1 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,440 In the criminal justice system the people are represented 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,920 by two separate yet equally important groups - 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,960 the police who investigate crime 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,120 and the crown prosecutors who prosecute the offenders. 5 00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:15,160 These are their stories. 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,240 Yes! Come on! 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,920 Billy. I can hardly hear it. 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,920 I'm getting up at six. If I turn it down any more I might as well turn it off. 9 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,760 There's an idea. 10 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,400 OK. 11 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,560 Stop it! What are you doing? Stop it! 12 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,400 Billy. Let me go, let me go. 13 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,200 No, please. Please, no. 14 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,280 Billy, what is it? 15 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,800 You say you weren't on your own. 16 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,720 No, my girlfriend was with me the whole time. Right. 17 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,040 And you only heard a woman's voice, yeah? 18 00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:10,920 My Xbox was pretty loud. I only turned it down after she screamed. 19 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,480 OK. One of our uniform will get some more details. 20 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,520 Mrs Golofsky owns the building. 21 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,600 Ah, Mrs Golofsky, hello. I'm Detective Sergeant Brooks. 22 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,400 Did you hear anything? Sorry? 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,960 Just trying to find out if you heard anything at all? 24 00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:27,960 Oh, no, nothing at all. 25 00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:31,600 What about the girl who fell - did she have a husband or boyfriend? 26 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,520 Oh, no, I never saw her with anyone. 27 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,560 As a matter of fact, I used to think 28 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,080 maybe she was the other way inclined. 29 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,000 The victim's gone into surgery so we can't speak to her for a while. OK. 30 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,600 And do you have a spare key for Stephanie's flat? 31 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,640 Oh, yes. In the key cupboard. 32 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,680 Right, we need to have a look around. 33 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,000 Do you need a key to get into the building? 34 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,880 Yes...but you can use the buzzer. Right. 35 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,600 My nephew put in a new lock in April. 36 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,840 He's very technical is Alan. 37 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,600 Well, if you fetch that key for us that would be great 38 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,040 and Anne will look after you. OK? Thank you. 39 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,240 Right, we've got three old dears that were fast asleep. 40 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,120 The bloke who found Stephanie said he was out of the flat 41 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,560 as soon as he heard her fall but didn't see or hear anyone else. 42 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,760 So the thing is...who did it? 43 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,520 And how did they get out? 44 00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:07,960 You won't make a mess, will you? 45 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,840 She likes to keep everything looking nice. 46 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,040 Was this her? Oh, yes. 47 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,960 She can look really lovely when she makes an effort. 48 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,120 Do you know what she does for a living? 49 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,400 She's a nurse. On the children's ward. 50 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,480 At Alderman's Hospital. Oh. OK. 51 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,080 Thanks for your help, Mrs Golofsky. We appreciate it. 52 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,920 Leave it to us now and we'll drop the key in when we're done. Is that OK? 53 00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:34,760 Oh, right. Thank you. 54 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,280 Ronnie. Yeah. 55 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,160 Look at this. A whole file of emails all addressed to Stephanie, 56 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,400 starting in the beginning of last year, 57 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,200 and signed by Giovanni. 58 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,360 I get the impression he was typing one-handed. 59 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,240 They've tried tracking him, blocking him, you name it. 60 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,280 Emails just keep coming. 61 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,720 I take it she changed her email address. Half a dozen times. Made no difference. 62 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,880 She's kept hard copies of everything. 63 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,560 I guess she didn't want this clogging up her inbox. 64 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,080 I want to see you in that little pink cami set tonight. 65 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,680 I'll know you're thinking of me when you stretch out on your new Ikea mattress. 66 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,520 Then I want you to strip off... 67 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,440 Ugh. I want to wash my hands. 68 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,520 We found these little pink pyjamas under her pillow 69 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,040 and she bought a mattress from Ikea when she moved into her new flat. 70 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,800 He knows what toothpaste she uses, furniture polish, everything. 71 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,320 And he's thought of new uses for most of them. 72 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,720 Any word from the hospital? She's sedated until the swelling on her brain goes down. 73 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,760 Any direct threats in here 74 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,880 like, 'I'm coming over to push you down the stairs'? No. 75 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,240 I want to know who this pervert is. 76 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,440 Did she report these to anyone? Yes, to a DS Fraser at Northcross CSU. 77 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,400 If someone reports a stalker we don't just tell them not to worry. 78 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,120 But we have to prioritise according to threat level. 79 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,520 And this guy's clever. He uses multiple email addresses 80 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,040 and routes them through anonymous remailers. Pretty much impossible to track. 81 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,640 When did he start with the threatening phone calls? About six months ago. 82 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,920 Stephanie was freaked out by the emails. 83 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,320 Her work put her on day shift so she didn't have to be out at night. 84 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,120 But she was convinced he was getting into her flat when she wasn't there. 85 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,640 That's why she moved. That's when he told her 86 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,280 to stop trying to avoid him or he'd kill her. 87 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,160 He said he'd go to the hospital and take out as many people as he could. 88 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,120 When was this? Two weeks ago. That's when we upgraded her threat level. 89 00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:33,640 And still no leads? Only one. 90 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,440 A few days ago Stephanie got a call from Ashbridge Prison. 91 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,840 They said a prisoner had asked to have her mobile 92 00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:43,240 added to his list of allowed numbers. 93 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,400 Stephanie had never heard of him and she'd only had that mobile a few weeks. 94 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,080 I made a mistake. It's easily done. I put a three instead of a five. 95 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,800 Mr Morgan, you gave Stephanie's name as well as her number. 96 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,960 There's a lot of Stephanies around. Only one got pushed down the stairs. Yeah? 97 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,920 Well, I've got one hell of an alibi. 98 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,200 It doesn't mean you weren't involved 99 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,360 and it won't look too pretty in front of the parole board. 100 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,240 Look, you're pissing up the wrong tree. 101 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,960 A bloke called Lowry asked me to request a number. 102 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,520 Said he was low on phone credit and wanted to hook up with some bird. 103 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,880 Very community-spirited of you. He made it worth my while. 104 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,880 And where is this Lowry now? 105 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,920 Got out last week. 106 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,480 Are we done? 107 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,400 Excuse me. I'm DS Matt Devlin. Do you know the guy who lives here? 108 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,520 A Russell Lowry. Yeah, I know him. 109 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,080 Do you know where we could find him? He starts at the Lord Palmerston. 110 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,080 Keeps going till he finds a girl who's drunk or dumb enough. 111 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,200 Not a fan? Seemed all right at first. Offered me a cheap deal on his laptop. 112 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,560 Invited me in to take a look and then puts his hand up my skirt. 113 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,240 And they say romance is dead. 114 00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:03,920 I think that when you feel a connection with a woman, 115 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,920 you owe it to yourself to follow it up. 116 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,160 OK, Mr Lowry...what about Stephanie Blake? 117 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,400 We met in a bar and we clicked. 118 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,560 When was this? It was about a month ago. 119 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,600 It was a place in town, in Soho. 120 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,360 She gave me her number and I was interested in exploring the possibility. 121 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,000 So why then didn't you just call her? 122 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,120 Well, I...had a little local difficulty. 123 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,600 Remanded for assault in Ashbridge Prison. Yeah. 124 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,880 It was an unfortunate misunderstanding. The judge said it didn't merit a custodial sentence. 125 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,680 Why mess around getting Morgan to request her number? 126 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,480 He was low on smokes but didn't need his phone credits. 127 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,800 I had cigarettes and a lot of calls to make so worked out well for the both of us. 128 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,880 Not strictly within the rules though. No. 129 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,000 But it was a victimless crime. 130 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,160 Do you have a job, Russell? I'm...between careers right now. 131 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,880 I was up north for a while. 132 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,800 I've only recently relocated to London. 133 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,080 Did you contact Stephanie Blake when you got out? 134 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,400 I'm afraid it was a case of out of sight, out of mind. 135 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,640 Another possibility arose. What can I say? I like to spread the love. 136 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,000 Life's short, you know. 137 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,040 See? It's in the email. 138 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,800 I like to spread the love and that's not all I like to spread. 139 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,360 Is this all you have? No forensics, nothing to link him to the scene? 140 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,480 Nothing on the stairs. No fingerprints, no trace evidence. 141 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,840 The only DNA on the chain was on the victim. 142 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,360 But we know Lowry tried to contact Stephanie from prison whilst hiding his identity 143 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,600 and he recently sold his laptop on eBay. 144 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,440 We need a reason to hold on to him while we track down the buyer. 145 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,680 Lowry's neighbour, the one he groped, might she want to report sexual assault? 146 00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:57,480 Well, she seemed pretty keen to see the back of him. 147 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,360 Talk to her. It might buy you some time. 148 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,400 DI Chandler. 149 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,200 Oh, thank you. 150 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,640 Stephanie Blake has regained consciousness. 151 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,280 Do you recognise this man? 152 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,120 No. 153 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,840 You think he's Giovanni? 154 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,120 He says he met you in a bar in Soho a couple of months ago. 155 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,800 I don't go to bars. So this isn't the man that attacked you? 156 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,120 I don't know. 157 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,360 I never saw his face. He grabbed me from behind and I tried to turn around 158 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,400 but he was too strong. 159 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,440 Oh, darling. It's OK, Mum. 160 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,080 Why don't you take us through what happened Stephanie? 161 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,600 I went out to take my rubbish down to the basement... 162 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,200 and he grabbed hold of me at the top of the stairs. 163 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,040 I didn't notice any rubbish on the landing. 164 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,120 No, sorry. It was after I'd taken the rubbish down. 165 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,520 I was coming back up to the flat. 166 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,560 Did he say anything? He said he was Giovanni. 167 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,400 I started to scream and... 168 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,440 he tried to choke me with the necklace I was wearing 169 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,000 and then he threw me down the stairs. Dear God. 170 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,800 Has anyone stood out at all 171 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,800 whose behaviour seemed genuinely suspicious? 172 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,360 The only name I ever came up with was Lucas Dutton. 173 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,440 And who's he? We were living in the same block of flats when the emails started. 174 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,680 Why him? 175 00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:30,600 I'd go to the local supermarket and he'd be there too 176 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,920 or I'd go to the bank on the corner 177 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,960 and he'd be queuing for the cashpoint right behind me. 178 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,520 First the emails, then the phone calls, now he tries to kill me. 179 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,120 Please. 180 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,160 You have to help me. 181 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,120 You have to make him stop. 182 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,800 Lucas Dutton's still living in the same flats. 183 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,560 He's got no record and he's working as a hotel porter. 184 00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:58,840 I reckon Lowry's still our main contender. 185 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,880 I think we've hit a brick wall there. 186 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,200 Lowry forgot to mention that his time up north 187 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,160 was spent in Woodberry Prison just outside Rotherham. 188 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,200 What was he in for? Computer fraud. 189 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,120 Hacking into people's bank accounts, helping himself. 190 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,800 So he'd know how to send emails that can't be traced. 191 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,720 He didn't get out till last July which means he was still banged up when the emails started. 192 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,160 Maybe he got hold of one of them WiFi phones. 193 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,040 See? I do read the papers. 194 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,600 What, and he spent half a day typing a four-page email on a phone? 195 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,040 I know prison security's lax but I think they'd have noticed that. 196 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,080 I wouldn't be so sure. 197 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,520 Matt, you want a bite? No, you're all right. 198 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,160 So what happened with Lowry's neighbour then? 199 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,000 Oh...she had him charged with sexual assault. 200 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,600 He's back in Ashbridge Prison. Good. At least we know where he is. 201 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,640 It's down to what you get out of Mr Dutton then, isn't it? 202 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,440 Are you arresting me? 203 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,360 No, we're talking to you. Then I don't have to answer you. 204 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,480 Can you tell us if you know Stephanie Blake? No comment. 205 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,840 Mr Dutton, look, all we want to do is chat. 206 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,160 If we could come in - That'd be a breach of my human rights. Sorry? 207 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,840 Article 8 European Convention of Human Rights. The right to privacy. 208 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,600 He knows his stuff. He does. We'll come back with a warrant. Do that. 209 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,720 Did you notice the camera? Mm. Maybe he's shooting some home movies. 210 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,760 But whose home? Mm. 211 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,800 I don't think we need a warrant, do you? 212 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,280 All right. 213 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,560 Seriously, when did you last get a successful prosecution for online obscenity? 214 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:31,800 If someone's in a public place you can take their picture. 215 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,240 You've been filming a woman in her own flat. 216 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,040 The same flat that Stephanie Blake lived in. That is voyeurism. 217 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,400 As outlined in Section 67 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003. 218 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,120 Section 67 applies only if someone has an expectation of privacy. 219 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,920 If they leave their curtains open and walk about naked... Come off it. 220 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,760 ..this could be interpreted as consent and then it's not voyeurism. 221 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,240 That's the law. You reckon? 222 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,800 OK. Lucas, where were you at 1am Tuesday morning? 223 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,840 They can't ask me that. 224 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,720 If this relates to a separate investigation I require full disclosure. 225 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,560 Someone threw Stephanie Blake down a flight of stairs. 226 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,360 We know you liked following her around. 227 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,400 I'll bet you filmed her too. 228 00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:17,520 And now we've got your computer so we'll find the emails eventually. 229 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,240 I don't know what they mean. We're here to talk about dirty movies. 230 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,960 You want to talk about assault, we have to start over. 231 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,680 And you'll have to show me evidence linking my client to the victim. 232 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,720 Hold that thought. 233 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,760 Weaselly-looking fellow, isn't he? 234 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,600 Yeah, he is. 235 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,640 You think he's the one who did it? 236 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,880 Well, we don't know yet. 237 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,480 Oh, that poor girl. At least they're letting her home. 238 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,520 Her mother came to collect some clothes for her. 239 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,840 I had to ask her to empty the bin in the kitchen. 240 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,160 There was a terrible smell coming from the flat. 241 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,760 We had rats once, some years ago. 242 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,400 Ohh. I don't want to live through that again. No. Indeed. 243 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,720 Thank you very much, Mrs Golofsky. You've been a great help. Thank you. 244 00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:16,120 I thought Stephanie took the rubbish out. That's what she said. 245 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,800 Right, thanks. 246 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,440 DS Fraser last spoke to Stephanie the day before the attack. 247 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,480 She told her that the prison lead looked like a dead end 248 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,600 and she didn't have the resources to trace the emails. 249 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,400 Not only that, she also said that the situation would only change 250 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,920 if they felt that Stephanie was in immediate physical danger. 251 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,520 And the next day she gets pushed down the stairs. 252 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,640 Forensics checked the locks. No-one forced it. No-one buzzed anyone in. 253 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,200 And then there's the thing with the bin. I mean, it's... 254 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,240 It just doesn't add up, Matty. 255 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,800 That's not the only bin in the flat. 256 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,640 I emptied the others. I was going to do the kitchen one later. 257 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,400 But it just seems a bit odd 258 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,040 that you would leave the kitchen bin, considering it was so full. 259 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,360 Especially given how clean your flat is. 260 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,840 It looked to me like you could eat off the floor. What is this? 261 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:19,360 Someone throws me down the stairs and all you care about is what happened to my rubbish. 262 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,960 No, no, we just want to be sure of the facts, that's all. 263 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,360 You see, in a case like this, assault, 264 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,400 it's very, very unusual for there to be no forensic evidence at all. 265 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,000 I don't know. Maybe he was wearing gloves. 266 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,760 Or maybe he wiped things after he touched them. 267 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,480 Maybe. 268 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,480 It sounds like you don't believe me. 269 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,440 Look, it's just that we know that DS Fraser told you 270 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,200 she didn't have the resources to trace the emails 271 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,600 and that things would only change 272 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,640 if you were seen to be more at risk. 273 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,760 So? So I'm sure that you must have had patients in the past 274 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,800 that have genuinely needed help... 275 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,640 ..but have decided to exaggerate their symptoms... 276 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,480 so as they're taken more seriously. 277 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,520 You think that's what I'm doing. 278 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,840 You think that I'm exaggerating. 279 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,160 Well, no, I...I think that you feel scared and isolated 280 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,000 and like no-one's doing anything to stop this man. Because they're not. 281 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,840 For two years the police have done nothing. 282 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,520 This man's tormented me with emails and phone calls 283 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,080 and now he wants to kill me and still you won't help me. 284 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,200 But... 285 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,560 ..did he push you down the stairs? 286 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,920 Was there actually an attacker? 287 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,160 The truth is he's going to kill me. 288 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,000 I'm dead unless you help me 289 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,840 and you don't even believe I need help. 290 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,160 You must see 291 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,320 that we can't investigate a crime that hasn't happened. 292 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,720 He's going to kill me. 293 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,600 I get that she was desperate but that so wasn't the way to go. 294 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,120 You know we should charge her. Yeah, but she's got enough problems. 295 00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:39,800 We've got enough to charge Dutton with voyeurism. 296 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,920 With any luck they'll link him back to the original emails. 297 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,960 Not a total waste of time then. 298 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,680 What happened to the other one? Oh, Lowry, yeah. 299 00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:52,360 He got out. Solicitor managed to get the sexual assault charges dismissed. 300 00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:54,400 So he's back spreading the love. 301 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,800 I guess so. I can introduce you, if you like. I think I'll pass. 302 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,640 Actually, Matt, I need to get a copy of your report. 303 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,400 What, you want to check my homework?

They've got someone working on it. 344 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,320 Am I the only one who noticed the bloody great elephant in the room? 345 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,120 This guy Lowry was in Woodberry when these emails started. 346 00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:55,920 As far as I'm aware not even Cat C prisons 347 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,960 allow inmates online computers. 348 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,200 Why do you think we haven't charged him? 349 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,520 So who are the investigating officers? Brooks and Devlin. 350 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,560 And how certain are they that Lowry is our man? 351 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,720 Well, they let him go and a young woman got killed. They're certain. 352 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,480 Well, you're out on a limb here, James. 353 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,440 I'm not sure that I would take that risk in your place. 354 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,880 Call it gut instinct, George. 355 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,080 So what are you and your gut planning to do? 356 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,600 Send them to Rotherham to see if they can work out how he did it. 357 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,000 Our philosophy is to give them practical skills and a sense of pride 358 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,880 so they're able to play a part in society. Nice theory. 359 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,720 It's more than that. We have a fully-functioning car repair shop, 360 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,760 courses in joinery and metalwork 361 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,520 as well as further education and adult learning. 362 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,240 Not to forget the very particular jewel in our crown. 363 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,440 A professional online marketing company and training facility. 364 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,840 And Lowry would have had access to this? Good God no. 365 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,160 He was in for computer fraud. We're not completely insane. 366 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,960 Any prisoner applying goes through an exhaustive vetting procedure. 367 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,000 The competition's pretty fierce. 368 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,720 Then, once they're in, all Internet access is closely monitored. 369 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,840 No, Lowry was in one of the workshops. 370 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,960 There's no way he ever set foot in here. 371 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,520 The IT expert confirmed that the early emails originated from the prison's IP address 372 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,280 but she can't narrow it down to the marketing company 373 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,680 unless they agree to hand over their records. 374 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,840 So how was Lowry able to waltz in and out of this media place, 375 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,000 let alone spend hours online, without anyone noticing? 376 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,360 Lowry's cellmate, Keith Wilson, started on the training project 377 00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:38,600 a couple of months after Lowry got there. 378 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,760 We think he must have been helping him. 379 00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,720 Yeah, I know, it's all still supposition. 380 00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:50,840 We're going through Lowry's history but all we have that definitely links him to Stephanie is the 999 call. 381 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,320 Animal rescue. 382 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,720 I beg your pardon? In the two months before he was arrested for fraud 383 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,160 Lowry worked in a call centre raising money for an animal rescue organisation. 384 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,600 During that time Stephanie Blake set up a monthly direct debit to the same organisation. 385 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,200 Guess who signed her up as a donor? 386 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,240 So, they talked on the phone. 387 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,560 Stephanie used to be friendly, outgoing. Lowry liked what he heard. 388 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,600 Not just that. It means he had her bank details, address, mobile number. 389 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,640 The guy's a hacker. 390 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,200 And once he had those...he could find out anything about her. 391 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,840 Right down to what she bought with her supermarket clubcard points. 392 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,560 Don't you just love technology? 393 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,560 Like I told the police, I've never heard of this Stephanie Blake. 394 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,600 Why would I be emailing her? 395 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,640 We don't think you were. 396 00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:50,960 In fact...we're pretty sure it was your cellmate Russell Lowry. 397 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,000 But we think you helped him. 398 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,120 You got him into the media centre and gave him your pass code. 399 00:23:56,120 --> 00:24:00,400 No. No way. If I did something like that I'd be thrown off the programme. 400 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,440 That job's my ticket out of here. 401 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,200 I wouldn't risk it for Lowry. I didn't even like him. 402 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,560 Then what was it, Mr Wilson, bribery or blackmail? 403 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,240 Trouble is, if you say you're the only one who ever used that computer... 404 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,880 then that means you must have sent the emails for him. 405 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,440 You'll be charged with harassment and aiding and abetting murder. What? 406 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,520 You can't be serious? 407 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,080 Are you still convinced Lowry never touched your PC? 408 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,680 It was only meant to be the once. 409 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:40,280 Lowry helped Wilson put together the presentation that got him into the training programme. 410 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,320 So Wilson owed him a favour. Yeah. 411 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,560 Apparently Lowry told him he was into online dating. 412 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,600 That is one hell of a euphemism. 413 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,600 Didn't anyone notice he wasn't meant to be there? Oh, it gets better. 414 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,720 The guy running the project had a problem with his firewall. 415 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,240 Wilson suggested Lowry might be able to fix it. 416 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,400 Next thing you know, Lowry becomes unofficial IT support. 417 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,000 The governor turns a blind eye cos it's cheaper than a professional. 418 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,520 So Lowry comes and goes as he pleases. Mm-hm. 419 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,760 And he's got access to the entire prison computer system. 420 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,400 They're lucky all he did was send a few emails. As far as they know. 421 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,960 Who's defending this? Evelyn Wyndham. 422 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,760 Oh, God. Queen of the early dismissal. 423 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,800 The victim, in her state of panic, 424 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,040 is describing a man breaking in to her flat. 425 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,280 During the call she identifies the intruder as Giovanni. 426 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:31,640 And you want to introduce this as identification of the defendant Mr Lowry. 427 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,280 Yes. Miss Blake had previously been shown Mr Lowry's photograph 428 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,120 because the police believed he was the Giovanni who was stalking her. 429 00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:43,040 But she couldn't identify my client. She said she'd never seen him before. 430 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,120 The point is the police never told her the name of the man. 431 00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:49,880 As far as she was concerned he was Giovanni. Spurious speculation. 432 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,200 No, informed reasoning. She only knew Lowry as Giovanni 433 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,800 so when she used that name to identify her murderer 434 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,360 it's as if she was saying Russell Lowry is climbing in my window. 435 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,640 Was she shown photos of any other suspects? Only Russell Lowry. 436 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,760 She briefly looked at a photo then, in a state of high emotion, 437 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,840 she saw a man who may or may not have resembled that photo. 438 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,200 Therefore I maintain the prejudicial effect 439 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,600 outweighs the probative value of the evidence. Far from it. 440 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,640 The key phrase here is high emotion. 441 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,880 This is a classic example of res gestae. 442 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,000 Faced with imminent death there is no reason to suspect the victim was lying. 443 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,040 Except that she'd lied before. 444 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:29,280 A week before she died, she threw herself down the stairs 445 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,720 and told the police Giovanni did it. There is no conclusive evidence 446 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,640 that she fabricated the attack. 447 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,840 But the police concluded that no crime had been committed 448 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,000 which demonstrates that Miss Blake 449 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,360 cannot be considered a reliable witness. 450 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,760 All right. 451 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,520 My ruling is that the tape is admissible. 452 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,240 But defence should apply to adduce evidence of the victim's bad character. 453 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,720 Let's give the jury the full picture. 454 00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:01,120 So the tape's still in. It is but if Lowry's defence destroys Stephanie's credibility 455 00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:06,840 it's as good as worthless. What about the original contact through the call centre, the email harassment? 456 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,000 The emails aren't really the problem. 457 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,400 We can prove he was stalking her online 458 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,240 but we can't demonstrate a pattern of escalation leading to murder. 459 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,760 If the first attack had actually happened it would be different but, as it stands... 460 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,000 He walks? No, we'll get a conviction for cyberstalking. 461 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,040 But not for murder. 462 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,080 Really unlikely, guys. 463 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,800 They think she was lying on the tape? 464 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,800 Well, it's... It's more that the defence can say that the ID's unreliable. 465 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,280 It's difficult when there's no witness to cross-examine. 466 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,880 You mean because she's dead? 467 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,240 So because he killed her they can say what they like? 468 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,800 They can tell people that my daughter was a liar? 469 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,960 And that means her murderer will go free? 470 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,600 Well, he won't walk away from the stalking charge. 471 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,920 He destroyed her life. 472 00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:12,080 He made her afraid to step outside her own front door. 473 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,160 Then she came to you for help...and he killed her. 474 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,960 She never harmed anyone in her life. 475 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,440 My daughter was not a liar! 476 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,600 He knew that we were onto him. That's what started the escalation. 477 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,920 He wasn't controlling the game any more. 478 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,640 If we hadn't brought him in she'd still be alive. 479 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,040 You didn't have enough evidence to hold him. We were investigating the wrong crime. 480 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,360 If she hadn't faked her own attack - Are we sure that she did? 481 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:53,880 You can't change the facts. It's clear from that report that you were both in no doubt that she had lied. 482 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,040 That was then, this is now. Oh, no. Don't even think about it. 483 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,480 It wouldn't hurt if we went back over the evidence. And then what? 484 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,400 Decide you made a mistake? Let a guilty conscience to affect your memory? 485 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,960 You go down that route and you not only destroy your credibility, 486 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,000 you undermine the whole department. 487 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,360 If the alternative is to let Lowry walk - I don't want to hear it. 488 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,280 Don't forget it was your name on that report. 489 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,440 You stated, in no uncertain terms, that Stephanie Blake faked the attack. 490 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,280 You go back on that now and I promise you that's the end of your career. 491 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,120 I don't hear very well 492 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,320 and I always worry that it might be one of the girls 493 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,960 needing to get inside quickly. 494 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,320 Of course, yes. So you just...you buzz them in just in case. Yes. 495 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,840 Do you mind if I take a seat? Oh, no. Sit down, please do. 496 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,880 Thank you very much. Thank you. 497 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,480 So...what about the night that Stephanie Blake fell down the stairs? 498 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,320 Maybe someone rang the - Oh, I was asleep. 499 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,680 It was very late. Of course. I understand. 500 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,800 But what about earlier on in the evening, before you went to bed. 501 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,280 Maybe someone rang - Would you have a biscuit? 502 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,880 Oh, that's great. Thank you very much. 503 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,120 That's very kind. Yeah. As I was saying, 504 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,280 maybe...maybe someone rang the bell, 505 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,120 you couldn't quite hear, you thought it was one of the other girls? 506 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,160 No, I don't think so. 507 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,920 Oh. But there might have been someone. 508 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,200 Mm. 509 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,960 Oh, yeah. There might have been. 510 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,320 Well, that's good. 511 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,360 Thank you. 512 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,560 Very nice. Mm. Yeah. 513 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,280 OK, just let me be quite clear about this. 514 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,240 You decided to review your own investigation. 515 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,280 That's right. 516 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,920 And, based on new evidence, 517 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,800 you now believe Stephanie Blake was telling the truth about the attack. 518 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,680 Yes, I do. 519 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,840 Ronnie... 520 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,960 the defence saw the report for the original investigation. 521 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,800 They know you concluded that no crime was committed. I realise that. 522 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,520 Well, then you must also realise that doing this will undermine everything 523 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,640 that you and your colleagues have done in the past two months. 524 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,480 Our interpretation of the evidence was flawed 525 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,200 and, in light of subsequent events, I think - That's just my point. 526 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,600 You've got to see the implications. 527 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,120 If police officers rewrite history with the benefit of hindsight - 528 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,200 In order to get a conviction. Then what is to stop 529 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:32,240 every investigating officer with a shaky case from going back and amending their reports? 530 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,400 I can only look at the case in front of me 531 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,440 and in this particular case... 532 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,320 ..I believe we made a mistake. The defence won't take your word for it. 533 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,080 They won't have to. I know you want to put him away. 534 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,640 It's not about that. Come off it, Ronnie. James, it's not about that. 535 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,080 We interpreted the evidence based on what we thought we knew. 536 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,880 We jumped to conclusions...and we let her down. 537 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,120 Are you absolutely convinced you've got the evidence to back this up? 538 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,920 Yes, I am. 539 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,520 OK, I'll apply to amend the indictment. 540 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,920 We'll charge Lowry with attempted murder. 541 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,000 Thank you. Don't thank me yet. 542 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,200 Why is he doing this? Because he believes it's the right thing to do? 543 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,760 But does he believe that Stephanie was attacked? 544 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,360 That is not a question we need to ask. You reckon 545 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,040 If Ronnie's new evidence contradicts his earlier conclusion 546 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,600 we can re-establish Stephanie's credibility. 547 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,520 We just accept that he changed his mind? If he shows us the evidence... 548 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,440 then the rest is his business. 549 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:55,240 Stephanie Blake's landlady remembers letting someone into the building at around 7:30. 550 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,800 She wasn't able to hear what the person said on the intercom 551 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,560 because of her poor hearing so she assumed it was one of the tenants. 552 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,720 However, having spoken to all of the tenants 553 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,040 I now conclude that the unknown person must have been Stephanie's attacker. 554 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,320 And why didn't the landlady mention this in her original statement? 555 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,520 Well, she hadn't realised the connection between that event 556 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,480 and the attack so she didn't realise its importance. 557 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,640 The original police report also cited 558 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,120 the lack of forensic evidence at the scene. 559 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,560 Surely that must still be an issue. 560 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,960 Well, there was no forensic evidence at the murder scene either. 561 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,200 Nonetheless, Stephanie Blake was still dead. 562 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,000 The attacker was cleverer than we thought. 563 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,480 Thank you. 564 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,400 Miss Wyndham. 565 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,680 Well, my goodness. This is quite a turnaround. 566 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,960 As I said, new evidence came to light. 567 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,360 Yes, yes, which caused you to revise your conclusions. 568 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,920 And it's just good luck that revising those conclusions 569 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,360 has strengthened the prosecution's case against my client. 570 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,600 I'm sorry, was that a question? 571 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,360 Did you reopen the case before or after we'd applied to adduce evidence 572 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,400 for Miss Blake's bad character? 573 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,760 After. But I fully intended going back on the investigation since the murder. 574 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:24,160 Of course. And I'm sure my learned friends for the Crown were very encouraging. 575 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,480 Choose your words with care, Miss Wyndham. I intend to, my lord. 576 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,400 Far be it from me to accuse the opposing counsel of suborning perjury. 577 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,960 DS Brooks, it wasn't just lack of evidence 578 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,360 that made you think that Miss Blake had faked the attack, was it? 579 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,440 Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. 580 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:48,880 As I understand it, didn't her behaviour acknowledge the fact that she'd made the whole thing up? 581 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,560 No. Well, the CRIS report said it did. 582 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,040 When asked if there had been an attacker 583 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,600 Miss Blake burst into tears and failed to answer the questions. 584 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,960 Well, this was a young girl that was terrified 585 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,560 and we were accusing her rather than helping her. 586 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,400 When you say 'we', 587 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,000 do you mean your partner, DS Devlin? 588 00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:13,880 Yes. 589 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,440 And he agrees with your revised conclusion? 590 00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:21,760 As far as I know. 591 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,360 Well, does he agree or doesn't he? Yes or no? 592 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,240 Of course he does. She didn't stalk and kill herself, did she? 593 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,920 What the hell were you thinking? She asked my opinion and I gave it to her. 594 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,960 No, you gave his opinion. 595 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,440 You were an inch away from perjury and now you want to drag your partner down with you. 596 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,840 You could've warned me. I thought it was best to leave you out of it. 597 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,200 Until you decide to drop him in it. Look, given new evidence - 598 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,520 New evidence? Some old dear remembered she answered a buzzer. 599 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,480 It's pretty tenuous. Tenuous? That's the understatement of the year. 600 00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:59,240 I told you categorically to leave this alone. 601 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,480 I know. If it were up to me you'd be suspended by now. 602 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,280 But I've been advised that it would compromise the department 603 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,720 if we were seen to be covering up a possible case of negligence. 604 00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:13,320 So consider yourself on gardening leave until the end of the trial. 605 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,480 Thank you. 606 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,040 Ron. 607 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,760 Why didn't you say what you were doing? 608 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,720 There's no point both of us being on gardening leave. You live in a flat. 609 00:36:31,240 --> 00:36:35,760 So, what, it's OK for you to fall on your sword for the greater good, but not for me? 610 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,800 Matt, you're being overdramatic. 611 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,840 All I did was go back over the evidence. 612 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,960 That's not evidence. It's finding stuff that wasn't there. 613 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,960 What did you say to the old girl? It was her fault, it's a chance to put it right? 614 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,480 You know me better than that. Do I? We could have gone back together 615 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,040 and found something on Lowry but, you know, this is ridiculous. 616 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,160 We both look ridiculous. I'll tell you what's ridiculous. 617 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,680 A girl on a landing having a chat with a man who isn't even there, 618 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,760 tries to garrotte herself with her necklace and throws herself downstairs. 619 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,000 That's ridiculous. We both decided that she faked the attack. 620 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,040 You know that and I know that. 621 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,680 And now, thanks to you and your one-man crusade, 622 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,520 Lowry is going to walk. I don't think so. Well, I do. 623 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,720 And I've been called as a witness for the defence. 624 00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:22,560 And no matter how much I want to see Lowry go down... 625 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,440 I will not lie under oath, Ron. 626 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,840 Well, I wouldn't expect you to. 627 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,440 DS Devlin is standing by the original report. 628 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,960 Apparently. 629 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,160 I thought he agreed with DS Brooks. So did we. 630 00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:45,200 Right. So what now? 631 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,320 John Abbott, one of the hospital lawyers, 632 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,800 requested a copy of the police report after the first incident. 633 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,840 They were going to fire Blake if she'd made it all up. 634 00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:00,360 DS Devlin told me to leave it with him. 635 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,560 And? 636 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,360 They didn't fire her. 637 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,800 We're sure those were his exact words? 638 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:17,800 Abbott takes notes of everything. He basically gave me a transcript of the conversation. 639 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,160 OK. 640 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:21,800 Good. 641 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,560 James, are you sure about this? 642 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,640 I refer the court to Exhibit 8, 643 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,880 a printout of the original CRIS report. 644 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,760 Can you tell me what term you used 645 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,600 to describe the conclusion of the investigation? 646 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,320 No crime. 647 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,640 Would it be correct to say that if no crime was committed 648 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,400 then Stephanie Blake must have faked the attack? 649 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,400 That's one interpretation. I say it's the only interpretation so I ask you again. 650 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,720 When you filled out the report, was it your opinion that she faked the attack? 651 00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:20,760 Yes or no? 652 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,200 Yes. And you still stand by that report? 653 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,840 Yes, I do. 654 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,640 No further questions, my lord. 655 00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:39,280 DS Devlin, 656 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:44,800 after the original investigation were you satisfied with the conclusions in your report? 657 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,440 As far as I could be. So you saw no need to re-examine the evidence? 658 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,040 Not at the time, no. Whereas your partner, DS Brooks, 659 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:57,000 became concerned that mistakes may have been made during the course of the investigation 660 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,920 that may have led you to reach an incorrect conclusion. Is that right? 661 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,480 DS Brooks wanted to go back over the evidence to be sure we hadn't missed anything. 662 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,320 But you yourself, you weren't involved in this process? No. 663 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,760 You didn't reinterview the witnesses? No. 664 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,880 You didn't compare the original crime-scene report with that of the murder 665 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,800 and cross-reference for similarities? I was working on other cases. 666 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,920 So you'd moved on because you felt entirely confident that you'd reached the right result. 667 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,040 The case was officially closed. 668 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,200 And yet your partner, DS Brooks, 669 00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:37,080 an officer of considerably longer service 670 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,120 and more experience that yourself, 671 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,840 felt so concerned 672 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:46,520 that he took it upon himself to single-handedly reopen the investigation. 673 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,840 Is that correct? Yeah. 674 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,160 Yet you were still entirely confident. 675 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,720 DS Devlin, did your original investigation 676 00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:04,320 conclude that Stephanie Blake was being stalked 677 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,360 by someone using the name Giovanni? 678 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,160 Yes. And did you eventually conclude that Russell Lowry 679 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,800 and Giovanni were the same person? Yes, we did. 680 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:18,200 Did you conclude that Miss Blake was in lethal and immediate danger from her stalker? 681 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:24,000 Er, no, no, we... So at what point did you reach that conclusion? 682 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,160 When you saw Miss Blake lying dead of stab wounds and a broken neck? 683 00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:33,640 By that point I assume even you, entirely confident as you were, 684 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,960 must have realised you'd made a mistake. 685 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,120 During the initial investigation 686 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,040 we found no evidence that an attack had taken place. 687 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,720 As far as we could tell, at that point, no crime had been committed. 688 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:52,600 So, having concluded that, you decided that Stephanie Blake faced no serious threat from Russell Lowry. 689 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,640 That's right. 690 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,480 And yet... 691 00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,840 you told her employers that she faced a serious threat from Giovanni, 692 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,280 otherwise known as Russell Lowry... did you not? 693 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,160 Well... Well, yeah. Yeah, I did. 694 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,880 So did you lie? 695 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,720 I felt sorry for her. 696 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,240 I didn't think she should lose her job. 697 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,720 I'm sorry, DS Devlin, was that a yes, you lied?
