Summary
Simon Vickers, 50, is on trial for the fatal stabbing of his 14-year-old daughter, Scarlett Vickers, during a kitchen play-fight at their Darlington home in July.
The court heard the family was throwing food and utensils while making dinner, and Vickers claims Scarlett accidentally impaled herself on a knife he was holding.
Prosecutors argue the wound was too deep to be accidental, alleging deliberate action.
Vickers denies murder and manslaughter, describing the incident as a tragic accident.
Why does the article first say he said he was holding the knife and his daughter lunged at him then later he says he threw what he thought were tongs over his shoulder behind him but it turned out to be the knife?
The article also says he gave multiple stories.
Reminds me of the idiot cop who shot a man with her service weapon while shouting 'Taser!".
Is that the same police officer who unloaded an entire clip into a teen’s abdomen repeatedly firing her handgun, pulling the trigger because she thought her taser wasn’t deploying?
Because he doesn’t want to go to jail.
