"Yeah." "That's your argument, yeah?" "Yeah." "I play footie." "So?" "So how come they're not throwing themselves all over me?" "Have you looked in the mirror lately?" "Has Wayne Rooney?" "I'm gonna get a bird like his, am I, because she's into football and I play for the dog and duck?" "They were childhood sweethearts." "Oh bollocks!" " I." " Won't tell you again!"

"No." "I think you do but I'll say it again." "And sorry about this ...But it's murder so..." "If you do not mention something you later rely on in court it could harm your defence." "Is this the boy last night?" "Yes." "He was with his girl." "In that case he's got nothing to worry about." "He was with his girl all night!" "He didn't do anything!" "Patrick." "You have the wrong boy!" "He hasn't done anything wrong!" "Get off of it!" "Where are they taking him?" "They're arresting him!" "Patrick!" "Can someone tell us what's going on?" "Patrick!" "Patrick!" "Patrick what's happening?" "Dad, what's going on?" "I know the same as you." "I know the same as you." "Did he say anything to you?" "No, he hasn't said anything to me."

"Now!" "What's going on?" "I've told you." "When we get home." "Does it involve johnjo?" "Yeah." "♪" "What do you thihk it is?" "♪" "Sit down." "You're scaring me now, Patrick." "You don't know the half of it mam." "Sit down." "Sit down!" "Tell them." "Shall I tell them?" "That stabbing in the pizza place, the lads who did it used my car." "How...?" "He gave them a lift in it." "I've seen him on the cctv, mum." "Oh my god." "They told me they were going for a pizza." "Oh, johnjo!" "Do you know I wish I could smack you," "Do you know I wish I could smack you, you little prick." "I thought we were going for a pizza!" "Kids at home?" "Yeah." "How are they?" "Over the moon." "Sorry." "We bumped into each other." "Two weeks ago." "What he didn't mention it?" "No." "Did he speak?" "No." "He said "hello"." "That was all." "That was all." "Hello was more than you deserved." "Can I ask you something?" "Yeah." "What is it?" "Did you have to turn him against me?" "I didn't." "You did." "I just told him the truth." "I just told him the truth." "The truth was always gonna make it worse." "How?" "You were leaving us." "How could it get any worse?" "You dying maybe." "No, not even you dying 'cause you dying brings in money, pension, insurance." "You leaving means we're skint." "You know what it is?" "Guilt." "You feel as guilty as sin." "Well, you've always felt as guilty as sin, ever since you left, but now this..." "Ever since you left, but now this this makes it ten times worse." "Well, sorry, nothing I can do for you." "My kids were traumatised, you see." "You couldn't possibly know how traumatised 'cause you were off swanning it with your fancy piece." "I was looking at it day in, day out So I made sure they knew that it wasn't my fault" "and youd've done the same." "And youd've done the same." "It's not guilt." "Well, it's not all guilt." "I used to imagine our reconciliation." "I'd meet him one day when he was older, knew more about men and women, and" "we'd go for a pint and I'd talk to him man to man, you know." "Brutal honesty," ""one life, one shot at happiness", all that stuff." "And after that he'd have some sort of grudging..." "Well, no not respect, no." "Grudging acceptance maybe." "And I'd build on that you know." "I'd build on it..." "But he's gone." "And so has the prospect of our reconciliation." "And that makes me so..." "That makes me so" "Don't you dare cry." "You don't have the right." "You cry and I'll..." "They... they can do an independent post mortem for defence purposes post mortem for defence purposes so you'll be able to bury him in the next few weeks." "Thanks." "Did you decide which coffin...?" "Yeah." "The white one." "That's rather more expensive." "It's okay." "If you were on benefits, we could..." "It has to be the white one because his friends want to write little messages on it." "I'll get the money." "I'll get the money." "It needs to be up front, you see." "It's hard to talk money at a time like this but..." "Honestly, it's okay!" "I'll be getting money off criminal injuries so I'll use that." "I don't think that'll come in time." " Could I..." " No!" "You gave us nothing when he was alive..." "I'm sorry about this." "You won't do it now he's dead." "Sorry." "♪" "♪" " Tomorrow?" " Yeah." "Why wait till tomorrow?" "Two reasons." "One, they'll call him a grass..." "What!" "They'll call him a grass." "A boy has been killed for god's sake!" "I know that." "Everyone should be a grass when a boy has..." " I." " Agree with you Been killed everyone should tell the police everything they know." "Tell the police everything they know." "That's what we'd want if..." "Not everyone sees it that way." "Not round here It had happened to us." "We'd want everyone to tell the truth." "We'd expect it." " I." " Agree with you!" "But there's loads round here who don't." "They don't." "Those mad bastards over there, they don't see it like that." "They'll burn us out 'cause he grassed them up." "And if they don't burn us out, the family of the lad who died will burn us out." "That's the reality!" "We're gonna need a bit of time to find somewhere else to live 'cause we're not gonna be able to live round here." "And we can't do anything till he's got a lawyer, a proper criminal lawyer, and you won't get one on a Sunday..." "He doesn't need one." "...So that means we wait till tomorrow..." "Of course he needs one!" "Of course he needs one!" "He's done nothing wrong." "All he's got to do is walk in there and tell the truth 'cause he's got nothing to fear from telling the truth..." ""Why wait?"" "That's what they'll say." ""Why didn't you come round right away, as soon as you knew?" "And why are you hiding behind a lawyer?" "If you've got nothing to hide, why the wait?" "Why the lawyer?"" "Where are you going?" "Toilet." "I can't believe you're acting like this." "Some poor boy's just been murdered and..." "I'm thinking of johnjo!" "...Some poor mother's off her head with grief and you're ducking and diving..." "♪" "♪ This is the debt I pay" "♪" "♪ Just for one riotous day" "♪" "♪ Years regret and grief" "♪ years regret and grief" "♪" "♪ Sorrow without relief" "♪" "Mister Hastings?" "Yes?" "I'm johnjo o'shea." "You came to our house, when you arrested our Patrick." "It was me who opened the door." "Right." "It was me." "Right." "It was me who drove the car." "They told me they were going for a pizza." "The other lads?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "And you believed them?" "Yeah." "In that case you've nothing to fear, son." "You just tell me everything you know and then you..." "I'm going to." "...Can go back home." "Okay?" "Okay." "How old are you?" "Seventeen." "Do you want your parents to sit in on this?" "No." "Johnjo at yours by any chance?" "Patrick o'shea, mrs Mac." "Is your Michael there by any chance?" "No, he didn't." "He didn't say anything." "Just disappeared." "And he never does that." "No, he's gone missing, mate, and we're getting a bit worried about him to tell you the truth." "It's okay, I'll hang on." "It's okay, I'll hang on." "No, I've tried his mobile." "He's not answering it..." "D.I. Hastings and D.C. Jane Pearson with John Joseph o'shea." "Interview begins at one eighteen P.M." "On the twentieth of June, two thousand and thirteen." "You remember I asked you if you wanted your parents in on this interview, johnjo, and you said no." "Do you remember that?" "Yeah." "Well, you can have a lawyer here, if you want." "That's your right too." "Do you understand that?" "That's your right too." "Do you understand that?" "Yeah." "Do you want a lawyer?" "No." "I've done nothing wrong." "I'm just telling the truth." "Do you want to answer that?" "No." "Johnjo, I'm fed up with you messing about." "I'm worried sick about you." "I'm worried sick about you." "Now phone me." "One of my brother's mates phoned and asked for a lift to the pizza place." "I said yeah and he came round with another mate and a lad called" "Kieran Gillespie..." "Wait in the car." "That's him." " Who?" " No one." "Yeah, no mushrooms on mine!" " Drive!" " What?" "Drive!" "What's happened?" "!" "What's happened?" "!" "Nearly there now, johnjo." "Just a few more things we need and then it's over." "Okay?" "Who were the other two lads?" "They didn't do anything wrong." "I understand that but we need to know their names, johnjo." "I don't mind grassing Kieran Gillespie up 'cause he did the stabbing but I'm not grassing on the other two no." "They're your mates?" "No." "No." "Your brother's mates?" "Yeah." "Them or your parents?" "My parents." "You said they were rowing, johnjo, your parents?" "Over you?" "Yeah." "Over whether to go to the police or not?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "That's bad news." "Your parents could go to prison for that, johnjo." "Not calling the police, that's perverting the course of justice and even if they only did it 'cause they love you, it's very, very serious." "Luckily you've come forward and as long as we get the whole truth from you we should be able to turn a blind eye to all that." "So its good, isn't it?" "I've already told you..." "I've already told you..." "I'm not grassing on the other two." "Kieran Gillespie, yeah." "The other two, no." "Okay." "You left the engine running?" "Yeah." "Why?" "It was cold." " D.I." " For a quick getaway?" "No." "Should we go looking for him," "Should we go looking for him, drive round a bit?" "Where would we look?" "I don't know." "And what if he comes back while we're out?" "I can't just sit around here." "Oh, Pete!" "What's happened to him?" "I've a warrant to search the house, mrs o'shea." "What?" "!" "We need to search the house." "You've not come about johnjo?" "We've spoken to johnjo and, acting..." "We've spoken to johnjo and, acting..." "You've spoken to him?" "...On information he gave us, we obtained a warrant to search the house." "Where is he?" "Down the station." "Do you mind if we come in?" " I." " Don't understand." " D.I." " I'll explain inside..." "What's going on?" "They're searching the house..." "We'd like you to stay in this room, and PC Matthews will stay with you." "We'd like you to try to sit and relax and, certainly, don't remove anything from the room." "If you need to use the bathroom" "How did you talk to johnjo?" "He came into the station and made a full statement." "He made a full statement?" "Yes." "If he's made a full statement you'll know he's done nothing." "You'll know he's done nothing." "If you need to use the bathroom, a police officer will have to go with you, I'm afraid." "We'll almost certainly have to take stuff away with us and should that happen, we'll photograph it in situ..." "Can I see my son please?" "...We'll get you to witness it and we'll give you a receipt." "Can I see my son please?" "I'll organise that as soon as I can." "My daughter's upstairs!" "Will you get her down please?" "Karen!" "We'll need the clothes johnjo was wearing that night." "Karen, get down here." "What's going on?" "They'll be in the basket." "He's wearing the jeans." "Socks, undies and vest are in the basket." "Mom?" "Mom?" "Get down here." "What's going on?" "They're searching the house." "Get in here." "For god's sake!" "♪" "We're better than that." "C'mon." "C'mon." "Auntie shelagh..." "Auntie shelagh..." "Is it true?" "Is what true?" "The police searched your house." "Yeah." "Does she know?" "No." "What were they looking for?" "Evidence." "About what?" "If you don't tell her, I will." "What?" "What is it?" "What is it?" "That stabbing in the pizza place." "Yeah?" "Johnjo drove them." "It was Kieran Gillespie." "How do you know?" "How do you know that?" "I was with him." "You used him, didn't you?" "Our johnjo." "No, mate." "You did." "You know the kind of lad he is." "You know he thinks the sun shines out your arse, he's never gonna say no to you." "No, mate." "We tried you first but your phone was off..." "I'm sorry, mum." "They won't let me go." "It's only one night, johnjo." "Just one night." "And tomorrow we go to court." "We tell them you've done nothing." "We get you out and we bring you home." "Right." "I promise." "I promise." "We ask for bail on three counts, ma'am." "One, he is seventeen years of age." "Two, he is a young man of impeccable character, no previous convictions whatsoever." "Three, he walked into the police station on his own accord and gave a full and frank statement and that is the only reason he stands before you today." "And that is the only reason he stands before you today." "Yes?" "We oppose bail, ma'am, because of the serious nature of the charge." "Bail refused." "You are remanded in custody to reappear here in two weeks time." "Take him down." "♪" "Excuse me." "Excuse me, please!" "Yes?" "Are you okay, mister o'shea?" "Are you okay, mister o'shea?" "He's a haemophiliac." "Oh..." "I'll make sure he's looked after, don't worry." "Take him down please." "♪" "Four thousand, six hundred?" "Yes." "I don't have any recent experience but isn't it a lot for a funeral?" "But isn't it a lot for a funeral?" "It's a bit more than average, yes." "Well, you've had an overdraft for quite some time and your mortgage is still in arrears." "So you've obviously struggled and unless your circumstances have radically improved, then I just don't think it wise to take on any more debt." "I'm sorry." "But they have improved." "Radically improved." "How?" "How?" "I've one less mouth to feed." "I'm sorry for that as well." "And I'm sorry to have bothered you." "And now the three of you walking purposefully from the car to the pizza place." "That's you there, Kieran, yeah?" "No comment." "You say you've gone in for a pizza." "That could be twenty minutes." "Why leave the engine running?" "No comment." "No comment." "And now you're out again." "Panicking." "You'd call that "panicking", wouldn't you, Colin?" "And there..." "You're shouting at Kieran Gillespie." "Why are you shouting at him?" "No comment." "♪" "Hiya." "Alright." "I was just passing so I thought I'd give you a lift." "Where?" "I.D. Parade." "♪" "Why are you stopping here?" "His mother lives here." "Whose?" "The boy who got stabbed." "She's got something to say to you." "Hi, Margaret." "Margaret ward, this is Hugo Davies." " Hello." " Hello." "He manages the pizza place." "Oh!" "I wanted to thank you, Hugo." "Thank you for phoning the ambulance so promptly, for giving my son his best chance of survival." "For giving my son his best chance of survival." "It wasn't meant to be but..." "Thank you." "I'll phone you tonight." "♪" "We think one of the three men who entered your shop on the night of the murder is in this line up." "Your shop on the night of the murder is in this line up." "Can you see if you recognise anyone please?" "No." "You're sure?" "Yeah." "Oh well." "One more." "Again see if you recognise anyone please." "No." "Do you want to see them again?" "No." "You were very quick, you see." "I've been a copper now for thirty three years and I've never seen anyone as quick." "It was as if you didn't want to recognise anyone." "Sorry." "You will be, son." "You will be, son." "You didn't even recognise Tony Wallace?" "Who's Tony Wallace?" "You don't know Tony Wallace?" "No." "We checked the calls made to and from your shop." "You phoned him fifteen minutes before the murder." "He phoned you immediately after it." "I'd like a lawyer please." "Yeah..." "There's very little I can do for my son." "There's very little I can do for my son but I can give him a good send off, a good funeral." "I'm getting five thousand pounds anyway." "I don't want it but I'm getting it." "So give me it now and I'll bury him with it." "We'll speed things up as much as possible, mrs ward, but..." "I can't promise payment before the funeral." "Then how do I bury my son?" "And what are you charging my client with?" " Murder." " What!" "?" "!" "Joint enterprise murder." "That's ridiculous." "Isn't it?" "No." "Acid indigestion." "It's taking the enamel off my teeth." "God knows what it's doing to my stomach." "In the old days we'd work hard to establish who it was who used the knife." "He'd get done for murder and the other scumbags would go free." "Would go free." "All that effort, I used to think, just so scumbags could go free." "Well, now its all changed." "We don't have to prove who used the knife anymore 'cause you all get done for murder." "If you were there, egging him on, backing him up, helping in any way, a phone call, a "knowing look" even, you get done for murder." "You get done for murder." "It's called joint enterprise, Hugo." "And I love it." "Yes." "Is there anything we can help you with, detective inspector?" "Yes." "He could make a full statement, name names." "And agree to give evidence if necessary." "And in return?" "He goes free." "He goes free." "I was on my own." "It dies off about eight, you see, and picks up again about ten..." "Hello, Hugo Davies here, Tony." "Are you still looking for that gobshite, albie Flanagan?" "He's just phoned for three specials." "Yeah, spot on." "Be down soon." "Okay, mate." "I go the match." "I see linesmen." "I see linesmen." "They're unsure whether a man's offside or not but they put the flag up." "Nine times out of ten they put the flag up." "Because they want to be seen to matter." "And you're seen to matter when you do something, not when you don't." "I think that's why I made that call:" "I wanted to be seen to matter." "Alright, Hugo." "Alright, albie." "How's it going?" "Alright, albie." "How's it going?" "Sound..." "How long you been here?" "Few months." " Any good?" " Its not bad." "Touch her again and I'll kill you." "Right?" "Not in here." "Right?" "Outside!" "You go near her again and I..." "Outside, Tony." "Tony!" "Tony!" "This is totally out of order, this." "Totally out of order, Tony..." "You're going to bring the coppers around into my bleeding shop, and that's not right Tony!" "I'm telling you and go knocking the shit out of" " you, right?" " C'mon mate, take him outside!" "What are you looking at?" "Nothing..." "You think I'm shit?" "Enough." "Right?" "Get the fuck outside Tony, this is bang out of order." "Get the fuck outside Tony, this is bang out of order." "I understand!" "I said, "d'you think I'm shit?"?" "No..." "He's stabbed him." "He's stabbed him." "The mad bastard's stabbed him..." "Jesus Kieran!" "What have you done you..." "You mad bastard, you stupid mad bastard." "Somebody's been stabbed..." "I don't know what I'm doing here mate, superbo pizza, it's on the corner, superbo pizza!" "Fucking hell, the bastards got off without him." "No, holt rd, h-o-l-t, holt rd..." "They all got off and left me to it, the pricks." "Even Colin McCabe." ""Even Colin McCabe"?" "Yeah, he's a nurse." " Hello." " It's me." "How are you?" "Fine." "What is it?" "I can't get the money to bury him." "Can I give you it?" "Yeah." "How much?" "Four thousand, six hundred." "And maybe two hundred for the buffet." "Four eight." "And maybe two hundred for the buffet." "Four eight." "I'll bring round with five grand tomorrow." "Four eight." "Four eight." "Thanks." "I'm sorry for treating you so badly." "I'm sorry for lying..." "I just want the money, Tommy." "Right." "♪ One morn I left him in his bed" "♪" "♪ A moment after some one said" "He's here, mum!" "♪ 'Your child is dying" "♪ he is dead.'" "♪ he is dead.'" "♪" "♪ We made him ready for his rest," "♪" "♪ Flowers in his hair, and on his breast" "♪" "♪ His little hands together prest."

"Holy Mary, mother of god, pray for us sinners, now" "♪" "You're not into that either?" "♪" "♪" "♪" "We've been lucky." "We've got a good judge." "I'm going to ask him to view it as a straightforward murder case, one killer, one victim, not joint enterprise." "And if he agrees to that?" "If he agrees to that, then johnjo's coming home with you." "No doubt whatsoever." "Kieran Gillespie, you are accused of the murder of Thomas James ward." "How do you plead?" "How do you plead?" "Not guilty." "Colin McCabe, you are accused of the murder of Thomas James ward." "How do you plead?" "Not guilty." "Anthony Wallace, you are accused of the murder of Thomas James ward." "How do you plead?" "Not guilty." "John Joseph o'shea, you are accused of the murder of Thomas James ward." "How do you plead?" "Not guilty." "Be seated." "I'll hear submissions." "We'll break and I'll respond after lunch." "Who'll go first?" "Mister Barnes-Williams?" "I represent John Joseph o'shea and I make four main points, your honour." "First, four young men stand accused of murder." "Only one of them wielded the knife and yet the prosecution will make no attempt to identify that man." "It need not do so because of joint enterprise." "It need not do so because of joint enterprise." "Joint enterprise, or common purpose, a law introduced in the eighteenth century to stop the aristocracy from duelling, is now being used increasingly against young people from our council estates." "And too often it has resulted in cases such as this:" "Where a young man, asked for a lift, gives that lift and faces life in prison for it." "Second, I submit that for a joint enterprise second, I submit that for a joint enterprise murder case to proceed, all those involved in the enterprise must face trial." "In this case, your honour, one person does not:" "That is the pizza manager Hugo Davies." "Now it could be argued that his involvement in all of this was vital:" "After all it was he who alerted one young man to the fact that another young man, his sworn enemy, would shortly be in the shop." "So why does Hugo Davies escape trial so why does Hugo Davies escape trial when those who are far less guilty, face it?" "Surely his absence from the dock means that only one man can be held responsible for this crime and, again, it is he who wielded the knife." "Thirdly, there was no joint enterprise to murder the victim, there was no planning, there was no conspiracy." "At worst, Anthony Wallace went to the pizza shop to confront albie Flanagan." "To confront albie Flanagan." "During the course of that confrontation a young man, Thomas ward, an innocent bystander, was stabbed." "But nobody entered the shop intent on harming Thomas ward." "His murder was just a moment of madness." "With no forethought and no plan." "So, again, only he who was responsible for this moment of madness, he who wielded the knife, should face trial." "The innocent should go free." "The innocent should go free." "And fourthly, your honour, with specific reference to my client John Joseph o'shea." "He will simply say that he simply drove the others for a pizza and there is no evidence to disprove that." "Furthermore, he didn't go into the shop with them so he wasn't even on the scene of the crime when the crime was committed." "I submit it would be dangerous to proceed against him on such a flimsy basis." "Joint enterprise might allow it, your honour;" "Joint enterprise might allow it, your honour;" "Natural justice should not." "Thank you." "Next?" "Mister cotting?" "♪" "Would you like us to sit somewhere else?" "Yes." "Our son is innocent, mrs ward..." "Please go." "We're going." "I just want you to know he's telling the truth, he's innocent." "He's innocent." "Innocent?" "Yes." "Then why didn't he phone the police immediately?" "Because his head was all..." "His head?" "What about mine?" "And on that basis alone the case..." "Against Colin McCabe should be heard." "Finally John Joseph o'shea." "Your first point, mister Barnes-Williams, seems to be this:" "You do not like joint enterprise." "You are not alone." "However there is little I can do about that." "This is not parliament." "This is not parliament." "We can't amend, create or abolish any law." "The law of joint enterprise exists;" "The crown has decided to prosecute according to that law so it is my duty to hear it." "Now your second submission carries more weight." "Yes, if there are five people involved in a joint enterprise, all five should stand trial." "That is not happening here." "Only four of the five face charges and the fifth is a witness for the prosecution." "And the fifth is a witness for the prosecution." "Rest assured, I will ask the jury to keep that in mind when weighing his evidence." "I know that is not perfect but it is better than nothing." "Justice for four is surely better than justice for none." "Now you say there was never any conspiracy or plan to attack Thomas ward." "That's correct." "But there was a plan to attack a young man named" "Albert Flanagan and in the course of that attack" "Albert Flanagan and in the course of that attack" "Thomas ward died." "Whether he was the intended target or an innocent bystander is immaterial;" "It is still joint enterprise murder." "Finally you describe the case against your client as "flimsy" in that he didn't enter the shop but sat waiting in the car." "But this doesn't necessarily weaken the case against him..." "It could strengthen it." "It could strengthen it." "The prosecution could argue that John Joseph o'shea was a getaway driver." "And a getaway driver does not participate in the crime;" "He sits in the car with the engine running." "On balance I think it right for the jury to consider that possibility." "I'm confident that the case against all four defendants should proceed." "You're going to have to plead guilty, Kieran." "That's the least you can No way." "Take the blame." "You're the one who dropped us in this No way." "Who dropped us in this No way." "So what, you think you can get away with it?" "Yeah, yeah, I do." "Yeah." "You've got no chance of getting away with it, you prick." "He's told them everything." "Hugo's told them everything." "When we take the stand we're gonna tell them everything." "You've got no chance." "You're gonna grass?" "Of course we're gonna grass." "You stabbed someone, you knob." "You're gonna have to them it was you." "Just you." "Right?" "We knew nothing about it." "We knew nothing about a knife." "Right?" "I'll go down for life." "You'll get life anyway 'cause you can't get away with it." "We'll see." "No mate." "You take us down with you and your life won't be worth living inside." "I'll get to you." "And if I don't, someone else will." "You'll be doing life and you'll cacking it every day." "They'll put you with the nonces." "You'll be doing life with all the nonces unless you tell the truth and take the blame, mate." "Tell the truth, Kieran." "Go on, you'll be a hero, then, won't you?" ""There's Kieran Gillespie who pleaded guilty to murder so his mates could go free." "He's a good lad him."" "He's a good lad him."" "I told my mum I didn't do it." "All right." "Okay." "I'll do it yeah." "I'll do it." "Who do I tell?" "The judge?" "What?" "No you tell the prosecution." "I'll do it." "I know him." "No can do, I'm afraid." "No?" "The judge will say, "mister Gillespie's getting life anyway." "He's got nothing to lose so of course he's going try to get his mates off by taking all the blame."" "What will you accept?" "Mister Gillespie pleads guilty to murder, the other three to gbh or conspiracy to commit gbh." "What'll that get us?" "Ten years." "Nowhere near ten years." "Nowhere near ten years." "The tariff starts there but the judge will knock off time for a guilty plea, time off for no previous." "At worst, at the very worst, six years." "We've done nothing!" "I've done nothing." "He's done nothing and he's done even less!" "I'm sorry but you take what's on offer or you all stand trial for joint enterprise murder." "Could I stand trial on my own?" "Afraid not." "Take six years or risk life?" "Yeah." "Well?" "What?" "What does he do?" "I don't know." "What do you think he should do?" "I don't know!" "You're not getting away with it." "What?" "You know what." "You know what." "You've never made a decision in your entire life but, I'm sorry..." "You've never let me." "...'Cause you're gonna have to make one now." "What do you think he should do?" "I've told you, I don't know." "You do but you won't say." "You want us to choose." "We choose wrong, he gets life, you blame us." "We take the six years, you blame us for that as well." "Well, no, you're not on." "You tell us what you think he should do." "Take the six years." "Take the six years." "Take the six years?" "Could you do six years?" "He couldn't do a week in butlins." " I." " Could do six years." "It's not just the six years, is it?" "You'll be saying you played a part in that boy's death." "I didn't." "I know." "I'm pleading guilty to nothing, mum." "They can do what they want." "Hi we're not home, please leave a message." "Hi." "It's shelagh." "Again." "Look, I know you're there so will you just pick up." "If you don't pick up, I'm coming round." "I'm coming round." "Aunty shelagh." "You're wasting your time." "I'm not letting my son plead guilty to something he didn't do." "You'd sooner him stand trial for murder?" "Yes." "You think he'll get off with it, don't you?" "There's nothing to get off with." "There's nothing to get off with." "He's innocent." "Okay right, I'll rephrase that." "You think the jury will acquit him." "Right?" "He stayed in the car, wasn't even near the scene of the crime, so therefore can't possibly be guilty." "Right?" " Right." " Wrong." "There's people less guilty than johnjo doing life." "Do you know what this law's about, this joint enterprise law?" "It's not about innocent or guilty, it's about getting working class scum off the streets." "That's how they see our Scum, scallies." "Your son, my son..." "Your son, my son..." "I'm shutting this door." "Gillespie and McCabe, they'll all get life..." "I'm shutting this door..." "You're not." "You're gonna hear me out." "Put it into your laptop." "Joint enterprise and see what you get." "Loads and..." "Get your hands off my door Loads of innocent kids, twice as innocent as..." "Get your hands off my door!" "...Johnjo and they're all doing life." "All I did was watch my mate's back." "That's all I did." "And it's bad enough getting six years for that, johnjo, so I'm fucked if I'm gonna get life." "I'm as innocent as you, you prick." "Are you listening?" "I promise you mate you'll be well boxed off." "I know you're going to do a year on your own because of" "I know you're going to do a year on your own because of young offenders but you can't be with us because of your age but after that, I promise you, you'll be with us." "Be well looked after." "Every fucking prison I go in you dirty, shithead, stinking arsed grass." "Eyes in the back of your head, that's what you're gonna need, you grass..." "Plead guilty to gbh johnjo..." "And your family." "They won't last five minutes." "They'll be torched you bastard..." "Johnjo?" "Johnjo!" "?" "Johnjo?" "Johnjo!" "?" "Tell them you'll take the gbh johnjo." "They're all going to fucking burn." "Johnjo!" "?" "♪" "He's a haemophiliac." "We've mollycoddled him, wrapped him in cotton wool all his life." "You think he's gonna survive six years in prison?" "It won't be six years..." "He'll get picked on, bullied, you know he will." "Six years for my son is not the same as six years for the others." "Six years for my son might as well be life so we're pleading not guilty." "Well, in that case" "I can no longer represent him." "What!" "?" "Why isn't the pizza manager standing trial with them?" "Because they needed his statement." "The price they paid was his freedom." "They needed johnjo's statement." "Yes, but he gave his away for nothing." "Oh, he was honest you mean." "A big mistake, being honest." "Yes!" "It's nothing to do with johnjo, this." "You don't want to lose." "You don't want to be seen to lose." "Mrs o'shea, I care only for johnjo." "If we fight and lose, he gets life." "If we fight and lose, he gets life." "If we plead guilty, the worst scenario is five years and four months." "Not six years, five years and four months." "He comes home with you today." "Kieran Gillespie, you are charged with the murder of Thomas ward." "How do you plead?" "Guilty." "Colin McCabe, you are charged with conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm." "How do you plead?" "Guilty." "Anthony Wallace, you are charged with conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm."

"I add two for the planned nature of the attack, two for the fact that it was a group attack and two years for the vulnerability of the victim." "I deduct three years for the absence" "I deduct three years for the absence of an intention to kill, two years for your plea of guilty and two years for the lack of parental guidance." "Kieran Gillespie, you are to be detained at her majesty's pleasure for a minimum term of twenty four years..." "Colin McCabe and Anthony Wallace, in each of your cases I start at ten years." "I will deduct one year for your previous good characters" "I will deduct one year for your previous good characters and allow the full one third discount for your guilty pleas." "Colin McCabe and Anthony Wallace, you will each go to prison for six years..." "John Joseph o'shea, you were seventeen at the time of the offences and I therefore start at eight years." "I will deduct a full one third for your guilty plea and I sentence you, under the power of the criminal court act, under the power of the criminal court act, to five years and four months detention."

"Mum, I'm fine, honestly!" "I'm fine." "It's just a bit boring that's all." "Did you see the lawyer?" "Yeah." "And?" "There's nothing he can do, johnjo." "He said he was gonna do all sorts." "I know." ""Joint enterprise is wrong."" ""Joint enterprise needs changing."" "I know." ""Joint enterprise this." "Joint enterprise that."" "You're not joint enterprise, son." "What?" "You pleaded guilty to something else." "There wasn't even a trial." "But I only pleaded guilty because" "I was scared of joint enterprise." "I know." "But there's nothing we can do about it now." "Ah well." "♪" "Your neighbour said you've been to see him." "Yeah." "How is he?" "Fine." "Coping?" "I don't think so." "He pretends he is but I don't think he is." "And you?" "Actually, mrs ward, I'm really proud of him." "I always thought he'd make me proud by getting a degree or something but he's doing five and a half years and he's got haemophilia and all he cares about is not upsetting me and I think and all he cares about is not upsetting me and I think" "that is so..." "I think that is so fucking brave." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "I know you'd love your son to be doing five and a half years but..." "Could you tell him I got his letter?" "Could you tell him I got his letter?" "His letter?" "He wrote to me." "You didn't know?" "Would you like to see it?" "Yes." "Dear mrs ward." "I'm writing this after getting sentenced because" "I don't want you to think I'm only writing so's the judge will go easy on me." "I thought we were going for a pizza, mrs ward, honest." "But I've realised that doesn't make me innocent." "See, if I hadn't been born, I wouldn't have been see, if I hadn't been born, I wouldn't have been able to drive them and your Thomas would still be alive." "So that's a kind of guilt." "It's not really a guilty guilt, it's more of an innocent guilt, but it's a guilt just the same and it's easier to do five and a half years thinking like that than five and a half years thinking I'm innocent."
