Constance Marten and Mark Gordon were twice in the dock at the Old Bailey over the death of their baby, and caused chaos across their two trials, which both overran by months. They have now both been found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence. BBC correspondent Helena Wilkinson followed both trials, and can now report some of the remarkable moments when jurors were not in court, some of which she describes as 'jaw-dropping'.
