00:02:54,515 of one another's personality traits. 43 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:55,680 - Both positive... - _ 44 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,195 - and negative. - _ 45 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,435 Dear

Your full attention, please, ladies and gentlemen, 49 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,075 with immediate effect. 50 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,795 At the risk of exposing your ignorance of current affairs, 51 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,800 can anyone apprise us of the significance of today's date? 52 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,780 It's my birthday. 53 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,595 Then you have the honour of sharing it 54 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,075 with the Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, 55 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,035 the sadly underrated Italian balladeer Sergio Endrigo 56 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,235 and the eminent criminologist Robert D Keppel, 57 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,880 who helped identify the American serial killer Ted Bundy. 58 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,280 And that is not the observation I was hoping for. 59 00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:36,075 Had you bothered to read the Crown Court listings 60 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,075 as instructed, you would be aware 61 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,560 that the trial of Sean Hallett begins today... 62 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,040 ...not half a mile from where I am standing. 63 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,795 On the March 9th last year, 64 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,715 officers were dispatched to the property 65 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,440 when a silent intruder alarm was triggered at 18 minutes past nine. 66 00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:00,675 Arriving at 9.34pm, they encountered a vehicle on the drive, 67 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,040 later confirmed to belong to the defendant. 68 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,675 When the officers entered the building, 69 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,795 they came across the victim's body, Vincent Soames. 70 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,155 He had suffered a single gunshot wound to the chest 71 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,995 and was pronounced dead at the scene. 72 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,075 The defendant, Sean Hallett, 73 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,275 was found standing next to the victim's body. 74 00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:19,875 He was arrested and taken into custody. 75 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,355 A hunting rifle was found in the immediate vicinity. 76 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,875 Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, 77 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,235 you will hear expert witnesses give evidence 78 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,075 that Vincent Soames was killed with the rifle found at the scene. 79 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,115 You'll be presented with forensics 80 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,555 linking the defendant to the murder weapon. 81 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,315 And you will also hear evidence from a close associate of Sean Hallett's 82 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,440 that the weapon used to kill Vincent Soames belonged to him. 83 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,875 You'll be asked to consider a list of more than 50 items 84 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,515 recovered from Sean Hallett's cottage in the wake of the murder. 85 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,755 It is the prosecution's contention that these were stolen 86 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,475 from the Soames during his nine years of employment 87 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,795 as groundsman and odd-jobs man for their estate. 88 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,475 And lastly, you'll hear from the victim's wife Hester 89 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,155 that her husband meant to confront Sean Hallett 90 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,195 about her missing diamond engagement ring 91 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,840 on the very night he was murdered. 92 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,480 Sounds like it'll be over before lunch. 93 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,875 A facetious observation, but an understandable one nevertheless. 94 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,075 The Crown Prosecution Service would not have opted 95 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,035 to initiate proceedings against Mr. Hallett 96 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,515 had they not been convinced that the investigating officers 97 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,515 had put forward a case backed by compelling evidence of his guilt. 98 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,435 But, as regular attendees of my lectures 99 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,355 will have understood by now, 100 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,275 evidence alone is not always sufficient 101 00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:39,795 to determine the outcome of an investigation. 102 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,955 It can be ambiguous, circumstantial, contradictory. 103 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,875 Undue focus on one piece of evidence 104 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,195 can cause the investigating authorities 105 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:55,440 to overlook others that might lead to a different view of the case. 106 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,595 I bring this trial to your attention 107 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,275 as a case study in the pitfalls of a criminal investigation 108 00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,315 that fails to marry evidence gathering 109 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,675 with psychological insight. 110 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,515 Indeed, the interpretation of evidence 111 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,715 without psychological understanding 112 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,080 is like the appreciation of music without Johann Sebastian Bach. 113 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,275 Yes. 114 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:19,875 Why are we using this as a case study 115 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,755 if we don't know the outcome of the trial? 116 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,315 Because this murder predates my consultancy with Cambridge Police, 117 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,235 and I wish it to be known that I had nothing to do 118 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,515 with constructing the case against Sean Hallett, 119 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,475 particularly when he is acquitted of the murder of Vincent Soames, 120 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,235 as I believe he invariably will be. 121 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,275 Won't that be embarrassing, Professor? 122 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,275 For the police officers involved? 123 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,515 I cannot say. 124 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,800 That is not an emotional state with which I'm familiar. 125 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,755 And as I was saying, 126 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,995 it is very important that all the facts about the firearm 127 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,435 are laid out in detail for the jury. 128 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,835 What were you so desperate to speak to the boss about this morning? 129 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,035 - Nothing important. - ...but also who used it. 130 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,075 Could've fooled me. 131 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,075 In layman's terms, Detective Inspector Rabbit, 132 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,795 the defendant fingerprints were found all over the murder weapon. 133 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,635 That's correct. Fingerprints were found on the stock and the barrel. 134 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,275 The examination report also indicated 135 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,635 an attempt to wipe the weapon clean before we recovered it. 136 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,640 Thank you.
