  2. Here’s the thing for me, if he is telling the truth and it were just a freak accident you would think this would be the punishment he would want for himself.

    I know that if I were a father and I accidentally killed my own child my own guilt would want to see me locked behind bars for the rest of my life, I wouldn’t give flying fucks whether noone believed it was an accident or not or whether what I did was unlawful.

  3. I have a huge problem with this jury result.

    There was no evidence this was murder.

    All they have is the knife went in so far, nothing else at all. No motive. Not even any supporting evidence they had drama or strife, absolutely nothing.

    The jury are dipshits through and through; it is not reasonable at all to conclude a father murdered their only child in the absence of evidence to support the charge.

    This was manslaughter, as nothing else can be proved and the onus on the prosecution is to PROVE it. They didn’t.

    I absolutely detest the jury system – people are dumb as hell, and they expect the general population to make decisions that professionals ought to be?

    No thanks.

    I hope he appeals and also sues his defence team for a monumental gash. Totally ineffective.

  5. Well he did drink half a cannabis joint beforehand according to the article, sounds like he was off his tits.

  6. A lot of people here don’t seem to have read the article including this section:

    ‘But the Crown Prosecution Service said Vickers’ account of his daughter’s death was ‘wholly inconsistent’ with the evidence, saying the wound could only have been inflicted if the knife used was ‘firmly gripped’. ‘

    This wasn’t a bizarre and unlikely story with forensic evidence corroborating the events told by the father, it’s a bizarre and unlikely story with evidence which contradicts what he told police
    And what we are getting in the article are snippets of the evidence probably presented to the jury.

  7. Emergency services called shortly before 11pm, and the incident happened as they were cooking dinner? Hmmmm.
