Law & Order: UK2009

Julie Reid:
I saw this woman on the, uh, the news last night, and she said Rose Shaw was Satan reborn, they should bring back hanging just for her. I've never heard so much hate in someone's voice.

George Castle:
Well, public feeling is very strong.

Julie Reid:
All these flowers on the estate, sackloads of cards everyday, like they all knew him. All of them, out there, feeding off my boy's death. Lettin' it take over their lives. It's like they need it. The funny thing is, all I want, yeah? All I need is to let it go.

James Steel:
The trial can help you do that.

Julie Reid:
Sending her to prison won't help me. It won't bring my boy back.

Alesha Phillips:
Most victims' families find it gives them a sense of closure.

Julie Reid:
Closure? This ain't closure. This is revenge. No, that little girl don't deserve it. She's been through enough. We live on the same estate. I know what goes on in there.

George Castle:
She broke the law in the most terrible way.

Julie Reid:
She's a child! What, you want to hide her behind a 10-foot wall so that no one has to look at her? No one has to ask her wha- who's really responsible for Conor's death? No. No, no, it's too easy.

James Steel:
Prosecuting kids is never easy.

Julie Reid:
My Conor, he used to- he liked to draw them pictures, you know, the ones where you put the paint through the straws. He loved dogs. [sobs] That's how I want to remember him. My happy little boy. I don't want my memories clouded by hate. I mean, would you want your son brought up in a world with no hope? You can't- you can't save Conor, but you can save her. Yeah, you can- you can give Rosie Shaw a life.

George Castle:
You can forgive her?

Julie Reid:
I hate what she did with every- every bone in my body! But... but I'm a mum, you know? I can't hate a child. You say you represent me, then this is what you do: you make Conor's life mean something, yeah? You find out why she did it and you get that little girl help.
