Josh does need saving (or exposing) he told Moira and presumably the police that Matty came at him with a knife which is untrue, he also said on the phone that there had been a stabbing, not an accident. Then he told Jai to keep Matty away from him, suggesting that Matty had been the aggressor. Samson now has to decide whether to back up Josh or Matty. He pushed Samson hard to wards someone holding a knife, that was reckless, so there must be something he can be charged with

Ruby finding a conscience does not seem to have lasted long, as she is continuing with her plan against Kim.

Thinking about Josh a bit more, what he did might qualify as a "hate crime" as Matty is trans and that seemed to be the reason why Josh was picking on him.

Sam and the villagers, having known Matty for years, will be on his side and believe his version of events over a no-mark that has recently come on the scene.

Quite right everything he said was a total lie, the most obnoxious character to come into Emmerdale in ages. I think Samson will work that out and shop him, he was hellbent on causing trouble.

Yes definitely a "hate crime".

Sam did not seem very supportive or believing that Matty was not to blame. He is already threatening him with violence.

not if samson lies backs up josh

I am actually feeling for Amelia and the baby with Samson acting so teenage right now, trying to get respect from the bully. I do think that this was a hate crime. It broke my heart to hear Matty cry for his mother as he was being put into the police car, although I wondered why a married man was crying for his mother and not his wife, but I'm not sure Amy was sold.

This show seems obsessed with parents seeing their children in pain, hurt, or murdered. I hope that Samson speaks up, and of course, that he is okay.
