FunTranscript
00:32Okay, so the prosecution will give their evidence first, call their witnesses, then it's our side, okay?
00:38Okay.
00:39We'll hear from Paddy and Dylan, and Simon Clark's agreed to testify too.
00:44That's good, isn't it?
00:45Very.
00:47We're in the same boat.
00:50He can back up what we're saying.
00:52Tell it firsthand.
00:54I won't have to speak, though. I still won't have to speak.
00:56Because I can't do that.
00:58No, definitely not.
01:00We've got enough strong witnesses, especially with Simo now.
01:03We don't need to put you under pressure.
01:05Yeah, because I'm no good with questions, like at the police station.
01:09I don't want to go through that again.
01:21Ready?
01:21Want to take some breakfast in the car?
01:30Okay, you've been through everything with the solicitor, but if you're feeling wobbly, it might not be too late for
01:36the video link.
01:38Not if I'm a witness for the prosecution.
01:40I need to face them. I have to be strong.
01:43Just take each question as it comes. Try not to overthink it.
01:46You don't understand. If the jury sees some sad little victim who was stupid enough to deal drugs, and they're
01:54never going to believe me, are they?
01:55Of course they will.
01:57But I could make it worse for them. That's why the prosecution want me. Because it'll trip them up.
02:05April.
02:06If they get sent to prison because of me, Dad, then if that happens, it won't be your fault, love.
02:13Think of everything you've been through since you met Ray. The drugs, the grooming.
02:21Meeting men in hotel rooms.
02:23Desperate to tell me, to ask for help what you couldn't because every time you got close, Ray would think
02:26of an even worse threat than before.
02:28Listen to me. This, this is your chance. To tell the truth. To explain to them jurors who won't have
02:35a clue. And I, I, I know it's painful, and sad, and, and really shocking, but after everything, this should
02:45be the easy part.
02:50Alright. See you in a bit.
02:52Chad sends a love.
02:53Aww.
02:54She's with Eve, trying to keep things normal.
02:56How's your dad?
02:58He's already at the court. He's with Zara.
03:00Oh, we've had some good news. The, er, the judge has accepted our request for a last minute witness.
03:04What, this Simo fella?
03:05Yeah.
03:06Yeah, Paddy managed to persuade him.
03:08Oh, well, that's brilliant. Been hopeful that he'll make up for Bear not speaking, won't it, if he tells it
03:12how it war?
03:14Oh.
03:15No, I'll get it.
03:15Oh.
03:21Um, I saw that you hadn't left.
03:24Yeah, actually, we really need to get going.
03:26Can I come? To the court? I really want to be there, but, er, I just wanted to check with
03:32you first.
03:33Laura, of course. Look, it's a free country.
03:36I, I know I didn't have to ask permission, but I messed up before. I'd hate to do that again.
03:42No, I appreciate that. I, I'm absolutely fine with you coming. As long as you are. You know, with the
03:50details.
03:52I need to hear it. See you there.
04:00Right.
04:02Yes.
04:02Come on.
04:12So, how's that, April?
04:14Well, putting way too much pressure on yourself.
04:17Poor kid. Called as a prosecution witness, it's just not fair.
04:50All rise.
04:57Members of the jury, we have three defendants before the court.
05:03Mr. Howlson is charged with the offence of murder.
05:08Mr. Dingle and Mr. Penders are each charged with perverting the course of justice.
05:13You must consider the case against them separately, even though the prosecution says the events are connected.
05:21The defence will claim that Mr. Howlson acted lawfully in self-defence, in the defence of others.
05:27We will demonstrate that this claim is untrue.
05:32Mr. Howlson killed Ray Walters in cold blood, as he admitted to the police.
05:36Mr. Dingle and Mr. Penders are claiming self-defence in order to exonerate his actions.
05:42Or else, why would Mr. Dingle and Mr. Penders remove the body from the scene, if Mr. Howlson had acted
05:47in lawful defence?
05:49If Mr. Howlson lived in fear of Ray Walters, why is there a bank account in his name with payments
05:54from the victim?
05:56I will prove to you that Mr. Howlson was not a forced labourer, but a willing part of Mr. Walters'
06:03criminal organisation.
06:05Ray Walters made Mr. Howlson utterly dependent, in every way.
06:12He controlled him totally.
06:15His actions, therefore, were wholly proportionate based on the extreme violence he'd seen Mr. Walters inflict.
06:22The defendant was in no doubt that Mr. Walters was about to kill him.
06:27And Mr. Dingle and Mr. Penders were caught up in this traumatic event, believing until that moment Mr. Howlson had
06:34been killed by Celia Daniels.
06:38It's no wonder they panicked, acted irrationally. The situation was beyond the realms of anything they had even encountered before.
06:52I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
06:58but the truth.
07:04How would you describe Mr. Howlson's state of mind?
07:08He was upset, agitated. I tried to get someone who could help, but he grabbed me by the chest.
07:18How long did this last before Mr. Howlson released you?
07:21Not long. I made some noise and he just kind of let go, like he came to his senses.
07:28Would you say you were unharmed?
07:30Yes.
07:31No bruises or compression marks?
07:34No.
07:35Was he standing behind you?
07:37Yes.
07:38A bear hug, in other words, if you'll excuse the pun.
07:42The exact same method of restraint the defendant used on Mr. Walters.
07:46So what? He didn't hurt Jacob, did he?
07:49No, but I think that's the point.
07:50We've just heard from one of the pathologists who prepared the reports on Mr. Walters' body.
07:55They found extensive contusions, multiple rib fractures, cardiac contusion.
08:03Would you agree you got off lightly?
08:06I can't really answer that.
08:09Did you know Mr. Howlson is a former professional wrestler?
08:13Yes, everybody does.
08:15A man whose job relies on him precisely knowing his own strength.
08:18So aptly demonstrated by the fact that despite his agitated state, the defendant released you.
08:23Your Honour?
08:24Whereas the pathologist states that excessive force was used for Mr. Walters' restraint and submission.
08:29Mr. Walters had stopped breathing long before he was released.
08:32Your Honour, this has already been established.
08:33Have you any further questions for the witness?
08:37No. Thank you, Mr. Sugden.
08:40Please call your next witness.
08:47We're on.
08:49Go on, April. You can do this.
08:52I swear, my almighty God, that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing
08:56but the truth.
09:01Tell us what happened on the 30th of December, 2025.
09:06Er...
09:07Did you go to Celia Daniels' farm?
09:09Bear.
09:09Yes.
09:10For what reason?
09:12To rescue Bear.
09:14Celia and Ray were leaving, so I had no other choice.
09:17And did you?
09:18You rescued him?
09:20No.
09:22He didn't trust the outside world.
09:24They'd got into his head.
09:25Was it just you and Mr. Houser?
09:28Yes.
09:28Was he restrained under lock and key?
09:30Well, not then, but he was usually locked up.
09:33In an attic.
09:34There was a key, but I didn't need it.
09:36Was there anything preventing him leaving?
09:39Only himself.
09:41Only himself?
09:42This man who the defence alleged was completely terrified of the threat Mr. Walters presented.
09:46You'd think he'd be desperate to flee.
09:48Did you attempt to persuade him?
09:49Well, of course I did, but...
09:51He neither wanted nor required rescuing.
09:53No, he did. You don't understand.
09:54No further questions.
10:12Can you describe how you found Mr. Houser?
10:16He was coming out of a barn with some chicken wire.
10:19He'd been mending something and he said he had to finish it before Ray and Celia got back.
10:23How did he seem to you?
10:25Not right.
10:27Not himself.
10:29Ray had got into his head, like I said.
10:31Got into his head. What do you mean by that?
10:34He changed how you thought and made it seem like your own family were out to hurt you
10:42and that he was the only person you could trust.
10:45How do you know that?
10:48Because he did it to me.
10:51Your Honour, the Crown submits this is irrelevant to the case.
10:53Of course it's relevant.
10:56Continue.
11:00I was groomed into doing anything that Ray wanted me to.
11:04And something would happen if I said no.
11:07Bad things.
11:09Threats.
11:10But then sometimes I did well.
11:13And he was nice, which was...
11:16Even more confusing.
11:18Were you ever scared of Mr. Walters?
11:21Yes.
11:22When?
11:23The day that I told my dad what had been happening to me.
11:27He tried to kill Dylan.
11:29To stop us from going to the police.
11:32Dylan, Mr. Penders.
11:34We know who you mean.
11:37He filmed everything live on his phone.
11:41Dylan opening the farm gate.
11:44Him driving his car towards him.
11:50I heard the sound of his body.
11:54Then what happened?
11:56I thought that he was dead.
11:58But luckily somebody found him.
12:00And took him to the hospital.
12:04Ray had injected him with heroin to make it look like an accident.
12:07Injected him with heroin?
12:09Yes.
12:09Didn't expect that, did you?
12:12So...
12:13Mr. Walters purposely hit Dylan with his car.
12:17Leaving him with injuries that very nearly killed him.
12:20In order to send a message to you and your family.
12:24If this is what he was capable of.
12:27Is it of any wonder Mr. Howson believed his life was at risk?
12:36Do you have any more witnesses?
12:38No, Your Honour, that is the case for the prosecution.
12:41You may call your first witness.
12:44I swear by Almighty God that the evidence I shall give should be the truth, the whole truth and nothing
12:49but the truth.
12:51Are you sure you want to stay?
12:54I have to.
12:57You encountered Mr. Walters outside the house.
13:01What was his reaction?
13:04Er, he dragged me inside.
13:07He was going to kill me.
13:09And then Paddy came down from upstairs and he had this hammer.
13:14And then Ray saw him.
13:16And he got him on the floor.
13:18He started kicking him and I was begging him to stop.
13:22And then that's when Bear came in.
13:24What did he do?
13:25Er, nothing. Nothing at first.
13:28He was just...
13:29Speaking.
13:30Telling Bear to go back outside.
13:33Erm, that Paddy never loved him.
13:36Erm, and that Ray was his only friend.
13:39And Bear would believe in it.
13:41You know, cos that's just what Ray does.
13:43And gets inside your head?
13:44Your Honour leading the witness.
13:46Yes.
13:48And then Bear saw Ray about to hit Paddy with a hammer and he wouldn't have it in any of
13:53it.
13:53Erm, so he pulled him away.
13:59Then what happened?
14:04Mr. Penders?
14:05Ray were just saying Ted.
14:08Ted! Ted!
14:09Ted!
14:11That's what Ray called Bear.
14:15They were fighting back.
14:17But Bear, Bear kept hold of him.
14:19Did you believe Mr. Howlson's life was in imminent danger?
14:23Yes.
14:24Could you or Mr. Dingo have helped by overpowering Mr. Walters?
14:29Er, no. I had, erm, I had a broken leg.
14:31Was there any other option available to Mr. Howlson in that moment?
14:36No. It was self-defence. He did what he had to do.
14:39Thank you, Mr. Penders.
14:41You okay?
14:44Mr. Penders.
14:45The one thing I'm struggling with is why you didn't call the police or the ambulance.
14:50Did the three of you have any discussions about that?
14:53Er, no. Bear was in a really bad way.
14:56What about you and Mr. Dingle?
14:59Er, Paddy wanted to, but I wouldn't let him.
15:02You didn't let him? Who was in charge here?
15:05No one. I mean, Paddy doesn't know the things I know and now you're gonna say that makes us guilty
15:10so it proves my point.
15:10So Mr. Dingle wanted to call the police, but you persuaded him against it?
15:16Yeah.
15:17And the thing is, when you come from the streets, calling the police is the last thing you do
15:21because as soon as they look you up on the system, you get started...
15:25you start getting treated like a criminal.
15:27If you're dealing drugs, then you are.
15:29I never killed anyone.
15:32I worked for Ray, but I was nothing like him.
15:36At the end of the day, I wanted to protect my family and do what's right.
15:39Right for who?
15:40Not Mr. Walters, who Mr. Dingle trust up in plastic.
15:43But Bear.
15:45Ray, we're gonna kill me and Paddy, alright?
15:47Bear saved our lives.
15:51And yeah, to be honest, we should have called someone,
15:54cos if we did, we wouldn't be here now.
15:55But we weren't thinking straight. None of us were.
16:03I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give
16:06shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
16:11You hadn't seen your father in months.
16:14What were your initial impressions?
16:16Er, he seemed thinner.
16:18Smaller.
16:19And it was immediately obvious that he was really traumatised.
16:23In what way?
16:24Er, he was upset about what he'd done.
16:27And he was confused about his relationship to Ray.
16:31Confused?
16:32Yeah, he seemed lost.
16:34Without Ray telling him what to do.
16:36He'd got him hooked on pain.
16:38Pills. That was clear.
16:39So his mind was rambling.
16:42It was just all over the place.
16:43So, Mr Walter's body was lying in your living room.
16:48What was your priority in that moment?
16:50Take care of me dad.
16:51Is that why you all moved Mr Walter's body?
16:56Yeah, we were just trying to get through it and...
17:01I was panicking and I was scared.
17:03Do you realise now that you should have called the police?
17:06Yeah, yeah, of course.
17:07I never meant to obstruct the law.
17:10It was just about my dad.
17:12He's the victim.
17:13The victim?
17:13Yeah.
17:15Ray took everything from him.
17:17Broke him.
17:20That's why I rented the house.
17:22Thank you, Mr Dingle.
17:27How long did you keep your father in this rented hidey hole?
17:30I don't know exactly.
17:32More than a week?
17:33Yeah.
17:34During which time, Mr Walter's body was discovered in the van where you'd put it.
17:38An innocent man, Jay Sharma, was questioned by the police.
17:41While you lied on multiple occasions to the investigation team
17:44that you had no idea where your father was.
17:47How do you explain that?
17:49Well, once I started, it didn't really feel like I had a choice.
17:51You could have told the truth.
17:53That your father acted in self-defence.
17:56Is that the truth, Mr Dingle?
17:58Yeah.
17:58Or did you know the force he used on Mr Walter's was disproportionate and excessive?
18:02Clearly designed to end his life.
18:04No.
18:05Is that why you cleared up the crime scene?
18:07So that only you and Mr Penders ever knew your father was there?
18:11I was in shock.
18:13We were all in shock.
18:15How did your father stay at this house end?
18:19Er...
18:19He left.
18:20Where did he go?
18:23Where did he go?
18:25Where did he go, Mr Dingle?
18:29Rain Celia's farm.
18:40Is Mandy okay?
18:41Yeah, yeah.
18:42She's just finding it all a bit too much.
18:46I didn't really believe that.
18:48Then I had some master plan.
18:49All we need to prove is that there was an imminent threat to life.
18:52If we can get that through...
18:53Members of the jury, the defence will now call an additional witness.
19:00Our secret weapon, with any luck.
19:02I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing
19:07but the truth.
19:08Mr Clark, do you recognise the defendant sitting there?
19:13Ted, yeah.
19:13Where do you know him from?
19:16The farm.
19:17The farm belonging to Celia Daniels and Ray Walters?
19:20Yeah.
19:21Did you ever see Mr Walters use violence?
19:25Yeah.
19:26He only had to cross him once and he battered you.
19:28Proper psycho.
19:29Was he violent to you?
19:31Yeah.
19:32I once asked him for my own room, because there was only one bed.
19:36The old man had it.
19:37Sorry, the old man.
19:39Do you mean Mr Halston?
19:41Yeah.
19:42So Ray flipped.
19:44Started kicking and shouting that I had no rights.
19:47Then I tried to escape.
19:50After he grassed us up,
19:52boss brought me arm and my ribs.
19:54Cheers, pal, for that.
19:57So, Mr Walters was unpredictable.
20:00He had a temper?
20:01Yeah.
20:02Were you scared of him?
20:04Yeah.
20:04Was Mr Halston scared of him?
20:07Ted.
20:08Do you think that's why he revealed your escape attempt?
20:10He knew there would be repercussions if he didn't.
20:14He weren't scared.
20:16He liked him.
20:18Always having little chats they were.
20:20He was the boss's favourite.
20:22Are you sure about that?
20:24How do you know?
20:25Because I seen all the treats boss gave him.
20:28Beers, sweets, socks when it was cold.
20:32Mr Clark, are you familiar with the term grooming?
20:36What?
20:38Thank you, Mr Clark.
20:39No further questions?
20:40But I'm not done yet.
20:41I've not even told you the half of it.
20:42Mr Clark, that's enough.
20:44Boss got Ted to bury the girl that died.
20:47And he got an hospital visit when he busted his arm.
20:49Stand down or I'll have to remove you.
20:51You asked me to come and tell you how it was.
20:53And I'm telling you, he weren't no victim.
21:02What flippin' heck was that?
21:04You said he'd been briefed.
21:06It's always the risk of a last minute witness.
21:08How's it going?
21:09Just finished.
21:10Timo screwed us up.
21:11Hang on, I thought he was on our side.
21:13Major grudge against me, Dad.
21:15He just undid the whole case.
21:16It's unfortunate, but not irredeemable.
21:19However, we may have to take the nuclear option.
21:23What?
21:23We put your dad on the stand.
21:26You can't. He's too vulnerable.
21:27You said wooden.
21:28He's not prepared or anything.
21:30Surely there is another option.
21:31If there was, I wouldn't be suggesting.
21:34Paddy, your call.
21:39I don't think we have a choice.
22:09And out of the rest.
22:14We're not keeping up.
22:15And he loved that 30-OWD.
