Darlington: So, there’s this really sad story about a dad, Simon Vickers, who’s in court for stabbing his 14-year-old daughter, Scarlett. It all happened during what he claims was a “play-fight.”
Apparently, he had a bottle of wine and smoked some cannabis before it all went down. He says they were just messing around, throwing things at each other, when he accidentally grabbed a knife.
But the prosecutors are saying that the stab wound was way too deep to be an accident. They’re painting a pretty grim picture of what happened that day.
In court, Simon talked about how he and Scarlett were just having a fun day, watching TV and throwing grapes at each other. He said it was all in good fun until it took a terrible turn.
He described the moment she fell to the floor after he threw something at her, saying he must be the “unluckiest man in the world.” It’s heartbreaking to hear him talk about Scarlett as “the love of my life.”
Simon’s lawyer is trying to show that he never meant to hurt her, but the prosecution argues that he must have been holding the knife firmly when he stabbed her. The trial is still ongoing, and it’s just a really tragic situation all around.
