In January, Simon Vicers was found guilty of killing his 14-year-old daughter Scarlett, when a jury rejected his claim, he killed her in a game. His partner, Scarlet’s mother, it was an accident.
The question is that the whole hall will listen to the rest of his life – how can he probably support the man who was convicted of killing his daughter?
“I know she will never harm Scarlet,” she insists.
Ms. Hall claims that July 5 was a normal in the family’s Darlington house on Friday night.

Garlic bread was ready to cut, a kitchen knife was placed next to the tongs, and Ms. Hall believes that the vessel grabbed the knife and placed it against the granite chopping board, leading the blade out of the bench.
At the same moment, Scarlett moved towards his father, perhaps in the dialect to catch the tongs, and ran on the blade, calling Ms. Hall.
‘Something seriously wrong’
During the testing of the wounders, he also claimed that the injury was accidentally instigated, but a pathologist stated that it was “practically impossible”, for this it was held firmly in one hand due to anything other than a knife.
