Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[johntrevor]

After they went back to the house, she said, she did not think he had concussion, but that he should go to A&E to get checked out. He said he was fine, just cuts and bruises, and did not want to go. Charles was obsessing about who did it and that he thought Ethan knew and would not tell, Manpreet told him to stop browbeating Ethan. All very dramatic and to allow us to think this is what led to Ethan's death. But that remains to be seen. Funny if this is not what caused Ethan's death and Ruby confesses before this is discovered.

I think Nicky will suss out who did it, will he shop her or maybe tell Suni, and he will do it ?

ruby confessed to nicky she was feeling the guilt

Nicky will not be able to keep this secret ... however, if Ruby denies having confessed that she drove the car, will there be enough evidence on the car to prove that she did?

Because he held his head, I figured a clot went to his head and he had a stroke, but as you said, it would be ironic if he died of other causes and Ruby already confessed.

Honestly, I would believe it to be related to the accident regardless. Even if it were a congenital issue, such as a poorly functioning heart, if not for the trauma, I don't think the clot would have travelled.

But I like the idea of Ruby freaking out, even if I am having fun with the character.

The way Ruby has been presented to us, I cannot see her having any feelings of guilt. Fear of being caught, yes, but feelings of guilt, no. I am sure Caleb will had any damage repaired by now, or get rid of the car.

If Nicky speaks up, I don't know whether it will hold up in court, because it's hearsay. However, it might help forensics to know what to look for, and they could lookover her car for evidence, as well.

Something that the defendant has said to you is not hearsay.

I can only speak to US law, so it might be different there, but if heard outside of court where the person is under oath, it is inadmissible.

Is it different in the UK?

Yes. Hearsay is when one witness tries to repeat the words of another witness.

There are exemptions such as a dying declaration.
