On the third day of the trial, internationally famous footballer Damien Scott continues giving his evidence in the courtroom, followed by the hotel porter and then by Damien’s friend, James Greer.

Interviewed by the defence, the porter says that he saw the girls chatting and having fun with the footballers. However, the prosecution suggest that this is because they are regular customers and good tippers, so it is in his best interest to protect them.

The defendants deny having any contact with each other after the allegations came to light. This is something that provokes a lot of discussion amongst the jurors, with many of them finding it odd behaviour for two such long-standing friends. However, Stan thinks that if they had spoken to each other, this would have led the jury to think they have concocted their story between them.

The jury leave court exhausted, frustrated and with many unanswered questions.

Megaman is very quiet over dinner and eventually, after a fraught discussion with Ingrid Tarrant, his frustrations get the better of him and he leaves the room.

Sara Payne has also been deeply affected by what has been happening in court and relates this to her experience during the trial of her daughter’s murderer.

Stan Collymore continues to defend the footballers but some, particularly Honor Blackman, draw on their own experiences to express sympathy for Anna. However, by the end of the meal, most of the jury continue to be undecided as to whether the defendants are guilty or innocent.
