- I'm guilty.
- Thank you.
:51:04
Please be seated.
:51:17
...and cautioned her.
:51:18
on being asked to surrender
:51:20
the equipment used for the abortion,
:51:23
the defendant produced nine objects
:51:27
from the top of a cupboard in the bedroom.
:51:29
My Lord, they were: a Higginson's syringe--
:51:33
that is exhibit EW-1.
:51:36
A cheese grater--exhibit EW-2.
:51:39
A nail brush--
:51:41
exhibit EW-3.
:51:42
A bottle of disinfectant--
:51:44
exhibit EW-4,
:51:46
wrapped in a towel--exhibit EW-5.
:51:49
A piece of carbolic soap
:51:51
wrapped in a dishcloth--
:51:53
they are exhibits EW-6 and EW-7.
:51:57
Those last two objects
:51:59
were both enclosed in a tin.
:52:02
Which is exhibit EW-8.
:52:05
All the aforementioned items
:52:07
were kept in a cloth bag,
:52:09
which as Your Lordship can see
:52:11
is exhibit EW-9.
:52:16
Vera Drake is not concerned with riches.
:52:19
She simply helps people
:52:21
as and when she's asked.
She's always helped people.
:52:25
Her solicitude for others
:52:28
has led her to commit
:52:30
one of the most serious offenses
:52:31
in the calendar,
:52:33
but her intention...
:52:36
was to help the young girl
:52:38
and not to harm her.
:52:40
l may assure Your Lordship
:52:42
That Vera Drake is more relieved than anyone
:52:43
about the recovery of Pamela Barnes.
:52:47
l submit that Your Lordship
would have little doubt
:52:50
that this...
:52:51
unfortunate woman is now ever likely
:52:54
to reoffend...
:52:57
and that is the case
for the defense, my Lord.
