After the trial, the sentencing [31] 14:01

6M ago14:01

14:01

We've finally reached the end of the road: the sentencing hearing. Of course it doesn't go smoothly, having to be postponed once and then running out of time on the first afternoon. But at least this means it is over. The whole awful ordeal has reached its close. Or has it? Further information that is revealed in court makes us doubt it... Please b…

In this episode, after seven agonising months and nine agonising days, the trial finally comes to an end and the verdict is pronounced. The jury's decision will have a profound and on-going effect on the lives on everyone in my family, most especially Bea. What will their verdict be? And are we prepared to deal with it?

The trial: hoping to be believed [28] 11:41

8M ago11:41

11:41

It's the prosecution's turn to cross-examine the defendant, Mr Y. And also the moment when the evidence from the conspiracy to pervert the course of justice is presented to the jury. Surely the fact that this reveals Mr Y as an inveterate liar will sway things Bea's way? Please be aware this episode contains language of a sexual nature. Please be a…

The trial: struggling to make sense of it all [27] 8:46

8M ago8:46

8:46

As the trial trundles on, it's becoming harder and harder to understand the sequence of events, especially when the evidence in court is not heard in any particular order - and certainly not in the order things actually happened. Mr Y's decision not to say anything prior to coming to court means he can throw curveballs whenever he wants. The judge …

What lies is he going to tell in order to try to prove his innocence? Please be aware that this podcast mentions sexual assault, rape, eating disorders and mental health issues. There is occasional strong language …

First of all, apologies for the delay in uploading the latest episode - II was exhausted and had to pause for a few weeks before feeling able to continue. This latest episode covers the afternoon of day three of the trial, when the DC in charge of the case takes the stand. You'll have noticed by now how slowly the wheels of justice turn - it seems …

The trial: men's rules for a man's world [24] 6:02

9M ago6:02

The trial continues - day three now and, before we set off for the court, we get some extremely good news. However, once we arrive at the inhospitable building, our spirits soon flag once more. The defendant, Mr Y, seems to have done so many incriminating things - but how does the jury hold all this information in their heads? And we still have to …

The trial: he said, she said [23] 27:32

10M ago27:32

27:32

The second day of the trial continues with the evidence of the young woman who, having found Bea crying hysterically by the roadside, scooped her up and took her to safety. Nicky gets riled by the defence barrister's line of questioning - and we are still dumbfounded at the way the defence, unchallenged, is allowed to blacken Bea's name and her tes…

The trial: From bad to worse [22] 17:36

10M ago17:36

17:36

On the second day of the trial, all my optimism deserts me. The court is played Bea's VRI and her pre-recorded cross-examination, in which the defence sets out to annihilate her. It's bad enough when she's being victim-blamed for being drunk, but then it gets a whole lot worse.... Trigger warnings: this podcast deals with rape, sexual assault, anxi…

The trial: not saying 'no' means 'yes', right? [20] 17:04

10M ago17:04

17:04

The trial has begun and the jury has been sworn in. Now the judge addresses rape myths and stereotypes, and the issue of memory in the traumatised. So far so good. But then some CCTV footage is played that completely contradicts information we've received from the police about how the perpetrator, Mr Y, came across our daughter, Bea. And this isn't…

In this short episode, I update listeners on what's going on now. I haven't finished writing the sequel - Everyone is Talking About This: the true story of a rape trial - because I've been finding it too difficult.

In this final episode of 'Everyone is Talking About This: the true story of a rape case', we fight to get a new trial date after the first one is cancelled due to the defendant allegedly catching Covid.

In this episode, my family and I try to focus on Christmas rather than crime. But that's made difficult by continuing contradictory communications from the police.
