,840
No, sir.
Then why write the notes?
320
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,600
If you were doing God's work...
321
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,080
..why hide behind Dillon?
322
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,160
Dillon didn't kill any of those boys.
323
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,280
I killed them.
324
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,640
All of them!
325
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,440
This is a sick...
326
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,280
attempt to take credit
for another killer's crimes.
327
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,320
I said the same thing.
328
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,360
But...
329
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:17,720
he knows places...
and times of death.
330
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,880
He kept the souvenirs
that were never found.
331
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,800
The football shirt's just been
identified by the parents
of the second victim.
332
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,840
Maybe he knew Dillon,
333
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,880
helped him hide the evidence.
334
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,640
We spent over a year working on this.
We got the right man.
335
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,040
Marcus Wright claims that
there was a fourth boy killed
336
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,080
after Dillon went down.
337
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,760
The boy was white.
338
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,320
Marcus Wright said that he caught
the lad stealing from a church.
339
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,320
Strangled him,
340
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,360
then buried him.
341
00:19:55,360 --> 00:20:00,440
The police have dug up the skeleton
of a Caucasian boy where Marcus
said he would be buried.
342
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,000
They found a note
in the pocket of his anorak.
343
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,000
No, no, no. All the other boys
were dumped in public places.
344
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,760
Why would he suddenly
start burying his victims?
345
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,800
His mum was ill.
346
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,120
She needed him.
He didn't wanna be found.
347
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,520
But then he confessed to her.
348
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,560
And she begged him to stop.
349
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,720
His mum died a few weeks ago.
350
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,520
If Marcus Wright is guilty...
351
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,560
it can't be your fault.
352
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,840
James.
353
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,480
It's him.
We've put away the wrong man.
354
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,040
God, what a mess!
355
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,680
How the hell did it happen?
We didn't act unfairly.
We presented the evidence.
356
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,560
Dillon was a known racist
who terrorised kids
in the same area as the murders.
357
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,680
He sold knock-off trainers
to the first boy.
358
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,120
His handwriting matched notes
found on the bodies.
359
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:02,160
He was seen fighting with
the last victim
360
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,200
and even had his DNA
under his fingernails.
361
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,400
Well, they're expediting his appeal
against wrongful conviction.
362
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,600
Don't ask me to feel sorry for him.
He lived and breathed pure hate.
363
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,880
That may well be the case,
but locking Dillon up
364
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,320
led to three more boys being killed.
365
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,760
'Malfeasance in public office.'
366
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,320
You can't target individuals.
367
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,360
Well, you did.
368
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:34,960
You wilfully abused your powers...
369
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,480
to build your case
against my client.
370
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,960
Andrew Dillon.
371
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,560
We did everything by the book.
372
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,720
The jury found him guilty.
373
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,440
Selective prosecution, Mr Steel.
374
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,360
Mrs Janice Hunter made a statement
to the police six years ago.
375
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:58,680
Saying that she saw the third victim
376
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,200
an hour after he was seen fighting
with my client.
377
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,240
The boy was in Channing Arcade,
378
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,880
arguing with an older man whose
description fits Marcus Wright.
379
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,920
Yeah. He was a black man.
380
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:15,200
The witness has since died.
381
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,240
I've never seen this before.
382
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,440
Oh, come on, Mr Steel.
383
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,280
We both know you buried it.
384
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,000
It's the basis of our claim
against you. We intend to
385
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,800
investigate every last detail
of your case -So do we.
386
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,720
..and sue you...for £300,000.
387
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,760
And that will never be enough.
388
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,600
I spent five years in a cell
about the size of this table.
389
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,280
And every time I stepped out,
I took my life in my hands.
390
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,840
And you sent me there
as a marked man.
391
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,280
The evidence...
all pointed towards you.
392
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,920
Yeah. After you'd tampered with it.
393
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,240
And then there was
your criminal record.
394
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,640
How many boys of ethnic minority
had you beaten up?
395
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,480
Well, that's...hardly relevant here.
396
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,560
We're talking about three...
397
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,520
dead boys. What we need to do -
398
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,360
Look, it's your prejudice. Not mine.
399
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:12,160
You decided the killer
had to be white.
400
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,920
And because of your inverted racism,
I got put inside.
401
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:20,200
And as soon as I was arrested,
I got beaten up.Well, now you know
how those boys felt!
402
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,120
Yeah, now I get panic attacks.
403
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:25,160
And my face is in the paper.
404
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,560
All because you persecuted me!
405
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,960
You owe me.
406
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,520
You stole five years of my life.
407
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,760
No-one gave me a statement saying
Dillon's victim was seen later
with another man.
408
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,080
I'd remember.
It would've jeopardised our case.
409
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,360
They're saying
that was your motivation.
410
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:50,840
If I'd seen it, I'd've handed it
over, however grudgingly.
411
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,520
Well, who worked with you on this?
There were...a whole team of us.
412
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,480
Eight or nine when we were busiest.
Who was your lead assistant?
413
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,080
Claudia Martin. Great prosecutor.
414
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,440
Then, let's talk to her.
415
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,480
See if she remembers anything.
416
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,760
When I heard about Marcus Wright,
I thought James'd get in touch.
417
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,960
He would've come himself, but he's
trying to track down the rest
of the team.
418
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,200
Must be frantic.
419
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,320
How did Dillon's brief
find this statement?
420
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,280
He wouldn't say.
But James has no recollection of it.
421
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,320
Mm. Neither do I.
422
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,520
You'd remember something like that
coming in.
423
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,960
It certainly would've helped
Dillon's defence.
424
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,080
There were a few statements
we fought to keep out of court,
but not that one.
425
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,240
We can't find any record of it.
426
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,840
But then, there are boxes
of case files to go through.
427
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,080
Tell me about it. That's a year
of my life I'll never get back.
428
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,120
And to think this is the outcome.
429
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:52,160
Those poor boys.
430
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,960
How long have you worked with James?
A few years.
431
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,480
Intense, isn't it?
432
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,520
I couldn't keep up the pace,
sold out to private practice.
433
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,840
Which is fine.
Apart from the clients.
434
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,240
Well, if you remember anything...
435
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,120
Did you speak to
the rest of the team?
436
00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:12,160
The ones I could track down.
437
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,880
Three quit the CPS saying they were
overworked and underpaid.Never
438
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,200
And the ones I did speak to all swear
blind they never saw the statement.
439
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,960
Reception receives packages
from the police most days.
440
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,760
All deliveries are signed for
and logged when they come in.
441
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,800
Can you go back
and check all the logbooks?
442
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,960
Course. And the receptionists?
443
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,000
You know, what if it didn't come in?
444
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,440
The police wanted to put Dillon away
as much as we did.
445
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,520
We're tracking down
the receptionists who were
here at the time.
446
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,800
If they remember DS Brooks
bringing it in -
447
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,880
I don't need anyone else's
word for it. I trust Ronnie.
448
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,280
But a missing witness statement
could amount to a criminal offence.
449
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,520
And it's my duty to investigate that.
450
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,840
I've got no choice, George.
Fine. Go ahead.
451
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,720
But I know and trust my people too,
and we have got nothing to hide.
452
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,640
That statement was the last thing
we needed.I know.
453
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,200
Remember what you did with it?
I'd've put it on a disk,
454
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,360
made a hard copy and brought it to
you with any other evidence we had.
455
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:10,320
When?I don't know. It would've been
addressed to you, though.
456
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,080
Remember who you gave it to?
A receptionist, I guess.
457
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,080
Which one?Oh, I don't know.
Young, female, wearing a suit.
458
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,080
Could be any of them.Well, it was
six years ago. Sorry, mate.
459
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,080
I need you to check to see what date
you entered the statement.
460
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,520
I will. But have you checked your
office log to see who signed for it?
461
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,440
Alesha's on it. But I'm up against
it. By the time she finds it,
462
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,520
I could be disbarred.
I'm sorry!
463
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,640
What, you think it's our fault?
No. That's not what I'm saying.
464
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,640
What's going on?
Well, the CPS have lost some
evidence and they're blaming us.
465
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,840
No, I am not blaming anyone.
466
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,120
I need to...find out what happened.
467
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,080
Look. Could you have made...
468
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,400
a mistake back then,
during that time?
469
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,040
Sorry, James.
What exactly do you mean,
470
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,400
'back then, during that time'?
471
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,760
We all make mistakes.
472
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,880
Outside pressures get to us.Just
say what you're thinking, James.
473
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,920
Could a member of your team have
buried the evidence and what
you brought to me -
474
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,280
I can't believe you said it.
You've got balls.
475
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,320
Leave it, Matt. It's OK.
James.
476
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,080
I handed it in to the office.
I'm sorry. I can't remember
to who or when.
477
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,880
Look. I really need to find -
James!
478
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,240
I need to find the statement!That
does allow you to accuse my officers.
479
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,400
I'm not accusing anyone.
If you've lost evidence we gave you,
it's your cockup, not ours.
480
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,280
So get your own house in order!
481
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:37,480
James, DI Chandler has just phoned.
482
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,920
Details of Janice Hunter's
statement were entered
onto the police database.
483
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,760
That still doesn't mean it came here.
Dillon's defence team
484
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,480
received a copy of the witness
schedule three days later.
485
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,560
Janice Hunter's name and statement
weren't on it.
486
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,120
That schedule came from the CPS.
487
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:02,320
So somebody in these offices...
488
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,360
must've deleted it.
489
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:06,880
So somebody here
must've signed for it.
490
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,840
Now we know it was here,
we can find out who was on Reception.
491
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,200
They might remember who they
gave it to.James, it's too late.
492
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,200
James Steel.
493
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,880
I'm arresting you on suspicion of
perverting the course of justice.
494
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,040
You do not have to say anything,
but if may harm your defence
495
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,560
if you do not mention when questioned
something which you later
rely on in court.
496
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,000
Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.
497
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,920
To the charge of perverting
the course of justice,
498
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,960
how do you plead?
499
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,720
Not guilty.
Mr Cain?
500
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,960
My Lord.
501
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:04,240
Crown objects to bail on the grounds
that the defendant will interfere
with witnesses,
502
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:10,280
having already aggressively
approached the police investigation
team at their place of work
503
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,640
and asked for their help.
I wasn't interfering.
504
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,880
I'd ask Mr Steel not to interrupt,
and remember
505
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,840
that he is present in this
courtroom first and foremost
506
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,560
as a defendant.
507
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,200
Bail...will be granted...
508
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,320
with appropriate conditions.
My Lord, one more thing.
509
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,480
I would like to conduct my defence
from Counsel's Row.
510
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,400
Crown objects on the basis that
this may be confusing to the jury.
511
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,480
How can it be fair and just for me
to conduct my defence from the dock?
512
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,600
I can't possibly be afforded
a fair trial in these circumstances.
513
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,360
I'll allow it.
I think we can trust the jury
514
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,400
to understand that Mr Steel
is on trial.
515
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,400
You brought me in
to do an impartial job.
516
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,920
And to do that,
I will need access to everything.
517
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,840
Sorry. Am I interrupting?
518
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,160
We haven't been introduced.
Samuel Cain.
519
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,080
Alesha Phillips.
520
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,160
Miss Phillips, given that I'm going
to be calling you as a witness,
521
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,480
I'm afraid it's not appropriate
for you to be working in here.
522
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,520
In the interests of a fair trial.
523
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,120
This is my office.
Not any more.
524
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,400
So please, take what you need
and then set up in the paralegals'
office.
525
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,760
We've cleared a space for you.
526
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,680
It's just a temporary measure,
Alesha.
527
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,360
Well, I'll...leave you to it.
No, don't disappear.
528
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,760
I need to go through a few details
with you...for my opening.
529
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,040
Er, Miss Phillips.
Can you give us a moment?
530
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,560
Thank you.
531
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,920
Hey. How are you doing?
532
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,280
I need you to do something for me.
533
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,400
Get me these files from the CPS.
534
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,480
They should be in the personnel
system, so you might need to dig,
but specifically,
535
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,920
these days in August six years ago.
I'm not allowed
536
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,160
near our office.
I'm not sure that I can.
537
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,360
Please. I have to find out who was
in the office when that evidence
came in.
538
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,000
James -It's my only hope.
I wouldn't ask you otherwise.
539
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,520
Yeah.
540
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,120
You've been the defendant's
lead assistant counsel for how long?
541
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,840
Over two years.
542
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,360
And in your close experience,
would you say that the defendant has
543
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,360
the final say on every decision?
544
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,680
Yes. He's the lead prosecutor.
545
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,200
But he likes me to challenge him.
546
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,360
Do you have to challenge him often?
547
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,840
Yes.
548
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,400
I mean, he -
Did you have to challenge him
during the Don Marsh case?
549
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,320
I don't remember.
550
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,240
Well, let me remind you.
The defendant told Donald Marsh,
551
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,480
a known criminal,
552
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,920
that he had a witness
who was willing to place him
553
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,960
at the scene of a crime.
554
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,960
When in fact...
he had no such assurance.
555
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,000
Do you recall the case?
556
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,920
Yes.
557
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,920
Did you approve...of those methods?
558
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,600
Not at first. But I trus-
Yes or no...
559
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,520
Miss Phillips?
No.
560
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,560
Miss Phillips.
561
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:04,200
Has the defendant ever asked you
to do anything dishonest?
562
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,800
Anything that might
make you feel compromised
563
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,960
in the eyes of the law?
564
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,560
No.
565
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,920
Miss Martin, you worked very closely
with the defendant
566
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,440
on the Andrew Dillon case.
Yes.
567
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,600
18-hour days were usual.
568
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,120
Did you ever see him
do anything illegal?No.
569
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,240
But...
570
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,200
Please. Go on, Miss Martin.
571
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,320
He'd interview
several expert witnesses
572
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,600
before he found the one
who said what he needed.
573
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:46,720
So, did the defendant...
unfairly coerce these witnesses?
574
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,360
He told the handwriting expert
on the Dillon case that his evidence
575
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,560
could prevent
more children being killed.
576
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,080
This is hearsay from
a prejudiced witness, My Lord.
577
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,760
Far from it, My Lord.
Miss Martin was a devoted employee.
578
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,920
You'll have your chance
to cross examine, Mr Steel.
579
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,040
Miss Martin.
Why did you leave the CPS?
580
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,280
I was...uncomfortable with
the defendant's way of working.
581
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,720
He was absolutely determined
to convict Andrew Dillon.
582
00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:19,720
Did you delete Janice Hunter's
583
00:34:19,720 --> 00:34:21,760
witness statement?
No.
584
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,720
I knew nothing about it.
585
00:34:23,720 --> 00:34:26,480
Thank you, Miss Martin.
No further questions, My Lord.
586
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,240
Is it true you were having an affair
with the defendant during that time?
587
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,920
When did this happen?
588
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,120
Will you answer the question, please?
My Lord.
589
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,520
Is the er...witness's sexual history
really relevant?
590
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,680
Absolutely, My Lord. If we're to
believe this witness's testimony,
591
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,720
I must be allowed to question
her motive for wanting to
sully the reputation
592
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:07,160
of a former colleague.
I'll allow it.
593
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,960
Could you answer the question,
please? Yes or no?
594
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,280
Yes, I was.
How long did the affair last?
595
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,400
Almost a year.
Who ended the relationship?
596
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,320
You did.
How did you feel when it ended?
597
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,760
Had you not told the defendant...
that you loved him?
598
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,840
You planned a future together?
599
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,240
Sorry. Was that a yes or a no?
Yes! I told you
600
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:43,840
I loved you.And when the affair
ended, didn't you feel betrayed?
601
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,560
So betrayed that you claimed you
could no longer carry on
working at the CPS.
602
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,400
Betrayal is an interesting choice
of word from a man who was
cheating on his wife.
603
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,120
You're using this trial
as a platform for revenge.
604
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,360
You're lying about
why you left the CPS.
605
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,680
You used me.
606
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,400
You know... I'd have done
anything for you.
607
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,880
Anything.
608
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,680
Which is exactly why the jury should
see your evidence for what it is.
609
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,240
The emotional backlash
of a woman scorned.
610
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,960
Did you get it?
611
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,200
Thank you.
612
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,280
This is everything?
All the receptionists?
613
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,040
What?You really will do
anything to win, won't you?
614
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,800
I had to discredit
her evidence against me.
615
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,720
So she was just collateral damage.
616
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:57,080
Yeah.
617
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,440
Thank you.
618
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,080
Do you know what your
success rate is as a prosecutor?
619
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,560
No. I've no idea.
I don't keep a record of it.
620
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,600
Well, I can tell you.
621
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,640
It's 93%.
622
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,560
Which is...very high.
623
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,600
Are you proud of those results?
624
00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:29,760
I'd be happier if it was 100.
625
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,600
Is that what drives you... Mr Steel?
626
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,640
Winning?
627
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,360
No. It's about...
628
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,400
doing my job properly.
629
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,760
If I believe er...
the accused to be guilty,
630
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,240
I have to do everything I can to
631
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:47,440
prove that to the jury.
Everything you can?
632
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,920
Tell me. After Dr Alec Merrick
633
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:55,360
was acquitted of rape
in Crown & Merrick 2009, is it true
634
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,240
that you then had him
publicly arrested
635
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:00,280
on a fictional rape charge?
636
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,320
Dr Alec Merrick...
637
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,960
abused his position
and attacked 14 women.
638
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,600
I used the system
to get him back into court.
639
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,720
I would say you found
a highly questionable loophole.
640
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,720
No. I gave his victims a voice
641
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:19,280
by exploiting a flaw in the system.
A flaw in the system?Yes.
642
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,840
Mr Steel.
643
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,400
Are you so assured of your own
abilities that you believe
you're somehow...
644
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,400
above the legal system
in this country?
645
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,920
I'm sorry. I didn't realise
I was on trial here
646
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,800
for the successful prosecution
of a serial rapist.You're not.
647
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,160
But in order to try and give your
victims their voice, as you put it,
648
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,360
you take the law
into your own hands, Mr Steel.
649
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,800
And for that...you are on trial.
650
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,320
I do my best to work within a system
651
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,560
that I cherish and respect.
652
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,640
These courtrooms are...
653
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,680
They're cathedrals
to anyone who believes in -
654
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,080
But who, in these...cathedrals...
655
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,400
Mr Steel...allowed you to play God?
656
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,880
And who are you to say
who is guilty or innocent,
657
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,960
regardless of the law?
It isn't about playing God, Mr Cain.
658
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,760
Are you sure?
Absolutely, yes!
659
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,760
There is no value whatever in
putting away the wrong man for my
pride or your statistics.
660
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,880
Because they mean nothing.
661
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:25,120
To stand where you're standing now
is an honour, Mr Cain.Yes.
662
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,760
And that honour
carries a responsibility.
663
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,680
The responsibility, if necessary,
to take away someone's liberty.
664
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,920
Which is why the abuse
of that responsibility
665
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,800
is such a serious crime.
What happens, Mr Steel,
666
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,840
when you see a piece of evidence
667
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:43,440
which shatters your clearcut image
of right and wrong?
668
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,000
I go back and I rebuild my case.
669
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,960
Because that's what we do, you and I.
We build walls.
670
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,160
Pieces of...evidence are like...
671
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,480
blocks of stone, and each block
is dragged into place.
672
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,360
So that when we stand in court, we
have a wall that can't be breached.
673
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,320
If Defence have something that can
take away one of those blocks,
674
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,400
the walls tumble down and I lose.
675
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,480
We all lose, because
I haven't done my job properly.
676
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,520
Which is precisely why we're here.
677
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,160
Who was the lead prosecutor
on this case?
678
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:21,160
I was.So, who should
ultimately take responsibility...
679
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,760
for you not doing your job?
680
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,280
For this terrible...miscarriage
681
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,320
of justice.
682
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,720
If I'd seen that statement...
683
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,720
..I would never have buried it,
684
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:38,560
knowing that the real killer
could still be out there
and might kill again.
685
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,240
With the evidence incomplete,
Mr Steel, that is exactly
what happened.
686
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,520
Your walls...came tumbling down.
687
00:40:55,720 --> 00:40:57,760
No further questions, My Lord.
688
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,440
Er... My Lord, I'd like to call
one further witness.
689
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,960
It's very late in the day, Mr Steel.
690
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,000
I apologise for that, My Lord.
691
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,880
I'd like to call Sally-Anne Hope
692
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,400
to the witness box.
693
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,000
No idea.
694
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,320
I swear by Almighty God
that the evidence I shall give
695
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,320
shall be the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.
696
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,960
What do you do for a living,
Miss Hope?
697
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,880
I'm a paralegal secretary.
698
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,000
Have you always done legal work?
Yes. Ever since I started temping.
699
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,600
And you did temp work
at the CPS, Ludgate Hill.
700
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,680
Yes.
When did you work there? Precisely.
701
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,960
Six years ago,
for two weeks in August.
702
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:01,040
Your memory seems very clear on this.
Can you tell the court why?
703
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,200
It was during the buildup
to the Andrew Dillon trial.
It was all over the news.
704
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,160
I remember the police
coming to the house, telling us
705
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,480
not to let anyone under 16
out on their own.
706
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,160
And how did that affect you
personally?
707
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,400
My brother was 10 at the time.
708
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,640
I had to get him to school
before I could come to work.
709
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,120
It was my first job
and I was worried about being late.
710
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,200
Do you remember...
711
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,200
a CID officer coming to Reception
on the 11th of August?
712
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,440
Yes. He gave me a package.
713
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,080
Said it contained evidence
about the Dillon case.
714
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:36,800
What did you do with it?
First chance I got, I handed it to
one of the prosecution team.
715
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,680
Do you remember who you gave it to,
Miss Hope?
716
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,720
Yes.
717
00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:45,920
Is that person...
here in the courtroom today?
718
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,160
Yes.
719
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,360
Could you point them out to the jury,
please?
720
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,840
It was that lady there.
721
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,840
In relation to the count of
perverting the course of justice,
722
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,520
do you find the defendant,
James Steel, guilty or not guilty?
723
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,720
Not guilty.
724
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,400
You can't blame yourself, James.
725
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,080
We can only do
what we believe is right.
726
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,720
I should've known.
727
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,440
Despite my recent acquittal,
728
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,000
there was a miscarriage of justice.
729
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,320
For which I hold myself responsible.
730
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:17,200
That wrongful conviction
led to the deaths of three children.
731
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,240
Which is unforgivable.
732
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:22,400
Therefore,
my position has become untenable.
733
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:26,720
And... I'm resigning from the CPS
with immediate effect.
734
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,920
It's weird...coming to work
and you're not there.
735
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,320
You'll get used to it.
736
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,080
Bet you'll have forgotten
I was even there in a few weeks.
737
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,120
Don't be silly.
738
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,680
It'll be a few days, once I've
cleared your desk out!
739
00:45:00,720 --> 00:45:02,880
Alesha...
740
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,200
It's George.
741
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,000
I have to...
Yeah, yeah. Sure.
742
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,640
George.
743
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,360
I'm on my way back now.
744
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,080
I spoke to the woman
at Longlife Direct.
745
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,200
Can he...pick up the hard copies?
746
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,640
No, it's all right.
747
00:45:38,240 --> 00:45:40,280
Or I can e-mail them.
748
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,320
Mm-hm.
749
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,800
