Description
George and Emma wait for his solicitor outside the courtroom at Felpersham Crown Court. George groans when he spots Lilian and Adam arriving. The solicitor explains the proceedings, but George is shocked when he hears that Fallon’s going to read her own Victim Personal Statement. Emma’s surprised when Susan appears and asks her to go, but Susan explains that they shouldn’t face this day alone. George is her grandson and Emma’s her daughter, so she’s staying. When it’s time to go in scared George thanks Emma for coming with him and asks Susan to look after Emma. Tearful Susan promises she will. Fallon reads her statement, outlining how traumatic it’s been. George didn’t rescue her because he cared, he did it because he knew it was his fault. When the court adjourns for lunch Fallon approaches Emma, who says it must have been really difficult for Fallon. Fallon reckons it can’t have been easy for Emma hearing it either. She hopes that Emma finds today manageable. Emma says how sorry George is and Fallon says she saw it in his face, but what happened still happened. George’s barrister puts George’s case, but in the end the judge passes his sentence: one year for the charge of dangerous driving and two years for perverting the course of justice, to be served concurrently. Susan comforts distraught Emma. George is equally upset when he discovers from his solicitor that he’s going to an adult prison. But he asks her to tell Emma that he was ok about it, before George is left alone in the cell.
