maybe she had made it clear she wouldn't be a very good defence witness (maybe she is devastated at what her son has allegedly done and wouldn't say anything to support him). Can the prosecution call a witness but not the defence ?

How do we know if it’s true if it hasn’t been reported though?I think it’s just not being reported because it’s so awful
Yes it can often mean just parts of the rectal wall are visible/protruding from the mole, especially where constipation is involved. And as we all know it is not something he had ever suffered with and even JV isn’t inventing lies that he did. So then the kind of extreme constipation the docs says might cause that presentation can certainly be ruled out. Leaving only one other cause
As we are kind of talking about information that came out during the first trial, but since not seemed to have been reported again - does anyone remember reading about a video I think it was of Preston on the bed/ playmat with JV’s dog stood over him growling at him & Preston being scared? 
I am sure I read this somewhere before but haven’t seen it mentioned by anyone and now not sure if I am just imagining it! Though he did talk about the dog & Preston so maybe it was covered again but not reported this time.

I find him saying about the damage to samples during post mortem to be a bit of an odd take here. Is he suggesting it’s possible the home office forensic pathologist of over 30 years might have damaged samples taken from Preston then diagnosed it as anal injuries afterwards?
Surely she saw the damage before she took any samples at all. Or would know herself if it was a compromised sample. Or have I just watched too many silent witnesses.
I understand medical experts can have differing views but some his takes feel a little stretched to me.
I think I remember hearing that there was a photo of the dog asleep on Preston’s head which sounded awful. And another where the dog is trampling all over him and he’s upsetAs we are kind of talking about information that came out during the first trial, but since not seemed to have been reported again - does anyone remember reading about a video I think it was of Preston on the bed/ playmat with JV’s dog stood over him growling at him & Preston being scared?

Thread one has got link to original trials live updates
I am one that saw it mentioned elsewhere from discussions from the first trial, that had to be abandoned - all the reporting from the first time has dissapeared but I did manage to find this. Which I think sadly confirms what we have been thinking

There's lots of talk about the original trial? I don't understand? Have they been tried for this before? Sorry if im being thick
Quoting myself as I've just realised its because the first jury were dismissed. Sorry
JMF will do everything he can to avoid the SA conviction. Otherwise he will be on the sex offenders register when he is released. I’m hoping whole life tariff for JV but I don’t know what the maximum tariff for causing or allowing death of a child. It will be dictated by the sentencing guidelines and how the judge is able to apply them. So the prospect of JMF walking the streets again will be on his (and hopefully the jury’s) mind.
Seeing his pictures makes me feel so sad.
Same.
A happy, healthy, trusting little innocent.
It makes me feel sad - and very, very angry!
The max sentence is life and looking at the guidelines I think he would fall into Cat A culpability so hopefully a very high sentence
Causing or allowing a child to suffer serious physical harm/ Causing or allowing a child to die
