Oh, just thought I'd spare you the hassle. 383 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,240 These sort of cases are never much fun. 384 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,280 You're a crap liar. 385 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,360 We have grave concerns if granted bail, 386 00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:39,080 these boys may attempt to interfere with witnesses, 387 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,440 particularly the victim herself, who lives in the same borough. 388 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,800 A witness and location ban will take care of that. 389 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,840 This a violent group rape, during which, 390 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,720 the defendants were armed with a gun. 391 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,520 A toy gun, which they used for a harmless prank, M'Lord. 392 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,160 I understand the police were unable to find this gun 393 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,200 to ascertain if it is real or not. 394 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,280 That's correct. My client is a 15-year-old boy. 395 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,960 He's never been in any trouble with the police, 396 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,080 gang-related or otherwise. He and the young lady in question 397 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,280 engaged in consensual sexual intercourse 398 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,560 and she was quite happy for this to be filmed. 399 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,720 Anna Russo is 14 years old, My Lord, 400 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,960 and if these boys were a few months older, there would be no debate. 401 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,840 It would be statutory rape. Anything to add, gentlemen? 402 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,520 My client used no force whatsoever. 403 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,400 There's absolutely no proof 404 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,840 this is anything more than normal teenage sex. 405 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,600 There's nothing normal about a 14-year-old having sex 406 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,440 with three older teenagers. 407 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,480 It's normal to teenagers today. 408 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,920 They even have their own slang terms for group sex. 409 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,160 Er...pulling train, line up, need I go on? 410 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,200 You need not, Mr Langton. 411 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,360 There is no sign of any struggle on the video. 412 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:54,080 Nor any utterance of the word 'no' prior to sexual intercourse. 413 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,960 I think, in light of these factors, 414 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,080 it really is a case of he says, she says. 415 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,080 Bail is granted. 416 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:06,880 I will, however, be imposing a curfew between 7pm and 7am. 417 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,560 As well as witness and location bans. 418 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,720 The man's not fit to try parking fines. We are talking about the judge 419 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,040 who virtually stated in open court that he didn't believe in date rape. 420 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,480 Or rape within marriage. Reynolds needs to retire. 421 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,400 And the public wonder how it's possible reports have gone up 422 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,640 and convictions down. It's not just Reynolds. 423 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,120 Although, he's certainly responsible for his fair share of dismissals. 424 00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:30,200 Let's make sure this isn't one of those. 425 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,880 Reece Leighwood was the main instigator, wasn't he? 426 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,840 Who's running his defence? 427 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,480 Renay Everett, she's seen the video. 428 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,120 How she can still defend him is beyond me. 429 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,600 Good luck. 430 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,480 Application to exclude the mobile phone footage. 431 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,920 You can't. I can have a bloody good try. 432 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,120 Oh, come on, Aleisha. You'd do the same in my position. 433 00:25:56,120 --> 00:25:58,160 I wouldn't be in your position. 434 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,160 One more rape case and I've done my quota, 435 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,040 my boss will let me turn them down. 436 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,120 But till then, I am stuck with defending Reece Leighwood. 437 00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:09,160 What are your grounds? Well, Judge Reynolds summed it up. 438 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,800 No sign of rape on the footage. Just consenting teenage sex 439 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,720 followed by my client pulling a practical joke with a toy gun. 440 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,880 If you believed that, you'd want the video in. 441 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,320 You know that juries always see what they want to see. 442 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,600 You're scared they'll see the truth. That your client and his friends 443 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,760 saw the whole thing as a bit of fun. The jury will see Anna Russo alive 444 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,280 and assume the rape's every bit as fake as the murder. 445 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,560 It's not about what's on the video, is it? 446 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,120 You're worried about the additional charges. 447 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,400 The only reason Miss Everett wants the video excluded 448 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,920 is so we drop the weapons and indecent image charges, 449 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,800 which are categorically proven by the mobile phone footage. 450 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,840 My Lord, that's nonsense. 451 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,560 The video will prejudice my client's ability to get a fair trial. 452 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,040 This schoolboy prank he plays with a toy gun 453 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,000 could be misread as sinister, while the sex is quite clearly consensual. 454 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,480 Your client personally sent that video to six different boys. 455 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,960 That is making and distributing indecent images of a child. 456 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,440 Legally, my client is a child. 457 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,240 He made a video of himself having sex and sent it to a mate. 458 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,120 That's bragging, that's not distributing child porn. 459 00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:20,760 Do you have any idea how offensive that term is 460 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,120 to victims of child abuse? I have to agree with Miss Everett. 461 00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:27,400 Her client had no sinister motive in sending out the video. 462 00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:30,400 I have made my decision. 463 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,440 The video footage is excluded. 464 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,080 Without the mobile footage, we have to drop 465 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,640 the making and distribution of child abuse images and the weapons charge. 466 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,560 The police never found the gun. Those boys probably chucked it 467 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,480 in the Thames the second they heard Anna had made a statement. 468 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,360 Just as well they weren't bright enough 469 00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:50,240 to clear the scene of their DNA. If the jury saw that video, 470 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,400 they'd convict without question. You still have the ID parade, 471 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,680 DNA, the girl's evidence and the eye witness, 472 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,360 that's a hell of a lot more than we usually go to court with. 473 00:27:58,360 --> 00:28:00,600 Of course, if you really want to piss Renay off, 474 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,400 there is one other way. 475 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,080 You could adduce bad character evidence. 476 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,160 Other victims? Those boys filmed and distributed that attack. 477 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,800 There's no way it's the first time they've done this. 478 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,000 They police checked, none of the boys had any previous arrests 479 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,360 for similar offences. Of course they didn't. 480 00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:19,240 It just means they haven't been caught. 481 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,280 Anna is the exception. 482 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,320 You need to find the rule. 483 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,000 How would I know?

You hung around with them long enough, Danny. 485 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,640 Look, you don't understand what it's like. 486 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,960 If you're not in the gang, you're a target. 487 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,800 I don't believe this was the first time. There must have been others. 488 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,760 Come on, Danny. 489 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,520 Anna was your friend, you saw what she went through. 490 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,440 How many other girls are out there, 491 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,520 too scared to report what Reece and the others did to them? 492 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,640 Danny? 493 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,480 Well...there was this one girl. 494 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,280 But they said she was up for it. 495 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,440 It's what they're saying about Anna, too. 496 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,880 We sent out text invites, told the whole estate she wanted a line up. 497 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,600 Were you there?
