00:00 I'm appalled by that. She should be in the dock today to hear the victim impact statements
00:06 of her horrific crimes. Her cowardly behaviour in saying that she won't appear is frankly
00:12 just despicable and it shouldn't be allowed to happen.
00:17 So what would Labour do to change this and in what way?
00:21 Well we've been calling for a long time now for the law to be changed in this area. This
00:26 isn't the first time that this has happened. Jordan McSweeney, the man that murdered Zara
00:32 Alina, Thomas Cashman, the man that murdered Olivia Pratt-Corbell, neither of them were
00:39 in the dock to hear their sentencing and we've been clear that the law needs to change in
00:43 this area so that these cowardly defendants are forced into the dock.
