Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[Son of Cain]

yes he did not know what samson had said

Ratboy Josh said that he had been re-interviewed by the Police but he conformed Samson's new evidence............ even though he didn't know what it was

I got the impression that Josh was interviewed after Matty had been released, which would mean that the decision was made before Josh was seen by the police. Have all charges been dropped against Matty because as things stand he may still have deliberately stabbed Samson, even though it could have been in self defense? Did Matty know Josh pushed Samson, or did he think Samson was lunging at him? Was Matty always scheduled to be in court that day or was it because Samson changed his statement? In the real world it takes months if not years to get a court date. Where did this Josh suddenly came from, just conjured up for a bit of drama, does not seem to me to be a very realistic character?
