A mother stands by her partner, insisting the tragic death of their daughter was an accident during a playful moment at home
Scarlett’s mum, Sarah Hall, was in the kitchen that night, cooking spaghetti bolognese. She testified that they were all having fun, throwing grapes and joking around. When things took a tragic turn, she didn’t see how Scarlett got hurt.
Sarah described Simon as a loving dad who treated Scarlett well. She was emotional in court, saying, “If I thought he had harmed her, I wouldn’t be with him.” She firmly believes it was an accident, stating, “He would never harm her.”
The night started off with laughter and excitement about a holiday. But in a split second, everything changed. Sarah recalled hearing Scarlett say “ow” and turning to see blood. It was a moment no parent should ever have to face.
As the trial continues, Sarah’s unwavering support for Simon raises questions about the tragic events of that night. She insists it was just a terrible accident, and her love for her daughter remains clear.
