We’ve heard from the prosecution pathologist. She confirmed the defence pathologist largely agrees with her but I don’t think the defence pathologist has testified yet
No, but a list of agreed facts was read out at the end of the prosecution case.

Yeah it sounds like JMF is outwardly accepting the medical evidence. He could walk here. I think they were both involved, but I’m not sure they’ve made a strong enough case it was both of them

I guess the jury will need to decide if he allowed it. But I believe JV admitted today that the more extreme videos, he didnt show JMF? I'm struggling to keep track to be honest! However JMF was there with the cot incident and JV said he was the one who moved him off the bars. So he at least saw that.

Interesting that they pretty much split up (I mean physically not relationship wise) straight after Preston died and stayed in separate houses. Were they still together after the event? I think JMF barrister has done a decent job there.
She's made it sound like John was disgusted with Jamie and didn't speak to him and believed the baby drowned. Unfortunately the evidence says otherwise and he was aware what was happening and took part

JV re a photo taken of Preston in the paddling pool showing his genitals with a comment made re his pen -

“It was supposed to be funny. John often had a conversation with a colleague that the ladies are going to be very lucky when he’s older”

Thats bleeping rank & disgusting. 🤢
The sexualisation of babies and young children is foul, even the seemingly innocent "oh is that your baby's boyfriend/girlfriend" gives me the ick. This pair of bleeps are on another level though.

I dont have a child so this may be a daft question...
Is it normal for you to throw a dirty nappy out of the window? For your spouse to pick up?
I know this might sound a bit silly and I’ll be torn apart for it but I have a feeling that JV is abusive to lots of people around him - including JMF. I don’t know why but there’s been a few things that have come up, including this that are red flags. Not saying it’s an excuse for JMF or anything like that, I’ve just got the vibe

JMF was also there for the broken elbow incident, he said so and used the same lines as JV.

JMF didn’t accept the evidence in the police interviews did he? And also his coming home story is a lie too as he says Preston was sat up being sick and it was just ‘parental instinct’ that he needed to go to hospital. Evidence shows Preston was probably already dead when JMF got home. He knows exactly what went on.

I am still leaning towards JMF not giving evidence especially once he sees prosecution cross examination. His KC did a good job making all the questions about him not knowing anything. He won’t last 5 minutes under cross examination.

I agree. I fail to believe that JMF didn’t know at least some of what was going on but unfortunately I just don’t think the evidence is there to prove it.

As it stands right now, I don’t think JMF will get a guilty on the SA charge. I do think he will be found guilty on the other two charges.
I do believe that he didn’t know to what extent JV was abusing Preston, but I do think he knew enough, and didn’t do anything to stop things

A few thoughts. As someone already said, why tf were they repeatedly putting him down with a bottle when he had reflux? Could they not even be bothered to feed him? No wonder he had belly pains and was always being sick. Milk time is bonding time as well, why would you miss out on that? Also the “CPR”, I know some people freeze in the moment but honestly he was a teacher and safeguarding lead, he would know how to do CPR on a child. “I did it 3 or 4 times”, hardly an effort made then was it? “I put my finger in his throat to get the sick up”- tf did you! What a load of tit. Throwing the nappy out the window, sounds like this was their standard practice, was the reality of a baby having a poo so disgusting that it had to be immediately thrown out of their “show home”? We will have to trust in the jury to see through JMF as well, his barrister is doing a good job of pointing out all the times he wasn’t there, didn’t know what happened, hadn’t seen the videos/pictures, moved Preston off the cot bar. If they are still a couple that should count for something. I think he will get the cruelty conviction because they didn’t seek immediate help for the broken elbow but I’m not sure about the rest (I don’t believe him for a minute but the jury have to be sure beyond reasonable doubt).

JMF gives me Hindley vibes. He clearly knows there's a lot less that can be pinned on him and that JV is enough of an obvious piece of work that he can plead abuse. But I suspect he was well aware and more than likely an active participant.

I bloody hope he doesn't get off.

JMF has been charged with SA; there must be some evidence to support that charge even if we haven't heard it. I hope he doesn't get away with it.

JV knows what he’s doing. He’s saying that as if it’s a throw away comment but he’s trying to throw JMF under the bus with him.

Varley is finished, done for, cooked…. and that’s before Peter Wright gets stuck into him next week.

McGowan-Fazakerley, by way of the cross-examination of Varley from his KC, has well and truly thrown him under the bus.

Can you imagine if someone you worked with said something like that to you about their baby’s genitals? Even more so if you knew said baby had been adopted. The excitement and the fact it’s reported he said it often 🤢 His sperm was on that little boy’s cot. There’s just no way he isn’t as guilty as his beast boyfriend. He just didn’t deliver the final blow.

Completely agree - JV sounds like a complete nightmare and narcissist. The abusive texts he sent to JMF blaming him for his plane being delayed really stood out. I can imagine the people around him often felt the need to placate him and pander to his behaviour because they were afraid of the consequences and constantly walking on eggshells to avoid setting him off.

FYI - not excusing JMF in any of this

One thing that’s stood out to me reading back over the blog is that multiple hospital staff have commented that neither man had shoes on in the hospital. JMF in his interview said he grabbed his shoes on the way out. There’s no way he could have driven to the hospital barefoot.

So did he take his shoes off in the car before getting into the hospital?

Also JV is clearly very histrionic. Not just at the hospital but also in messages to friends saying he’s suicidal etc. He seems to need to be the centre of attention at all times.

What are these texts about the plane? I haven't seen those.
