It's the morning of the verdict and Steve's lawyer tells him to give lots of apologetic looks for his dramatic outburst yesterday. Teresa gives her evidence that Steve threatened her and Matthew and hit her, but they managed to escape and run away and Matthew came back to confess to Beppe, who is an ex-policeman. Steve's barrister asks her exactly why Beppe is no longer a policeman and she admits it was for destroying evidence in a murder case. Matthew's barrister asks for new evidence to be admitted and he again questions the doctor who gave evidence saying that Steve could not have delivered the fatal blow to Saskia from that angle. He points out that the last trial that doctor gave evidence to convicted a man who was later released on appeal because his medical evidence was totally discredited.
