New Jury Trial for Preston Davey's Death

0:00On April 23rd, a jury got discharged in the heartbreaking trial over 13-month-old Preston Davies' death after he suffered around 40 injuries. While in the care of two men, Jamie Varley and John McGowan-Fazaccerley, Varley, who's 37, faces murder charges plus sexual assault, grievous bodily harm, child cruelty, and making indecent images. His 32-year-old partner stands accused of causing or allowing the child's death plus cruelty and sexual assault on a young boy. This all unfolded at Preston Crown Court, where prosecutors say the toddler picked up those brutal injuries under their watch, leading to his passing, at Blackpool Victoria Hospital. On day three of the trial this Thursday, Judge Mark Turner halted everything, citing circumstances that made it impossible to go on, but he praised. The jurors for their sharp focus and made clear there was zero blame on them. A fresh jury gets sworn in on Monday, restarting the case as everyone awaits justice in this tragic saga.
