    Constance Marten and Mark Gordon: The Judge
    Apr 24 2024
    In this episode Caroline and Jack bring you the Judge, Mark Lucraft KC. His job now, at the end of this trial, is to sum up this case, to remind the jury of the evidence they've heard. Today he reminded them what Constance Marten had told them as she spent several days in the witness box. He also referred to the evidence from the two pathologists who had told them Victoria's body was so decomposed they could not conclude how she died.

  • Constance Marten and Mark Gordon: ‘Are any of these things criminal?’

    Constance Marten and Mark Gordon: ‘Are any of these things criminal?’
    Apr 18 2024

    In this episode, Caroline and Jack bring you the closing speech of Constance Marten's barrister, Francis Fitzgibbon KC, as he urged jurors to acquit her of the killing of her baby, Victoria. He told the Old Bailey 'the evidence isn't there' to convict the aristocrat and her partner Mark Gordon over Victoria's death and accused the prosecution of describing the baby as 'it' which, he said, was 'jarring and dehumanising'. The episode will also feature his suggestion that jurors should ignore the 'nasty bit of class prejudice' used by the prosecution to 'smear' her.

Headliner case w/ mediocre reporting

I've listened from beginning to end, but the most recent (the verdict) episode was terribly disappointing. The recording was posted many hours after the verdict hit national news, and furthermore stated Letby had been on a "killing spree", which is undeniably incorrect. By true definition of her convictions, she is a "serial killer". There is absolutely a difference between the two types of killers. Had these podcast journalists listened to the news reported 1/2 a day before their "news" was publish here, they would have know this fact.
