The Trial of Constance Marten & Mark Gordon episodes
- “Shameful Conduct”: The Sentencing of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon
Constance Marten and Mark Gordon have gone to prison for 14 years for the “shameful behaviour” which led to the death of their baby daughter Victoria. In this episode Caroline and Jack have all the details from the Old Bailey, as the Judge said they had painted themselves as caring parents, but instead of cherishing their daughter, they had wilfully neglected her, exposing her to the freezing cold for days as they ran from police and social workers. During two separate trials spanning almost two years he said the pair showed no remorse and tried to blame everybody else.

32 min - The Verdict
In January 2023, Constance Marten and Mark Gordon went on the run with their newborn baby Victoria. After a nationwide hunt, the couple were found. Two days later, so was the body of Victoria.
Last year a jury found the pair guilty of concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice. However, unable to reach a verdict on the charge of manslaughter, the jury was discharged. Constance Marten and Mark Gordon have faced a retrial on this charge, and today, we finally have the verdict.
Caroline and Jack also sit down with Detective Superintendent Lewis Basford, who helped lead the hunt for Constance Martin and Mark Gordon, in an exclusive interview.

We'll be talking to the two psychologists whose research into the impact on juries of serving on a trial, is the driving force for this.

In this episode Caroline and Jack bring you the Judge, Mark Lucraft KC.
His job now, at the end of this trial, is to sum up this case, to remind the jury of the evidence they've heard. Today he reminded them what Constance Marten had told them as she spent several days in the witness box. He also referred to the evidence from the two pathologists who had told them Victoria's body was so decomposed they could not conclude how she died.

15 min - ‘Are any of these things criminal?’
In this episode, Caroline and Jack bring you the closing speech of Constance Marten's barrister, Francis Fitzgibbon KC, as he urged jurors to acquit her of the killing of her baby, Victoria. He told the Old Bailey 'the evidence isn't there' to convict the aristocrat and her partner Mark Gordon over Victoria's death and accused the prosecution of describing the baby as 'it' which, he said, was 'jarring and dehumanising'. The episode will also feature his suggestion that jurors should ignore the 'nasty bit of class prejudice' used by the prosecution to 'smear' her.
