Sorry,what I meant was Zoe was defending Chrissie. 'Self-defence' wasn't the right choice of wording. Den was physically hurting Chrissie so Zoë’s actions were out of protection and therfore is in a far better position than Chrissie. However having said that all three of them are in it up to their necks.Originally Posted by Blondie
Sam for example with her comments 'me and Zoe will walk away' sounds rather dim. Like hell they will. After all it may not have been them who did the deed but they helped Chrissie dispose the body and continued to lie instead of doing the logical thing by going to the police. Sam acts like she likes Zoe and is protecting her but in fact she is being very selfish and two faced in not telling her - instead she is using the information she has to get the Vic back. Hardly noble eh? She also told a pub full of people that she was with Chrissie on the night of Den's so-called departure. Zoe and Sam are both accessories to murder. They don't have much of an argument.
The whole manslaughter, murder, self-defence does have it's similarities but it will be very difficult to prove which one it was. I can image them in the end just blaming each other. They only have each others word. Sam has peanuts on Chrissie. She saw what she did but can she prove it? I don't think she can. As for Chrissie, I don't think she will plead guilty. Chrissie strikes me as a survivor and I doubt that prison is her style. She has a conscience but right now it doesn't seem that she will let it get the better of her. She is stronger than than although she may well crack under pressure in court.
