Police Procedures in UK?
I'm watching this in the US on the Sundance channel and I'm completely blown away by the excellent acting! A few questions on the role of an "appropriate adult"- what are their legal obligations? How does a person in training who doesn't even have her social worker license (assuming there is a license procedure in the UK) even get volunteered for such a high profile case? When Janet took the clothing to Rose at the detention center and Rose verbally attacked her, the officers in the room would/should have put Rose in some restraint hold and removed Janet from the room- that scene was shocking, but didn't ring true because of that detail. Also, when a person doesn't have a previous diagnosis of mental retardation or some other cognitive disability, would they qualify to have an appropriate adult? Hopefully some of the books on this case mentioned in other posts are available in the US. No matter how well written or acted a dramatization is, there are always some details that are off.
