Emmerdale fans point out string of glaring court errors as Meena's trial continues

Emmerdale fans have pointed out multiple errors in Meena Jutla's trial.

The serial killer attended the second day of court today, as her sister Manpreet Sharma took to the stand to explain what had happened when Meena had kidnapped her and confessed to all her crimes.

Fans tuning into the show tonight were puzzled by a number of gaffes in the court scenes, including why Manpreet had to give her testimony from in the court, when viewers felt she should have been treated as a hostile witness.

Others pointed out a gaffe with the judge and jury too and took to Twitter to vent their frustration.

"Manpreet is so traumatised, why is she being asked to give evidence in the courtroom where her torturer is and not by video link? Also where is Vinnie he would be much better placed to give evidence than Manpreet!!!! #emmerdale," one fan wrote.

A second added in a tweet: " #Emmerdale, funny the judge wasn't as concerned about 1 of the victims as he was about the accused. FFS come on ED bosses do at least a bit of it the right way."

At one point, Meena even mocked Manpreet on the stand - something which fans found really frustrating.

They penned: " #emmerdale Meena openly mocking the witness right there in court, and NOBODY. Not the judge, the lawyers, or the jury, noticed. It's like the writers gave her super powers to only be seen by those she wants to see :/"

"Member of jury shakes head in disgust. There is no way on God’s earth that the jury would react in any way to a witness or what they’re saying. They’re there to listen not judge ffs! #emmerdale," another shared as they referenced how a member of jury was seen shaking their head and judging Manpreet as Meena's barrister branded her a liar.

One wrote: "I can’t believe any self respecting judge would have allowed this line of questioning! #emmerdale."

However, fans were most distracted by the judge using a gavel - something which doesn't happen in UK courts.

"Oh, @emmerdale, British judges do NOT use gavels, and they never say 'Order'," one penned.

Another added: "I looked up and saw a judge bang a gavel and demand order in the court. Has anyone told your writers judges in England and Wales don’t have gavels. How can you make such an obvious mistake?"
