Mark Gordon has opted to represent himself in his retrial regarding the death of his newborn daughter Victoria, following the withdrawal of his previous legal team at the Old Bailey. He, alongside Constance Marten, faces charges of gross negligence manslaughter after their infantâs tragic end during their attempts to evade authorities while living off-grid. The prosecution suggests the couple mishandled their baby's care, leading to hypothermia or fatal co-sleeping practices, as they engaged in a high-profile search for their missing child amidst claims of prior state intervention with their other children.
Jurors at the Old Bailey were informed that Mark Gordon will represent himself in his retrial over the neglect leading to the death of his infant daughter.
The prosecution claims the parents fled authorities using a Lidl bag-for-life to conceal their newborn, leading to a police hunt for the baby.
