I don’t know who Mr Vardon is for?
ETA He is Varley’s defence.
ETA He is Varley’s defence.
And then do the prosecution get a turn to really lay into him?He's JV's, so won't be going after JMF too aggressively.
I don’t think he’d mind being seen as a tit dad if it meant he wasn’t seen as a pdfHis testimony is just so odd, he’s obviously trying to downplay his involvement and pass the buck on to JV, but in doing so has made himself sound like an absolutely tit “father”
Working all the time, hardly home, no experience of looking after children, slower to bond with Preston, Preston would go to JV more than him,
downplays all the abuse photographs and videos and sees nothing wrong with a lot of them.
I would be saying why did he want to adopt but we know the answer to that, it’s the only answer that question because this man is incompetent AF raising a child so why would he want a child unless to abuse them
But that’s my point, we all know he’s involved in this but best case scenario for him is he’s seen as an absolutely tit “father”. His defence is literally he’s incompetent to the point that a baby in his care died. I’d be horrified if that was my best defence but he doesn’t seem mortified by itI don’t think he’d mind being seen as a tit dad if it meant he wasn’t seen as a pdf
Given what he is on trial for, I don't think he and mortification ever crossed paths.but he doesn’t seem mortified by it
I think at some point Preston had vomited (IRRC vomit was found in his lungs) - just happened a lot earlier than JV and JMF are sayingBut if the bedroom wasn't how described it puts massive holes in JMF's story of what he saw when he got home.
True. I don’t know, he’s just so unbothered, calm, cold and rehearsed in his answers.Given what he is on trial for, I don't think he and mortification ever crossed paths.
Yes I would think so, I’d be very surprised if they wrapped this up by Friday.Is the trial expected to carry on into next week? I want to go one day but not sure if I’ve left it too late now
I thought this. He appears to have added in that he saw JV scooping vomit out of Preston’s mouth too. As far as I’m aware, neither of them mentioned this until being on the stand as the prosecution made a point of that in JVs crossHas JMF always claimed he saw JV doing this CPR that seems to just be growing and growing in length, methods and ferocity?
It will 100% go into next week. JMF needs to be cross examined and he also may have more witnesses to call? Doubt it but he might. Both prosecution and defence have closing statements to make and then the judge has to do his summing up and direct the jury. I reckon the jury will be sent out by Thursday/Friday next week providing there are no legal issuesIs the trial expected to carry on into next week? I want to go one day but not sure if I’ve left it too late now
Vomiting can be a symptom of a perforated bowel apparently (the one Dr Crane couldn’t see in the picturesI think at some point Preston had vomited (IRRC vomit was found in his lungs) - just happened a lot earlier than JV and JMF are saying
