1. If I am understanding it correctly,

the gist of it is the parents were accused of murdering their youngest child due to neglect and abuse. Seems the father had a violent past, and the mother may be mentally ill. Due to neglect and abuse, their four older children were put into the u.k.'s version of cps.
Apparently the trial became a circus, with protesters and supporters of the mom causing issues outside the building where the trial was being held, because the mom is the daughter of a noble family and seems to be pretty, and some still believe (erroneously) that those of the nobility and/or wealthy can do no wrong.
That's my reading of it, take it for what it's worth.
