In this episode, Caroline and Jack bring you the cross-examination of the boy accused of murdering Harvey Willgoose.

He is questioned about the witness accounts of teachers and pupils who saw him acting like he had a knife before the stabbing and the prosecution put its case to him - that he did not lose control when he killed Harvey, but got worked up into a rage.
