Constance Marten & Mark Gordon: The Judge

The Trial: The Southport Dance School

In this episode Caroline and Jack bring you the Judge, Mark Lucraft KC.

His job now, at the end of this trial, is to sum up this case, to remind the jury of the evidence they've heard. Today he reminded them what Constance Marten had told them as she spent several days in the witness box. He also referred to the evidence from the two pathologists who had told them Victoria's body was so decomposed they could not conclude how she died.

Warning: This podcast references court proceedings which detail the death and alleged abuse of a child in detail.

Follow the evidence as the jury hears it, in twice-weekly reports from broadcaster and journalist Caroline Cheetham, along with news reporter Jack Hardy.

They’ll take you into London's Old Bailey, bringing you the detail as the evidence unfolds, examining key moments and carrying out exclusive interviews with detectives, victims, and experts.
