00:00It's quite straightforward. With respect, I don't think you're looking at this from the right point of view, Mrs. Skilbeck.
00:05But what other point of view can I take? Matt didn't kill him.
00:09Indeed, indeed, but the prosecution is going to present the judge and jury with all kinds of evidence.
00:14There are motives galore in this, Mrs. Skilbeck.
00:16What's that got to do with it?
00:17Oh, he...
00:18Nobody liked him. He was a troublemaker. He picked fights with virtually everybody in the village.
00:24I mean, Jack next door. He said it could just as easily have been him.
00:27It wasn't him, Mrs. Skilbeck. It was your husband.
00:30He's right, Dolly.
00:34How can you say he's right? You didn't do it.
00:39Well, how do you know it was deliberate?
00:41For all you know, he could have died of a heart attack.
00:45Mrs. Skilbeck, please, this is getting ridiculous.
00:49I would hardly have come this far if I hadn't read the pathologist's report.
00:53Yeah, all right, Dolly.
00:54Now, as things turn now, I'm afraid the situation doesn't look too promising.
01:02Matt, we're defending himself. Surely they'll understand that.
01:06It is evidence to suggest rather more than that, Mrs. Skilbeck.
01:09Now, what we must be aware of is refusing to accept any responsibility whatsoever for what's happened.
01:17You must understand, in a court of law, that's a very dangerous thing to do.
01:21I don't see why.
01:23Because the prosecution will have their arguments, and some of them are bound to be valid.
01:27If they weren't, Matt wouldn't have been arrested in the first place.
01:30Now, unless you're prepared to believe that, Mrs. Skilbeck, the judge and jury will.
01:34And it is their sympathy we want.
01:38Obviously, we have arguments on our side.
01:40They have arguments on theirs.
01:41What I'm trying to suggest is we try and reach some form of compromise.
01:46What sort of compromise?
01:48Well, I don't think the prosecution can be happy with the charge of murder, either.
01:52For them to make that stick, they've got to knock down every one of our arguments.
01:57That's why I think they might be open to negotiation.
02:00Well, what do you mean, then?
02:04I mean as a chance for a very lenient sentence, even a conditional one,
02:09if you were to plead guilty to manslaughter.
02:14Matt, no.
02:15No.
