6.THE BRIEF Lack of Affect

excuse me um do you know where the tomato paste is oh sorry um tomato paste you know it is they just people that's once our products together except for fresh tomatoes obviously well thanks a lot for help although it's not particularly obvious unless it's impossible to eat and fresh foods with canned or bottled foods well I'm sure there's other customers needing you are you wanting to go away would you do just off the common [Music] maybe give no no come on don't avoid back to the ranch so messages for you miss this is dry right now you haven't seen have seen the Prime photos from the OP way Kate 75s Burgess is accused of killing his mother sorry sir woman's persecuting me about my hours build you were suppose to soften her up I tried miss Stein but she's - turnstile yes what I made a sterner I don't want to have to speak to her again okay I'm clear Oh sir something on your murder mr. Dallas has been trying to get a hold of him apparently your Mobile's switched off yeah that's what he thinks Meredith talents morning morning yeah it's the QC on my murder case total charm bypass do you know him we live in interesting times here you left these in the living room they got mixed up with my indecent exposure Oh Cheers lucky man any fun Paul she's my landlady get over it - landlady little chats in the kitchen pushing past each other to get to the bathroom sorry thought the door was locked yeah you ever thought you might be giving this a teeny bit too much thought start way at some point you'll have to answer our questions unless you want to spend the foreseeable future that's possible to understand you see Dan for your case to go to trial everyone needs to be comfortable that you understand the evidence against you do you know picture destroyed mr. tarses me otherwise you don't have to go through different sort of trial called a bit mr. plead hearing so maybe you could tell us your understanding of why we're here today Green Green the walls dislike a noise in my eyes a certain green stores rethinking [Music] better it's much quieter Thank You mr. farmer don't mention him now let's run over a few things the night your mom died I'll remember anything Millie at all what about earlier in the evening you're armed had dinner with you do you remember that Brady is 320 it has microplane tip they use lasers to grind them so it's all smooth so you don't get like drops of ink which is good because it means your writings very legible crown is bound to point out the remarkable convenience of mr. Otways memory lapse given the weight of forensic evidence against him shrinks in here all seem convinced it's genuine whatever the case I'd say unfit to plead won't play yeah IQs above average she's certainly mentally competent to stand trial let's get him to tox another matter so it would seem how much of that is due to Asperger's syndrome and how much has trauma over his modesty I should tell your farmer that I have a case coming up in the court of appeal which requires much of my time like tension so I want you to bone up on the shrink reports keep me absolutely up to speed yeah yeah I've been asking around about you farmer and it seems you'll need to be kept on a short leash through the implementation of the new fee structure I'm back from court sometime after 7:00 would you mind bearing with me to a sec sorry mr. Stein no can do no such well it has calmed rain I have a prior arrangement on the throat well rearrange if I'm prepared to stay late for the good of change well there's respect miss you don't have a family to think of anymore watch doesn't sorry about that mr. op way mr. Tallis isn't caught today I'm afraid sends his apologies did he say anything Dan when you saw him at the hospital a little please enough for us to think there's no point contesting his fitness to Fleet a trial though he's not up to that surely depending on the psychiatric reports there's a strong chance we could get your son's charge downgraded to manslaughter on the day that's as long as he decides to plead guilty obviously but still put him in prison the tariffs for manslaughter is considerably less than that for murder well I suppose anything's better than leave him to rot in that place he's not eating not sleeping why do neither am i it's just I know he did it I'm not that stupid but his mum Dan was everything to Bridget you know she used to do everything for him see everyone and Dan was he devoted to her in his way he doesn't show affectionate part of his condition put it this way he's 22 and Bridget and I hadn't spent so much as a night in hotel without him at the grouse season season and always very good here for God's sake where am I supposed to take you some minimal is sushi hell McDonald's after the zoo got a remedy of course I do it was Pizza the car stack of vomit for months well it's just the once I love the grouse do you know Meredith Tallis answer me don't bother about Salaria thank you very well well I think you'll find with merit of this very much follow my leader how's your new accommodation yeah perfectly comfortable is she pretty this colleague of yours you're sharing with us if it had been a chat you'd have to tell me his name Millie Welsh very pretty totally unattractive lat yeah I'm serious I know you dope this alderman Tabor there's really nothing going on this case that I'm a junior on the boy the defendant is best have killed his mom his dad was telling me that they've never spent a night apart made me think of all the nights I've been away from his AK not worth counting bunny well children can be surprisingly resilient although it helps to remember that [Music] will you be able to visit me in prison don't get rid of me that easily that joke not much of one that's called room and right until your case comes to court prison instead of hospital because I've decided there's nothing wrong with you I still don't remember oh you just got to tell me what you can will you be a witness no they won't be calling me I wasn't there was I I mean if I had been point is there plead guilty to manslaughter yeah doesn't matter what you remember he's done so bit later I can't plead guilty mr. farmer okay there's a lot of evidence that we need to try to understand for it gets discussed in court forensic evidence down which links you to your mum's death you plead guilty we don't have to worry about it that's good no plead guilty if I'm not guilty why would I want to kill mom look I know you enough to very much what happens in court wouldn't change that I don't realize tell him dad that I've never told lies I didn't kill her mr. farmer I'm not guilty pity's sake I don't think he's been to bat she says not guilty and if he's fit to plead he's fit to decide his own plea oh I'll speak to the author a solicitor about reassigning the brief to a junior in my chambers this is far from ideal with me tied up in the appeals court I'd assume this will be tidied away quickly I can handle it if Dan trusts me you could learn to do the same clear-rite for so sorry to hear about your marital troubles must be a terrible blur the prospect of desertion at your age although it's certainly not uncommon no sir yes what I'd do forgive me lovely surprise return of his [Music] [Music] [Music] hey I'm hungry service your coat on it's like an oven in here yeah just came in dance still not eating you know what he's like mom stop she's uh totally stressing out about being a witness you know I tried telling her I mean it's not like she's doing the actual prosecution you shouldn't have to worry Chrissy laughs did you want a coffee uh actually left MPT well I've got to get on my meeting someone from college suit right Oh your star haven't got an angel lift these for me to take away no finally had it Bridget stuff reminds me found this doesn't look like Bridget I thought one of you might have left it cheese on cook Graham you're missing that it's an towel down as soon as I get a day off or going to see him you in tonight the loot town take away of your choice can you afford it the black of who's lurking around chambers the other day it's habit one of those faces so what's your poison then curry pizza toy surprise me as long as it's spicy I don't like bland your honor we're at tee box Bali was it Dan's decision to move out of the family house dr. Lorenson your initial report said he was very attached to his mum he was Barry was certainly up for a bit more independence when the place came up at the halfway house he left to the Jones but once we repainted his room not fond of green so I learned when I was his dad in all this he paid with decorators it can be difficult for some parents to get behind a condition like Asperger's syndrome we don't always get an awful lot back it can seem like there aren't any feelings there but there are well unfortunately Asperger patients are bright enough to know just how different they are fight with Dan you know he's probably out of some of the local kids that's my brief yeah Kiera Ellen he was really rattled by it I had to prescribe an antidepressant for him so would you say Dan was depressed at the time his mother was killed he was taking Rex in for symptoms of depression yeah but look whatever it looks like mr. farmer dan feels plenty [Music] [Music] oh Henry I'm so sorry I completely forgot with Billy's taking out for dinner tonight they say well you looked a bit well I can't guarantee there'll be any leftovers it's a bit extravagant isn't it no loaves & Fishes lucky lotto finally didn't bump his name we've given up gambling know I'm supposed to given up losing money in gambling believe me three quid on scratch cards as practically methadone I'll be right down William Billy if we end up getting married I'm fighting for Emily and William on the invite I'll see you [Music] it would be fortnight I think he's a really calm it won't be as bad as losing mortal souls she'd be feasting on a secret admirer look I'm sorry Henry I'm chakra at the moment ask right great demand at the moment mr. Helliwell Bryce fells already turned me down for an aggravated assault how are can it be to get a junior these things it's nice to be first in your list anyway why don't you ask Millie she did her MPhil dissertation on autism I'm not the only one who read a CV when she joined a my [Music] autism you know all about it apparently yeah thought what you knew and I know you prefer working with Ben and you think I'm flaky and a bit spoiled don't think you're flaky Meredith wait what a delightful extravagant gesture the only flowers have received in last few years but never to be been accompanied by an apology your husband is clearly a very misguided what is it John the price of everything and the value of nothing no one D looks are drawn I dare say it's the light much softer in the Caprice I'll talk to my signature what bastards finagle little bastards morning I've been here quite a long time and they're gonna start a bit of a hitch then prosecution one to admit a new witness here Alan they're saying that you attacked her and the pattern of bruising was like the parousia found in your mum's body it's called similar facts they'll claim that it wasn't a coincidence that two different people caused such similar injuries don't worry the judge will never allow it Oh didn't they uh it wasn't fair said it wasn't fair she was the one who called the police but you got a police caution for attacking gear yeah you can awesome mom always had to call the place because that girl Kira and her friends says that we should check it out [Music] members of the jury Daniel Joshua Otway suffers from the pervasive developmental disorder known as Asperger syndrome in layman's terms he suffers from difficulties understanding the emotions and reactions of others if you like he lacks empathy it may be that his mother Bridget Otway angered will thwart adhere in some trivial way causing the self-centered aspect of his personality to come to the fore whatever the case Daniel Otway responded with terrible and fatal violence using such force that despite his condition he cannot have been ignorant of the outcome which was her death in other words he intended to kill her mrs. Otway was it usual when you had supper with your sister-in-law Bridget Otway for your nephew to dine separately oh yes quite usual sometimes dan would eat with us but not often Bridget preferred it if he did would you preferred it if he had that night I'll put it another way was there any argument between Bridget and Dan about him not having supper with you not an argument but a back and forth you know Bridget say it'd be nice if he wanted to eat with your auntie Chrissie and me that's all and what did Dan say to that yes he didn't want to and he wanted it on a tray upstairs dan disagreed with his mum disagreed yes but just the usual so this sort of disagreement was something you'd seen before yes but thank you mrs. Altmann okay don't think we can rely on the sympathy vote Dan psychiatrist you know you mentioned she was treating him for depression he was on medication what kind of medication Rex right see I thought Rex friend rang a bell SSRIs blah blah lucid disclaimer uh-huh side effects I take back everything I said about you you'd be in the wars or never fought in a war Oh someone pushed me I didn't see who people are very ignorant about Asperger syndrome the best thing to do is to try to blend in and look people in the eye but not too much don't go on about your special interests and be boring try and show an interest in the other person the Imam tell you that yeah it's remarkably difficult actually because I'm not particularly interested yeah no you mean do you yeah y'all had a gamble put it mildly sometimes everything else couldn't seem like background noise you have to tune in not tuning in a radio not a digital one exactly dan we need to ask you about some pills you were taking around the tummy mum died I wasn't taking any pills Rex Erin and that made me feel bad a lot of medicine doesn't work the way it should when I take it but you were taking them no I told you I don't tell lies I'll stop taking them off to a week dr. Lorenson said she renewed the prescription a few days before your mum died maybe you didn't want your mom to know you'd stop taking them she knew I had she agreed it was best for me to stop she was the one who was taking them what do you think Bridget was depressed you met done she didn't say she was depressed well she wouldn't Bridget was great at getting help for Dan not so good it couldn't help for herself she could seem or someone who didn't need anything anyone so yeah yeah get those tablets like that make sense he was all case you could say their returns and she made this room have been recognized when people are feeling should have liked more kids mr. Otway a small minority of people can react to rex rim by becoming suicidal or aggressive I know you think Richard suffocated to self dear no but the drugs could have made him more aggressive no I'd look I've told you however stressed out she was she would never take it out on Dan she might on someone else you know I had it in the neck sometimes that's what you mean she was only human look I suppose my wife was on a short fuse before she died yeah that's what I do I throw myself into work as they say yeah see don't well must have been hard to be at home sometimes I was having an affair miss morrow I believe you ought to be thanked for keeping my son off the streets oh yes of course your room I mean how do you do your honor for your sins I'm not at all he's perfectly adequate as a lab mate I mean delightful obviously like for grateful taking the rent helps I think it's strictly a business thing is opposed to oh yes why what's him you said [Music] dispose of that for me will you thank you he's only taking her out for dinner she's separated not about to take holy orders you woulda thought we should have learned a lesson as far as my learned friends concerned you know that her and talus were an item years back Friends Reunited sort of thing dog returning to its vomit more like this is hot way did your sister-in-law seem her usual self during your meal together then I she died yeah she did she didn't seem depressed Oh wouldn't say so bit tired maybe bit tired was Bridget not way aware that you were having an affair with her husband that was the nature of your relationship with gram op way wasn't it you have to speak up didn't mean it after Ted died my husband we just got twice room then we weren't proud of ourselves you kept your affair secret from your sister-in-law said it yes it's not way yes it's such a hard time of it but Dan I mean neither of us know it sounds stupid and yet when your nephew announced he was moving out to a sheltered accommodation he thought that Graham would finally be free to tell his wife that he wanted a separation isn't that right yes and did he tell her No so on the evening of Bridget always death after a few glasses of wine isn't it true that you decided to take matters into your own hands and tell her yourself would be a terrible breach of trust wouldn't it for Bridget to hear that her sister-in-law and her husband are being conducting a relationship for three years she reacted with more aggression than you'd anticipated she'd been taking Rexxar in twitch some people react with abnormally aggressive behavior you argue perhaps if you asked questions rather than made speeches mr. farmer and one question at a time would help this is Otway can you tell the court your reason for calling your daughter to come and collect you from Bridget Otways house the night she was killed I'd had a few drinks had a few drinks as you say we all know what that's like why didn't you call a taxi I often gives me a lift she didn't mind even though she was 10 miles away on the other side of town is that usual for her to come and collect you after one of your cozy evenings with Bridget how do you know fact it took quite exceptional circumstances for her to come and rescue you didn't it I just wanted to come this has got nothing to do with anything mr. Otway that jewelry made up their minds about Dan the moment they set eyes on him now I know Chrissy is upset but if we can raise one fraction of a doubt in their mind I've got moment ears outside you've got the beginning of a choice when you told them let's all just calm down you should have a bit of breathing space so weak you know I used to think great big uncle Graham you know even when dad was alive he was dad's big brother and here in the business and you always had the shiny new car he could have left Bridget though they were that unhappy I mean suited him to keep mum on a string and still look like mr. great guy great husband and that makes me sick relationships they seem to get more complicated as people get older and less straightforward anyway Dan's been a bit of prisoners me we're doing what we can sorry I just got that stuff in about Keira and a background to dance caution Oh upping your dose on that rehab and passing on my skills to the younger generation teaching Zach how to play poker read em and weep don't think I'm gonna be the one doing the cry dad a lot of pupils exceeding the master like you're slaughtering me here I met your dad today outside court he introduced himself oh whatever he said I'm sorry no he was charming he was very keen to see you settled down as it was it what can I say he's a judge all the awareness workshops in the world I'm not gonna get him to look at you and think highly trained advocate I bet you checked out your legs fairly obviously dad stop talking you've been hiding your light under a bushel County chess champion your dad said Middlesex under 12 and I was so impressed as well are you in or what yeah yeah I'm in just psyching you out green yeah they said I couldn't have one Hey they treating you okay sorry I haven't been in earlier had a nightmare at college and with PABs and I breaking up poking up what did I tell you the engagement Danny Boy mum's chuffed to bits of course since you kept going on about us being too young so is he not your boyfriend anymore no to be honest Danis or a different side of him when your mom died I mean he was completely cracked hmm unlike popes he was friendly you marry him men have to be gay so d hmm Detective Sergeant kits and when you arrived at the scene and found bridgett Otways body in the hallway where was the defendant Daniel Otway he was making himself a cup of tea yeah my 10:15 cup of tea one of my 1015 cup of tea he was keen to finish it before we took him to the police station yeah don't think of t15 appeal tells me this is your last show I'll be sure to make it count Damien pissing in the wind let's face it boy killed his mother we all know if you'd let us admit the similar fact evidence about a tackled Keira you know had this tied it away on day one defendants today though they positively conspire to event you getting in a good round of golf a tired stereotyped farmer if you'd bothered to can tell who's who you know my passion is fell walking and according to my mate lays in his chambers highly specialist internet science D s Kitson had you already decided that Dan odd way had killed his mother when you took forensic evidence from him that night no no we followed procedure really does that procedure include a directive to not take forensic evidence from any other parties at the scene such as Chrissy Otway no it does not well did you take any forensic evidence from mrs. op way no we didn't okay you've got to stop making out Chrissy's a murderer dan killed his mum simple as that I've tried telling myself otherwise but he did he's very sure that he didn't oh he's very sure on his big beans well of his bloody toast something terrible's gonna happen to him he's very sure that when he goes through three green lights in a row it's a disaster so it's easy to believe that he might have killed the one person in his life that he couldn't bear to be with her more than two hours forensic evidence is partial there were fibers found on your wife's clothes it didn't come from Dan and they didn't come from the carpet in the hall Chrissy had a motive her behavior was strange something happened between her and Bridget that night no I know her I just know her and you know Dan nobody knows him not really not even Bridget used to call him et when he was little did I tell you that because it was like he was visiting from another planet like that made us feel better I'm sorry dr. Rayburn your report states that Bridget Ottway died as a result of an obstruction to her breathing is it your professional opinion that she was strangled I can't give a definitive answer the typically strangulation produces a distinctive pattern of bruising around the neck either from pressure of hands placed around the neck or tightening of a ligature according to your report there was bruising on the neck yes but that appeared to be continuation of the bruising on her chest do you have any idea what caused this bruising it was consistent with someone applying great force to her neck and torso possibly from kneeling or sitting on it but possibly from squeezing with the arms rather than the hands the force on her neck would have been enough to stop her breathing [Music] this is just a drill everybody will turn to the core don't touch it just like that stop Oh God so much the program okay dad [Music] Daniel Henney what are you doing try and find a way and get the jury to look at Dan like a human being Damien similar factor what about it here Alan you want oh you can have it be my guest [Music] what do you think they're both lovely but touch of mutton no no just chic oh thanks MA oh honey I could trust you to be objective and discreet ma what shear women's things ray dr. Rayburn the crown has been at pains to refer to Bridget Otways assailant as male is there in fact any evidence to indicate the sex of the attacker no none the handprints visible on Bridget odd ways upper arms is it possible to tell if they belong to a man or a woman no the size rules out anyone taller than 180 centimeters or smaller than around 140 so they don't come from a child but that's all you can conclude that they come from an adult of medium size yes you note in your report that part of the pattern of bruising on the arm as this small more deeply imprinted area how do you explain this it came from a ring you can see to clear imprints if the assailant was kneeling as you say the ring was worn on her left hand his or her left hand where a wedding ring would be yes thank you who's that Kyra Alan I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time father we talked to grahame no no I don't know what I think was I said in there about wanting you to leave Bridget I was waiting for you to talk to her you know that you know me I thought I knew Dan yeah not being the best dad to him I understand it was me I'd do whatever it takes it's not right Graham but it hasn't been right from the start as it dan doesn't wear a ring miss Allen you say we're outside dan Otways house mucking about with your mates when he attacked you is that right yeah it's mucking about included putting dog mess through the letterbox didn't it know when she was questioned by the police about the alleged attack Bridget Otway said that you had that was a different time it wasn't me anyway it followed down at way home that day hadn't you my lord this hardly pertains to similar fact seeking to put the alleged attack into context milord were you and your mate setting off bangers just before Dan supposedly attacked you weren't hurting no one it just made a noise yes do you know what a pedophile is miss Alan see you loud to ask me that yes if someone who does stuff to children why did you and your mates called an odd way a pedophile did I he thinks it's funny do you know had he ever approached you approached spoken to you inappropriately no followed you no I touched you know so why did you call him a pedophile then I don't know cuz he looks like one thank you do you think you're doing you're not leading in this kiss if you find it in your absence I had my absence I expect you to conduct this cases I would conducted myself you saw that jury for the first time they were starting just starting to see Dan as a victim instead of a freak who wouldn't think twice about killing that's a small price to pay for admitting the similar fact or Kira's injuries I disagree he cared hears songs everything's done you away excluding any possibility of improvisation or rolling with the punches I'm here to continue this clearly I should have heeded your father's advice about you I should be advising the client that is absolutely vital to the success of this case that you withdraw he did who says he did I don't want him to be my barrister his eyes never look at me he doesn't like me he thinks I'll killed mum mr. aqueon damn every defense barrister has to consider the possible guilt of his client if he's going to protect him properly that way the prosecution can't spring any nasty surprises hmm I can see your point but prefer mr. Foreman I think you're a wanker the client wanted Tallis to go and me to stay what could I do avoided making an enemy of an eminent QC in the first place bit of a no-brainer what exactly can tell us Teeter but let's just say that however ruthlessly determined you are to have your day in court you shouldn't hit your star too closely to Henry's wagon am I being paranoid or does she totally hate me oh she hates you she hates everyone you know I'm going to be questioning you in court today oh no when you eat group of it makes your teeth feel strange like they're coated with wool or fur but it's actually something called oxalic acid which reacts with the enamel on your teeth so you shouldn't be worried Mia told me that right is there anything else you can remember about the night your mum died dad as the court needs to know the truth yeah don't remember you said oxalic acid is also present in spinach but I don't eat that you have to try to make your mind remember did you have rhubarb that night it's okay it's not the same as lying what is it someone has a huge nose you don't say you've got a huge nose because it might hurt their feelings and you shouldn't hurt their feelings we're studying dentistry that's why she goes to college you mean leaving something out in fact sometimes it's better than telling the truth I love told me that Dan can you tell us what you were doing on the night of the 14th of October I was mostly in my bedroom and mom called me downstairs at 10 past 8:00 to get my supper and I brought it upstairs and ate it it was later than usual because she was cooking for auntie Chrissie did you see your auntie Chrissie yeah did you see her when she left later on around 10 o'clock why was that why didn't you hear anything I had my knee defend his own mum got them for me when the kids started letting off two things that might be huge bangs introducing Exhibit one a pair of industrial ear defenders could you hit anything at all with those on Dan if someone had let off a 12 bore shotgun downstairs would you have heard it we don't have a gun in the house I meant with any kind of noise from downstairs however loud have reached you an argument saying no they're remarkably effective [Music] worse than hats hair rather become a solicitor of rotary lies first time I've seen you come into court yeah previous wants to give down a bit of support it seems to be holding up okay so far anyway at least I mean thank God he can't remember anything the bad stuff I mean well let's hope not but he's sent you don't think he's mine to be honest I think that Dan thinks he's protecting someone and he knows that memory not as a convenient symptom it's hardly surprising is it he's very attached to his family and your mum's family I'll see you in there wait having spent the night in your room and why did you then decide to go down the stairs it's 10:15 that's what I have my cup of tea it's the last cup of tea I have until 8:15 in the morning what did you see when you came downstairs sort of hall and things in the hall did you see any people in the hall gee who were they [Music] so mum was she alive yeah was she alone call remember forget things is that true Dan or is that trying not to hurt someone is there someone else there and ask you again was there someone else in the house who you saw yeah was it your auntie Chrissy mr. parmitt I'm giving you some leeway because of your clients difficulties but there has to be a limit it wasn't on secrecy [Music] so who was in the hall with your mom dan no one's going to believe you're not telling lies it was mere shouting that they were shouting and they were why haven't you mentioned seeing me here before dad I don't wanted to go to prison very sorry but I wanted to go to prison are you going to call me a robber we'll see what she says and it's looking at a godsend what did she say to you well she seemed very freaked out was I thought that don't go remember what happened at the house Henry MS but Mr Justice Reed tells me you've been letting fireworks off in court I supposed to be grateful a pair of the metaphorical kind it's little bit late in life it's not faintly embarrassing dad effect bigamy up to Lady Penelope what's that all about and then I find out you've been bad-mouthing me to that tosspot Tallis I'm uh certainly did not I told him that you were not his ideal June which is true since the man is incapable of accommodating anyone who has the faintest suspicion that was mine I had to try to warn you I've been proved right the man is insufferable always has been fair enough don't need you to sort out the love life she might be unaware they've got many estimable qualities she is mutual what's that chest I fall about it's not like you took any interest at the talking I most certainly did pointed fourth-dimension Henry your mother she put a stop to her hijinks she would have stopped to a lot of things she thought I'd upset you and that's how wisely I defer to her wishes which I'm someone to blame but please please do metal courtesy of not treating me like the villain in the bachelor mr. odd where are you now claiming you saw your cousin murder your mother I only saw Mamma Mia arguing I didn't like it I don't like it when there's arguments and what was this alleged argument about between your cousin and your mother I don't know just

ambulance I could see she wasn't breathing and she was dead there was no point taking her to the hospital and I knew she must have been killed so a crime had been committed so I called the police

it was like mom and everyone treated her with kid gloves as though Dan's this unbearable I don't know affliction or whatever like mom not telling her about the thing with uncle Graeme you knew about the affair yeah since it started practically did you think of Bridget as an obstacle in the way of your mum's happiness yes I did but I didn't want to kill her if that's what you're getting at sorry

so sorted and the households look so nice nothing wrong typical they've got the boy and were stuck with the girl hmm she was such a funny-looking little thing Mia till she smiled and Dan didn't and everything changed [Music] I'm sorry [Music] whatever happens krisiloff we should be facing this together no more pretending why did your mum ring you to collect her the night of the murder because she was upset but it wasn't like you said her having a go she never would Bridget had spent the whole evening going on about how she was planning a second honeymoon with uncle gram I mean she knew things hadn't been great between them so she thought she'd spring a surprise on him once Dan moved out prepare their marriage and mum didn't say boo couldn't believe it when she told me is that way you're under oath and you know the importance of your evidence what really happened next I just went back to the house I'd left my scarf there and Bridget came to the door I don't know I I come from mom in the car or crying and gutted about her and Grammy and there was auntie Bridget just so pent up and dry and I just told her you told her about the affair she went nuts I mean you think she must have suspected something but she just went apeshit she got hold of me she was shouting I pushed her off and I ran out the house so at some point you attacked her physically no not attacked just tried to stop her hitting me I see you were engaged at the time of your aunt's death when you yes it's an engagement you've subsequently terminated were you wearing your engagement ring that night probably I wore it all the time until we broke up so the imprints on Bridget's arm imprints that came from a ring that could have come from you I just grabbed her when she went for me okay just to stop her I didn't kill her I swear I couldn't kill any tell them Danny you've got to tell them what happened still kite me up don't worry me oh it's okay sit down will you please sit down this is a court of law damn damn damn way [Music] [Music] [Music] just trying to stop him you can see I wasn't trying to hurt him mom and dad used it only when I was little with it if I got upset the rap stopped me hurting other people or myself he was too strong you have to tell him mr. farmer I thought he couldn't have been me coz we want him alive it wasn't me no no you have to tell him it was me Bridget Okwe was the center of her son's universe perhaps under the influence of the recs are in she was taking secretly taking without any medical supervision she reacted with extreme aggression and distress to the news of a relationship between her husband and her sister-in-law her niece Mia fled the scene she'd incited leaving Dan with the terrifying sights and sounds of his mother his lifelong anchor of stability out of control lashing out just this once lashing out at him far from retaliating or using violence down responded by attempting the same restraint that Bridget had employed on him as a child when he was in distress with your permission blood this restraint known as the wrap is designed to comfort and to calm not to kill fortunately the combined force of his mother's resistance and Dan's panic turned this attempt at comfort into a fatal restraint [Music] you may think Daniel Otway is a freak you may find him unlikable but you have the luxury of piecing together the mosaic of emotions and responses which caused his mother's death in a way which she's totally incapable of unfortunately his Asperger syndrome won't prevent him from living with the consequences of his tragic misjudgment for the rest of his life just thought as long as he couldn't remember anything it was fine but if I hadn't told Bridget about you and uncle Graham I mean it's Danny's gonna be put away but it's my fault isn't it my fault his fault Dan's fault even her fault oh I don't know anymore I don't get it though where's the point in devoting your life to someone who can't give anything back would you've got a lot back one time you know that I meant Graham what did you get from him sex someone to shag you won't be 22 forever oh sorry it's okay Henry I presume I'm Billy pleased to meet you nice to meet you it's probably not big enough to dry yourself with Henry commiserations are an order I believe your medication go your way there I was basking in a sense of qualified success two years coulda been a lot worse an awful killing without intent my client thought we've got it right then I'm sorry again actually I'm sorry for that stuff the other day I had no idea I suppose she thought she was doing the right thing by you it's a weird things they'd have any kid Glenn taking Zack to Australia easy to convince yourself sometimes the way you want for yourself that's what's best for them I wouldn't know I never really got the chance Stella oh snow he doesn't know what they say meaning I suppose it melted a long time ago you've got a visitor well you came to see me last Thursday she tried to bring me some pains but they wouldn't let me have them she said shame because they think you won't use them to harm yourself or other people crayons aren't the same really but in 529 days I'll be able to write with anything I like that's a spirit I don't understand it really isn't that much time if I'm going to reorganize the library system they were using the Dewey Decimal System but I've persuaded them to convert to the Logan shawl system of classification which is considerably known you ever miss your mum [Music] well no I won't see her again and think about her yeah she smelled
