Witnesses can come in all shapes and sizes. But in a murder trial it's rare to hear evidence from the voice of a five-year-old. In this episode, we break down the events from a dramatic day-5 in court, as the jury is told that a five year old boy may have witnesses the murder, and revealed who was responsible. But is he telling the truth? The court also hears from witnesses who may have seen, or heard, the suspects leaving an address and heading towards the scene of the murder. But will their evidence prove to be consistent, or pose more questions than it answers? Tommy Ross KC and journalist Jane MacSorley listen to the evidence, and provide the context behind the questions. Presented by: Jane MacSorley and Tommy Ross KC Written and Produced by: Darrell Brown Production Manager: Eilidh Hart Executive Producer: Iain Scollay Commissioning Editor: Heather Kane-Darling A Firecrest Films Production for BBC Sounds
