to twenty-to-one
following Kathy's testimony. But events tonight will send those odds
tumbling. Kim appears to be sitting pretty until suddenly Kathy has
second thoughts and asks to be allowed to give evidence again. Kim's
counsel
Derbyshire looks grim-faced as the judge agrees to her request. And

evidence she is concerned that her recollections of the night of the
crash were placed in her mind when Kim visited her in hospital - before

whether she trusts Kim. Derbyshire tries his best to rubbish this new
evidence raking up Kathy's psychological problems since the crash -
