LUTHER TROUGHTON:
My son went with that blonde haired slapper. I don't know what they see in her she's hapless, and she's C of E. I thought he couldn't sink any lower with a proddy.

TONY LONDON:
You mean the Church of England.

HELEN TATE:
Objection the witness is going off topic.

JUDGE DUNSTABLE:
Mr Troughton, stay on topic, or otherwise I'll request you to stand down.

LUTHER TROUGHTON:
I took my son Andrew to the 40s dance as he's a Navy officer his car was in for repairs, so i drove him there. I was nearby when Oliver confronted and hit Mr Rutherford.

TONY LONDON:
Had he grabbed Kathy or done anything untoward, Mr Troughton.

LUTHER TROUGHTON:
No, Oliver did everything he didn't care that he knocked the drink out of his hand.

OLIVER TROUGHTON:
He shouldn't have been on the dance floor with a fosters bitter Shandy in a glass in his hand.

JUDGE DUNSTABLE:
You'll speak to when you're spoken to Mr Troughton. One more time, I'll have you for contempt of court.

LUTHER TROUGHTON:
I have it here in a note he gave to Kathy to say that he was gonna go to Altrincham and rid himself and Kathy of a plague.

HELEN TATE:
Your Honour can we adjourn as this is fresh evidence that was not presented to us the defence at the start of the trial.

MALCOLM BATES:
Sorry, that's not his handwriting.

HELEN TATE:
What are you doing.

MALCOLM BATES:
That letter G is very sloppy, I know my future son-in-law like the back of my hand. You've forged that evidence and passed it off as fact.

JUDGE DUNSTABLE:
The court is adjourned.

BARRISTER:
All rise.
