The Bill: Trial & Error: Part I

Overview

The trial for Tom Norris starts, with the charges rape and murder, and Banksy's wife, Naomi Woods, is named as defence counsel. Fallon Thomas runs from Brown and Green when they go to pick her up, to bring her to court. Paula Merrick suffers a dose of nerves and is found out of her face on vodka, but Ryder cleans her up and brings her to court. She is torn apart on the stand, and is then found in the bathroom talking to fellow witness Sophie Oduya. Naomi witnesses the incident, and the judge throws it out for police orchestration of collusion between witnesses. Nixon issues a warning to Norris about witness intimidation, but a call comes in about an assault in the same alleyway where Paula Merrick was found, leaving Nixon horrified that Norris has restarted his crimes.
