[From RTKangaMummy] I would be interested to know if they have made other documentaries but have not been allowed to put them on TV cos the family has pulled out at last minute or CPS or family or whoever have decided that they don't agree with the verdict. In other words, who has the final decision whether it is shown on TV? Can any of the people involved stop it happening?
[Rob] There are many things that could prevent a programme like this making it to broadcast: the defendant might change their plea to guilty and the trial is called off; they may decide that they no longer want to be involved with filming (despite consenting to be involved we can’t force people to carry on - it has to be what’s best for them); and of course you never know if a judge will make an order meaning we wouldn’t be able to broadcast because the programme could affect the course of justice. So to answer your question, a combination of several factors can effect whether it’s shown. If the case and trial process proceed and the contributor is happy with filming, and as long as we’ve abided by some strict legal protocols re what we can and can’t show, then it can be broadcast. But final decisions rest with Channel 5.
I would also like to know why Kenzey thought it was a good idea to make the programme? Was it cos she was convinced that they would both be found innocent? If she thought she didn't do it and Kyle didn't do it then who did she think did do it?
[Rob] As I mentioned to MarmiteMakesMeHappy, she felt it was her chance to tell her side of the story - and felt that she’d regret it if she’d not had her say.
[From 1happyhippie] I would like to know if Kenzey now admits that Kyle done it or does she still claim they are both innocent? If she does think they are innocent, what does she believe happened that night to her baby?
[Rob] Kenzey still maintains that she's innocent, and points to alternative medical theories as the cause for her child’s injuries (theories which argue that many “baby shaking” injuries are in fact the result of other physical ailments and complications). There are many other mothers, in similar situations to Kenzey, who also point to these alternative arguments.
