An 18-year-old lad, and a bungled investigation into the death of his brother. 369 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,040 It's the sort of emotive mitigation 370 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,760 that could get Jamal Clarkson five years for manslaughter 371 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,800 instead of life for murder. 372 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,880 I'm going to run an abuse argument. 373 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,440 On what grounds? 374 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,000 Abuse of process. 375 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,800 DS Ronnie Brooks was sent on leave, wasn't he? 376 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,160 Mm-hm. 377 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,480 So what was he doing interviewing key witnesses, including my client, 378 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,240 who he questioned alone, off tape. 379 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:21,080 I understand DS Brooks was on compassionate leave at the time of this 'interview'? 380 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,040 Which is why it's an abuse of process. 381 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,640 He had no right being in the police station, 382 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,680 let alone interrogating my client. 383 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,800 My Lord, I do not condone DS Brooks' actions 384 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,680 but they in no way impede the defendant's ability to have a fair trial. 385 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,480 I'm sorry, Mr Greer, I have to concur with Mr Thorne. Trial goes ahead. 386 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:45,160 However, I take a dim view of DS Brooks's behaviour during the investigation 387 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,120 and have no problem with you raising this in evidence. 388 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,520 Thank you, My Lord. I will also be adducing evidence 389 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,760 in relation to the defendant's brother, if that meets with your agreement. 390 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,880 I'll hear your argument at trial. 391 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,040 With the wrong jury and a sympathetic judge, 392 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,080 Jamal Clarkson could be out in time to celebrate his 21st. 393 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:07,800 We could make an application to exclude all evidence of Kieron Clarkson's death as irrelevant. 394 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,520 Or we can prove beyond doubt that he committed suicide, 395 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,400 and prove the police did nothing wrong. 396 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,040 Start with whoever wielded that felt-tip pen. 397 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,480 Seven years ago? Are you serious? 398 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,360 I could barely remember seven months ago with the workload I had back then. 399 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,760 Not that it was appreciated. 400 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,520 The Home Office pathology department seem to think you have the files, Miss Bernard. 401 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,480 It's possible, I suppose. I'll take a look and get back to you. 402 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:35,520 When? 403 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:40,800 When I have time. I'm being called as an expert witness in Leeds tomorrow, Newcastle next week. 404 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,760 Maybe I didn't make myself clear. 405 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,800 These files will be evidence in a murder trial. 406 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,280 Maybe I didn't make myself clear. It's not my problem any more. 407 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:55,600 Hand those files over or we charge you with theft of government property. Is that clear enough? 408 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,920 These notes are pretty detailed. 409 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,800 Cause of death was a single gunshot wound to the skull. 410 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,040 Gunshot residue pattern noted. Is it consistent with suicide? 411 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,040 I said her notes were detailed. I didn't say they were complete. 412 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,080 Why aren't I surprised? 413 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,160 There's nothing about the position of entrance or exit wounds. 414 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,680 You need to study the bevelling of the bone to know which direction the bullet was travelling in. 415 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,600 Wouldn't there be postmortem photos? I'm not seeing any. 416 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,440 So they're missing or they weren't taken in the first place? 417 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,120 Maybe she used the pictures for a lecture or research. It happens all the time. 418 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,840 So we're no closer to knowing if it's suicide than we were before we got the file? 419 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,880 Oh, there is one way. 420 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,560 Get me the skull of Kieron Clarkson, I'll tell you for sure. 421 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,840 You don't have to be here. Yes, I do. 422 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,320 The day I brought him into the world I swore to God 423 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,440 I'd always be there for him, every step of the way. 424 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,200 Oh, my, God. No, no. 425 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:32,080 .* 426 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,560 The funeral home was owned by Damian Haleford. 427 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,600 It isn't any more? 428 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:41,800 Haleford was convicted five years ago for flogging corpses to foreign medical schools. 429 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,840 The investigating officer thought they'd identified all the missing bodies. 430 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,920 Except one. 431 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,680 None of this has got anything to do with Matt's death. 432 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,920 Tell me you're gonna put his killer behind bars? 433 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,240 I honestly don't know. I thought it was cut and dry 434 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,600 but I had no idea that Ronnie had been involved in the investigation. 435 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,640 No, well, he wasn't supposed to be. 436 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,240 Please, tell me there's nothing else to worry about. 437 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,000 Forensics determined the bullets retrieved from DS Devlin's body 438 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,040 were fired from a .38 calibre gun. 439 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,720 We found the gun that fired those bullets 440 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,480 dumped near the abandoned car. 441 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,000 Did you speak to the defendant? 442 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,760 Yes, I brought him in for questioning. 443 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,680 And did he have anything to say about DS Devlin's death? 444 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,560 Yes. He confessed to killing him. 445 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,080 No further questions, My Lord. 446 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,240 Did you question Jamal about where he got the gun? Yes. 447 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,240 And whose car he was driving? Yes. 448 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,240 And there was something else, about a holiday to Barbados? 449 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:47,360 Your client was extremely volatile. I was trying to make him see sense. 450 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,560 So you got angry? 451 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,360 No. I was in control. 452 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,400 Were you in control when you told him that the police service 453 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,360 would give you a free holiday to Barbados if you beat up a black suspect? 454 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,120 I was... I was kidding. 455 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,400 Who assisted you with the investigation? 456 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,320 A number of officers. 457 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,000 Was DS Ronnie Brooks one of them? He was on leave. 458 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,960 Yet he accompanied you and contributed to questioning a number of witnesses, did he not? 459 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,240 Could you answer the question please? Yes, he did. 460 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,040 So you let an officer you hardly knew, 461 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,480 who was grieving his partner's death, 462 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,920 interview the man suspected of killing his partner? 463 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,680 Yes, but I couldn't stop him. 464 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,200 This sounds very familiar. 465 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,920 This is what happened to Jamal's brother when he was murdered. 466 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,440 Hackney Police made the case disappear by calling it a suicide. 467 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,880 They kept it invisible by not only losing his files, 468 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,920 but Kieron's actual body. 469 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,080 My client pulled the trigger, 470 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,080 and that is why you may find him guilty of manslaughter, 471 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,720 but not murder. My Lord, is this a speech or a question? 472 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,360 You can leave the summing up to me, Mr Greer. 473 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,520 I'm not a racist! I know you're not. 474 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,560 Yeah, but he made me look like one! 475 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,360 Is this gonna screw up the case? It's not you who's screwing up this case. 476 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,120 God knows what Ronnie was thinking of. 477 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,560 Will Jamal Clarkson still go down for this? 478 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,800 Can you tell us about the last time you saw Kieron Clarkson? 479 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,800 He must a' been seen chatting with my bredren's girl, y'know? 480 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:31,080 So me and my gang said we'd go and look for him, see? 481 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,800 And what happened? 482 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,840 Turn him back and started running for him life, y'see? 483 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,120 I man shot him in the back o' him head piece. 484 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,720 Did the police question you in relation to this shooting? 485 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,920 Yeah. Told 'em it weren't me. 486 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,600 And they believed you? Look like they did, yeah. 487 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,880 You're serving life for conspiracy to murder, is that right? 488 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,200 That's wha' you all say, yeah. 489 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,600 So you have no reason to lie? 490 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,400 You have no reason to tell the truth either, have you? 491 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,960 In fact, you've changed your story quite considerably, have you not? 492 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,680 On your first interview, you told Hackney Police that you didn't see anything. 493 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,160 After the postmortem, you changed your story and told them... 494 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,880 you were walking up the stairwell 495 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,040 when you heard a gunshot from the floor above. 496 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,200 You got there a second or so later to find Kieron Clarkson dead on the ground, 497 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,240 gun beside him and no-one else on the scene. 498 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,520 I told 'em what they wanted me to say, innit? 499 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,800 And now, you've changed your story yet again. 500 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,560 And why not? It'll make no difference to your sentence 501 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,720 if you killed Kieron Clarkson or not, will it? 502 00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:52,640 Though I imagine being responsible for a gang killing 503 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,640 will make a considerable difference to your status inside. 504 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,560 Well, you can't disrespect my aim now, see? 505 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,880 More cred to you for having shot and killed a man 506 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:08,480 than having gone down for a bungled attempted murder, I presume? 507 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,560 No further questions, My Lord. 508 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,440 I can't remember details of a postmortem I performed seven years ago. 509 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,600 Please show the witness Exhibit nine. 510 00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:21,440 Thank you. 511 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,440 You recognise this, Dr Bernard? 512 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,880 Yes. It's a case summary from a postmortem. 513 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,200 It has my initials so I must have conducted it. 514 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,240 If I may? 515 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,400 It contains the basic details of a case? 516 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,960 The detailed reports would be kept inside. 517 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:42,960 Only this one is empty. 518 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,720 Does that mean you didn't do the detailed report? 519 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,640 Absolutely not. I wouldn't complete the summary 520 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,680 until after I completed the report. 521 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,320 And you know it was a suicide because you ticked the little box. 522 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,440 That's right. I perform thousands of postmortems 523 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,800 and always follow the exact same procedure. 524 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,920 And what happens after you tick that little suicide box? 525 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,600 The case is closed. 526 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,040 So hypothetically, if a police officer was frustrated 527 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,080 with a case going nowhere, you could help him out by... 528 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,360 making that little tick? 529 00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:20,760 That's absurd. But possible. 530 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,160 You have in front of you Exhibit 11. Do you recognise it? 531 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,800 Yes. It's my notes from the postmortem on Kieron Clarkson. 532 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,640 Earlier Mark Ellis gave evidence he shot Kieron Clarkson in the back of the head. 533 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,640 Do your notes confirm this? 534 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,680 Actually quite the opposite. 535 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,840 The pattern of gunshot residue indicates the bullet entered the skull here. 536 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,440 So, in your opinion, Mark Ellis must have been lying 537 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,920 when he claimed he shot Kieron Clarkson in the back of the head? 538 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,680 Yes. In order for me to tick the suicide box 539 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,840 there must have been other forensic markers 540 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,880 indicating this was not a murder. 541 00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:06,040 I may have misunderstood the pathologist I spoke to 542 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,720 but I think Gail Bernard is taking liberties with the truth. 543 00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:11,520 After what I did for you today I was expecting champagne! 544 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,040 You must have sunk a bottle if you think what you did is worth celebrating! 545 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,080 You lied in the witness box! I embellished. 546 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,320 You misled the jury. You deliberately missed out the most crucial bit of information. 547 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,000 Gunshot residue isn't enough to determine a bullet's entrance and exit point. 548 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,560 You think a jury will know that? 549 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,440 This isn't a game, Dr Bernard. The defence will smell the same rat. 550 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,280 Have you any idea of the damage it could do to this trial? 551 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,520 I didn't even want to give evidence. I told you I don't remember anything about this case. 552 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,720 I did it to help you. You did it to help yourself. 553 00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:44,000 If the whole world saw how slapdash you were in the Clarkson case, 554 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,720 then your lucrative little business as an expert witness might dry up. 555 00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:52,080 Your "embellishment" means that your entire evidence could be ruled inadmissible. 556 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,640 How am I supposed to give evidence about a case I don't remember? 557 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,440 I was overworked and exhausted most of the time I was in that job. 558 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,480 Hang on, are you saying you ticked that box by mistake? 559 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,080 The truth is, I honestly don't know. 560 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,880 Because of you, Kieron Clarkson's family will never know how that boy died. 561 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,680 Doug Greer's called Dr Bernard back to the witness box first thing. 562 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,160 The jury hears she lied and we're up the creek without a paddle. 563 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,200 Well, is he going to call Jamal? 564 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,480 Of course. Greer wants the jury to hear first hand 565 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,320 how Jamal's the victim and the police are the villains. 566 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,440 Greer said that Jamal never went there intending to kill anyone. 567 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,360 But Jamal told me that he went there planning to kill Ellis. 568 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,920 If the jury hears him say why he went there, and what he was going to do, and what he did, 569 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,880 then surely they will see that as murder and not manslaughter. 570 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,400 Greer won't let Jamal repeat that in the witness box. 571 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,440 Well someone's got to make that kid grow a conscience. 572 00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:00,880 Couldn't you make him open up in cross? 573 00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:04,160 I hope so, Ronnie, because unless he talks, 574 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,200 the jury will acquit him of murder. 575 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,160 When my daughter was about ten, 576 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,160 my then wife ordered her a doll for her birthday. 577 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,840 But the doll didn't turn up. We just assumed it got lost in the post. 578 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,760 Just in case, I went round a few neighbours' houses, 579 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,200 just to ask if anyone had taken a package in. 580 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,800 Anyway, I got round to Mrs Riley's house 581 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:30,200 and there was her granddaughter playing with the exact same doll. 582 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,960 Mrs Riley reckoned she'd bought it in the market. 583 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,240 Is there a point to this? 584 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:41,200 About a week later, I got a phone call from my daughter's school. 585 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,640 My Sarah had been fighting with Tina Riley. 586 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,120 You see, Sarah had heard me, after a few too many drinks, 587 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,240 screaming blue murder at Tina Riley's nan. 588 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:57,360 Hatred is not inherited, Mrs Clarkson.
