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.

    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?
