Constance Marten and Mark Gordon Case #3

[Emsie]

I am so much better now thank you!
And yes, me too. If I had no chance of getting them back I know I wouldn’t ever be able to function like a ‘normal’ person again.

I can't imagine what it would be like to have your children taken off you. However I can't imagine what it would be like to be a child and taken from the only only person you know (whether they are a crap parent or not, love is love) what I do know is it leaves a trail of trauma for those children who have to try and unpick and help those children live pro social lives, accepting their shit story that should have never happened to them and when you're dealing with it on a daily basis sympathy for birth parents is hard.
Especially when those birth parents have a family, love, money and all the privilege life can give them.

I can't see where the PP said she shouldn't be punshed by law.

She was silent on the point which is why I've asked.

 

[Barkin Mad]

I’m actually not sure, but there wasn’t ever a suggestion that she was premature.

Ahhh ok thanks, was just wondering as in the earlier threads when it was revealed that the placenta was found in the car along with passports that baby V could of come earlier than excepted so didn’t manage to flee the country

 

[nightshade]

Do you know something that wasn’t reported?

Not quite sure I get your point?

 

[thisisme20]

When are they due back in court?

 

[okdo2022]

"The court heard there had been a breakdown in the relationship between Gordon and his solicitors.

His current solicitor Kevin Light told the court he could no longer represent him."

 

[NoImSpartacus]

Do you think anywhere is going to cover the trial?

 

[Tangent Tiger]

Was there any drug involvement with them? Constance at least seemed to be well loved

 

[neroli]

He'll probably have a headache today..or a dodgy stomach.

Does this happen regularly with "reluctant" prisoners?

 

[neroli]

Just assuming that you'd need to be referred by a GP to CMHRS/NHS psychiatry.

 

[4FoxAche]

Is it being delayed a sign of their plea? Does a trial being set indicate they're likely to plead not guilty?

 

[InTheDollsHouse]

But they supposedly abandoned the buggy in London.

Yet they were seen with a buggy on 16/17 Feb! It doesn’t really make sense.

I’m trying to follow the argus live stream thing but it says I need to subscribe to read

 

[InTheDollsHouse]

The trial was due to start today. Not seen any reporting. I’m guessing they are doing jury selection

Delayed to 15th for some reason

Lewis Power KC - Church Court Chambers

He has a robust defence practice and juries love him....I'm sure his bank manager does too....He must be "formidable" in court of course.

Is Constance's dad paying for her barrister?

 

[thisisme20]

the handle looks wrong, looks like she has a handle in each hand rather than one bar

I realised this after I posted 🫣

 

[InTheDollsHouse]

Just assuming that you'd need to be referred by a GP to CMHRS/NHS psychiatry.

Yes but then once you’re under a consultant you stay under them, so she could (in theory) have been referred initially in 2014/2015 before she met MG and still be under the same consultant psych. You wouldn’t generally book yourself in to a private psychiatrist without a GP referral either I don’t think.

 

[InTheDollsHouse]

Could be wrong but it looks like this double buggy

I was just looking back because that was mentioned in the first thread. General feeling was that it was a single but not sure.

Constance Marten case - missing mum

An application for another 36 hours in detention for Constance Marten and Mark Gordon has been sought. The search for the baby continues and it's possible they have come to serious harm. That's it from the latest statement really.

[Kinderbelle]

Oh I didn't hear her saying anything.... Ill go back a few posts.

 

[InTheDollsHouse]

Could there be reporting restrictions on his other situation, so as not to influence the jury/outcome on the big one?

 

[Laughingforlife]

No judgement what’s so ever. My child is adopted and although I have sympathy for the birth mother & father, there is a ton of anger there some days.
You’re right. We are only human.

May I ask what the anger is about? I don't think I've ever heard this sentiment before and I've heard a lot about adoption. No judgement, just curious!
