He doesn't need to prove that Kelly is innocent. He just needs to persuade the jury that she might not be guilty

Yes, that's true. But similarly the job of Corey's team is to prove he might not be guilty. It is the job of the CPS to prove them both guilty.

Very true. What shocks me is that a young girl charged with murder doesn't appear to have legal aid.

I was, however, also shocked that even though they blocked the road, none of the vehicles in the street were parked with two wheels on the pavement as they would anywhere else

Dennis, Are you being sarcastic? Because isn't what you call the pavement, what we call the sidewalk in the US? Isn't it illegal to park like that?

A bit sarcastic. In the real world drivers park on the pavement rather than block the road. It is illegal but it's still common place.

It may be that the CPS will be trying to prove them both guilty. I am not sure if "joint enterprize" is still being used but if it is, it could well apply here. If I remember correctly we saw Kelly join in with Corey kicking Seb and laughing while she was doing so. The fact is that she is a slightly built young girl and Corey is much bigger and stronger, and also a footballer does not mean that Kelly could not have delivered a fatal blow. Personally I feel they should both be held responsible. Corey might have initiated the attack, but Kelly joined in the chase of her own free will, so by no stretch of the imagination could she be seen as total innocent.

What happened to the other two friends of Corey who attacked Nina, were they caught and have they been tried already?

The ambulance should have just shoved the Merc out of the way, if it got damaged, tough, its probably already parked too close to the corner legally anyway.

I was thinking that too

So often I have to walk my dogs on the road because the pavement is blocked by parked cars

[Son of Cain]

According to the Highway Code you should not park closer than 10 metres from a corner, but no one seems to bother with that now.

I hope Sarah brings all charges possible against Maria, she's always a self righteous hypocritical git. This storyline is being badly handled, I've lived in areas with far more traffic and this is utter rubbish
