Anyone watch it?
She got 16 months for what she did to him - unbelievable.He died FFS
And would the police be laughing and joking with a man arrested in the same circumstances? They only seemed to stop when the woman in charge of the investigation wouldn't joke with her

Was horrible. She was evil. Unfortunately the court could not find a link between the heart attack and the injuries caused by her.

she could not be sentenced for killing him if the injuries she inflicted did not cause the death.

Its the original sentence that was the poor one. Combined with what I suspect was a lack of support for the victim to help break his dependence on her.

Felt really sorry for the lady detective, she tried her best.
 
I watched it and the sentence she got was pathetic for the years of abuse and misery she caused him, ultimately leading to his death. The judge showed more sympathy for her own past abuse and hard upbringing than his death.

As for the police joking with her, many of the officers you see on this programme try to have civil conversation with suspects as at that point they are just that. It's in the police officers interest to get suspects onside. I don't think her being a woman had any bearing on how they acted.
 
Switched off after ten minutes last night. There have been some stunning episodes, though. The trap laid for an offender who turned out to be a copper from the same nick. And last week, the Lithuanian suspected of being murdered. Turned out he'd escaped an abusive gangmaster and lived rough in some scrubland - for 5 years!
