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.
