Marten has claimed her daughter died by accident when she fell asleep holding her under her jacket the day after pitching a tent.Credit: Elizabeth Cook/PA He told jurors: “The way she has been characterised, it was almost vengeful in the way she was dealt with – as if they wanted to make you hate her or fill you with righteous anger so you would be more inclined to find her guilty. We say that is the wrong approach.
