....So as it turns out I was correct on two counts.
This was not a victim statement- they went above the judge's head to get their oar in! for that pesky Media 'they so hate'
The judge made sure they knew (whether they understood this or not beggars belief) That SHE was asking the questions!
She also reminded the Team that this is not a criminal or Libel trial - this was about their 'suffering due to Amarals book'
And what mother would say that although she felt bad about her 3 year old daughter being'abuducted' the book made it mush much worse..
So tell me.. really, how can words in a book be worse than having your 3 year old daughter 'abducted' by-'gypsies, theives, paedophiles to be raped and tortured then murdered'(?)
No seriously can you really imagine anything worse that that happening to your daughter?
Well, the judge heard for herself:
1. Kate did have something to make her pain worse.
2.Kate was not suffering from Depression (clinical or other wise).
