Debbie pleads guilty in a move that stuns her family
Earlier, Ronnie Bailey pulled out all the stops, desperate to convince Debbie not to take the fall for the crash that killed Billy. Bernie even dropped by the flat before Debbie headed to court, gently reminding her that the tragedy was just that – a tragic accident – and that she had no reason to waste any of her time-limited life behind bars.
But Carl had other ideas. He urged Debbie to plead guilty, reassuring her she would likely get a suspended sentence. In a shocking turn, Debbie followed his advice and admitted guilt in court, leaving her family stunned.
Later, Adam warned that the case could hinge on whether Debbie was of sound mind at the time of the crash. Ronnie tried to push for medical evidence to show her dementia may have impaired her understanding, but the threat of prison remained very real.
In a quiet moment alone, Debbie rifled through a memory box. The truth became clear. She pleaded guilty to shield her son because she is, in fact, Carl’s mother. The question now is whether Carl will ever discover the truth.
