SealSong · 05/09/2016 19:16

I love Kirsty

Gruach · 05/09/2016 19:16

Kirsty for Ruler Of The World.Star

Endless BOOPS!

BoreOfWhabylon · 05/09/2016 19:17

Yay! Go Kirsty!!!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 05/09/2016 19:18

Agreed!

selsigfach · 05/09/2016 19:19

FFS Falon. What is wrong with them all? Just shut up, damn it.

Stickerrocks · 05/09/2016 19:19

Will Kirsty's outburst raise doubts in the jury's mind or simply confirm that view that they were ganging up on poor Rob. I do wish that Fallon had shut up so we could hear more of Henry. Shame he didn't mention his rabbit in our earshot.

EsmesBees · 05/09/2016 19:20

Oh I've always loved Kirsty (apart from that unfortunate Bridezilla phase)

Mootsie · 05/09/2016 19:27

Loved the round of applause.

Gruach · 05/09/2016 19:28

Damnably confusing hearing Ms Peake being addressed as "Max" on Front Row ...

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 05/09/2016 19:33

Kirsty is trending on Twitter!

selsigfach · 05/09/2016 19:41

Is that all were going to hear from Henry? It wasn't great from Helen's point of view. Yes he said he was scared but this was linked to "mummy being sad".

PrincessFiorimonde · 05/09/2016 19:42

I'm puzzled. Unless I misheard, it was said in court that the interview with Henry was recorded three days after the stabbing.

So why has Rob, as recently as last week, been droning on at Henry to 'tell the truth' so that 'Mummy can get better and nicer again'?

Is Henry likely to be interviewed again - or even cross-examined (surely not, at his age)? If so, why did they bother with the earlier interview?

swisschocolate · 05/09/2016 19:42

After 40 years I no longer really listen as it is too painful

The problem for me is that Helen is a character for which you can have no real empathy. She has always been selfish and bitchy. If you look back on what she has done over the years she is a very hard character to like.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 05/09/2016 19:48

swisschocolate, I agree with that, but nobody deserves to be treated like this.

Princess, in some of the pre-trial publicity it said that Henry's evidence would be -re-recorded, but that he would be cross-examined afterwards. I think they've skated right over that as it would have been next to impossible to script for a 5yo child. The children are recorded separately from the adults , so the Henry actor didn't know the questions he was answering, but that isn't a technique that would lend itself to cross-examination.

CeciledeVolanges · 05/09/2016 19:52

"he must know she ain't guilty"? When did Fallon start speaking like that?
Also "it ain't right, not letting her see her boy"

tomtherabbit · 05/09/2016 19:52

Also there were the interviews for the residency hearing which is after the trial.

I didn't think Henry's evidence was too bad for Helen - especially given her reaction and coupled with Kirsty.

Is that just wishful thinking?

Gherkinsmummy · 05/09/2016 19:52

Fallon has turned in Nancy from Oliver!

Gherkinsmummy · 05/09/2016 19:53

Into 😳

Stickerrocks · 05/09/2016 19:56
