Murder accused 'pulling the wool over the jury's eyes' with self-defence claims

A woman standing trial for murder has been accused of attempting to "pull the wool over the jury's eyes" by claiming that she fatally stabbed her boyfriend in self-defence.

Emma Walsh knifed partner Gary Morgan in the chest at her home on Lavan Close in Everton on April 10 this year after a night in the pub. The 31-year-old gave evidence to the jury from the witness box at Liverpool Crown Court for a third day today, Wednesday.

She was first questioned about an incident in the city centre just over two weeks earlier on the evening of Saturday, March 26. The trial had previously heard that a woman had been waiting for a bus home on Queen Square when she witnessed a violent altercation between a couple and called the police.
