from DumTeeDum - A show about BBC Radio's 'The Archers'
A special edition this Thursday to mark Helen being formally arrested with a wounding charge. Roifield is in sole charge conducting three interviews.DTD have consulted Matthew Scott, a criminal barrister with 30 years of experience, a detailed blog and a keen legal mind who has joined the podcast at great cost. He wisely predicted a formal charge of attempted murder and explains some of the legal processes involved. Henry could well be a witness, but not in the witness box - usually by video link.CPS decide on the prosecution, if Rob chooses not to give evidence this would seriously weaken the prosecution case. http://barristerblogger.com/Paul Trueman's fund raising has continued apace at https://www.justgiving.com/helentitchener/? and has now reached £108k and is looking to raise £125k and gift aid will add hugely to this. More contributions welcomed. Paul has spent some time with the Refuge team in London and finding out how the money will be spent. There will also be merchandise: "Free the Blossom Hill One" T-shirts and tea towels are on the way. https://helenarcherrescuefund.impacttrading.co.uk/Witherspoon is not sure Helen should be regarded as fragile normally but is in a "compromised emotional state" following the trauma of the last two years. He feels that the absence of Helen from Henry's life will be more traumatic than any events he may have witnessed, particularly if Helen is incarcerated for years ahead. Rob will completely deny any responsibility for the incident and blame Helen entirely (and potentially he was defending Henry from his mad mother).Miss Mid City reckons that the village will be divided between the two sides. But there are no character witnesses for Helen as nearly everyone considers her to be unhinged. Pat could be called for the prosecution. It is starting to get interesting she concludes!Kosmo Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
