W-hoo! That’s that settled then.
(Tell me there’s no right if appeal, please!!)
I too thought it ridiculously unlikely that the same judge heard this case. I know the previous case is highly relevant, but shouldn’t a judge just listen to the evidence presented to him in the current case rather than be influenced by what he knows from a previous case?
Interesting the judge said Rob wasn’t Henry’s father (hooray!!). Does that mean the parenting whatchamacallit he arranged is null and void?
Having listened to Friday’s episode twice now I still can’t quite believe my ears – the resolution of the family proceedings was one thing and Kirsty and Tom’s “moment” was quite another.
In respect of the family proceedings, this blog post says it all much better than I could:
It also neatly refers to the “atrocities” committed during the criminal trial.
And so does this blog post:
Perhaps the most surprising thing to me is that the writers had the guidance of a barrister from St Philip’s Chambers in Birmingham. I’ve met and been against barristers from St Philip’s Chambers – they’re a top set of chambers. Sounds to me like they had the advice and guidance and then completely ignored it.
Re: if Rob continues to call the baby Gideon even if his registered name is John, it would be more evidence of his pathological narcissism and more reason for the authorities to severely limit his contact with the child (which they’ve already done) or eliminate it all together.
If only Witherspoon. Susoect it may be sometime before the social work out how bad rob is and take any action.
Yay for the outcome! Even though it’s a shame it wasn’t done in the proper legal terms.
So now Pat and/or Tony has to spend 4 hours a week in the company of the daughter’s rapist supervising him spending time with their grandson. Sounds nasty. Would you not get an independent supervisor in these cases? So that Rob would have to go to e.g. social services premises to spend time with Jack? Perhaps that is not doable in the countryside.
