Emmerdale SPOILERS 16TH - 20TH DECEMBER

That's just it. I don't believe he tried at all. He just wanted to give the illusion that he did to freak out Belle who would be afraid for his mental health and to hopefully get the court to see that he wasn't fit to stand trial. I hope the shrink sees right through his miserable self.

Of course he did not really want to do it... just pathetic that the doctors give him bandages when a plaster (band-aid) would have done...

Two more weeks of Tom. Only two more weeks of Tom. Tick tock. Tick tock. The fireworks this year will be a real celebration and it will start a new year for Belle.

Yes see what you mean now. just seen the spoilers that tells the outcome of the trial.

I guess we know the stories that we'll be having in 2028. I had guessed just that time frame, but in reality, it just postpones the future inevitable. I don't think there is any amount of rehab that could change the behavior for such a person.

a short sentence

a short sentence

I believe the maximum sentence is 5 years, got a few lawyers in the family who agreed on this, so while I wish he had got the maximum sentence, it is a fair one considering Belle suffered for a year when in other cases it goes on for a life time...
