The Slaters have finally seen the video that proves Jasmine killed Anthony in self-defence, but Kat isn’t so convinced that the teen is innocent, despite what Zoe says

Finally, Jasmine Fisher‘s video evidence that killing her biological father Anthony Trueman was an act of self-defence has come to light. After watching the video during Thursday’s episode of EastEnders (26 March), Zoe Slater rejoiced that her daughter would soon be free. But Kat was less sure of Jasmine’s innocence, even after she saw what really happened.

Jasmine (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) was arrested for murder earlier this year and insisted that she only killed her father because he was going to kill her. She even had a video to prove it, in which Anthony (Nicholas Bailey) could be seen charging at her, but her phone mysteriously went missing as she was cuffed.

Max Branning (Jake Wood) had stolen it, and Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) stole it from him. Without the phone, many, including Jasmine’s boyfriend Oscar Branning (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) and her grandfather Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker), believed her to be a cold-blooded murderer who was lying to save herself from prison. But this week, Cindy brought the phone back to the Slaters, who then watched the video.

While Zoe immediately jumped into action to make sure the video could be used for Jasmine’s defence, and Oscar went to visit Jasmine and apologise for not believing her, Kat (Jessie Wallace) confided in Alfie (Shane Richie) about her doubts. She asked Alfie if Jasmine really had to hit him so hard, and implied she wasn’t sure Jasmine’s response was proportional to how scared she was.

Jasmine later revealed to Oscar that her lawyer was having similar thoughts. She had been told that she would still need to stand trial to prove it was reasonable force.

Some fans weren’t sure why Kat was being so suspicious about her granddaughter. One wrote: “Why is Kat so against Jasmine- like you’ve seen video evidence now honey?”

Another agreed emphatically: “Right, like, what did she expect her to do with a crazy man charging at her but protect herself by any means?” A third asked: “Does Kat not like Jasmine still even after seeing the evidence?”

Elsewhere in the episode, Jasmine’s brother Josh Goodwin (Joshua Vaughn) learned that his new beau was in fact his twin’s ex. After Oscar went to see Jasmine, the two decided to give their relationship another go, which he later told Josh.

Josh, it seems, had already developed feelings for Oscar, but kept that secret and instead teared up as Oscar told him what Jasmine was like. Fans are split on who they want Oscar to end up with, with some saying he has more “chemistry” with Josh, and others saying he and Jasmine are “fun”.

How much the fans are split has led some to wonder if EastEnders will ask the public to choose who Oscar’s eventual partner is. The show previously held a vote like this so that the public could decide if Denise Fox (Diane Parish) would end up with Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) or Jack Branning (Scott Maslen). Ultimately, the public chose Jack.

Ghana international Thomas Partey faced initial charges of rape just days after leaving Arsenal last summer.

Former Arsenal player Thomas Partey intends to plead not guilty to two new charges of rape, his lawyer told a London court on Friday.

The 32-year-old Ghana midfielder, who now plays for Spanish club Villarreal, is separately awaiting trial on five counts of rape related to two women and one count of sexual assault involving a third woman.

The new charges were brought after a different woman alleged Partey twice raped her on the same day in December 2020. According to a court hearing on Friday, the new allegations arose after the first set of charges were publicised.

Partey was not required to attend Friday’s preliminary session at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. His lawyer, Emma Fenn, indicated he intends to plead not guilty to both charges. The next court date for the case is April 10.

Partey pleaded not guilty to the first set of charges and faces trial in November at Southwark Crown Court. Those alleged offences were between 2021 and 2022, prosecutors have said.

The midfielder had joined Arsenal in 2020 from Atletico Madrid.

He was initially charged last July, just days after his Arsenal contract expired. Villarreal signed him in August, two days after he was granted bail.

Ghana has qualified for the World Cup and is in the same group as England, Croatia and Panama.

Partey played in three World Cup qualifying games in September and October. He has made more than 50 appearances for Ghana.

March 9 (UPI) — The Alexander brothers on Monday were found guilty on all counts regarding their alleged years-long sex trafficking conspiracy, which may send them to prison for life.

At the end of a five-week trial, it took jurors three days to find former real estate superstars Oren and Alon Alexander, 38, who are twins, and their 39-year-old brother, Tal, guilty on ten counts of conspiracy of rape, sex trafficking, sex abuse and sexual exploitation of women and girls.

The brothers, all of whom pleaded not guilty to the charges, were portrayed by their attorneys as obnoxious and inappropriate, but that they “are not mobsters” and that prosecutors had asked jurors to “connect dots that aren’t really there,” ABC News reported.

The allegations included using drugs, money and social influence over two decades — from 2008 to 2021 — to commit their acts of abuse, The New York Times reported.

The brothers worked together, prosecutor Madison Smyser said during the trial, to lure their victims “with promises of parties and trips, and when they got there the defendants raped them,” according to NBC News.

Tal and Oren had since the early 2000s had risen to be among the highest earning real estate agents in the country, and Alon was a security executive — and all three were well-known in the New York and Miami party scenes.

During the course of the trial, which concluded last Thursday in the Southern District of New York before it was given to the jury, 11 accusers testified that one or more of the Alexander brothers had drugged, abducted and raped them.

The brothers were said to have records of some of their acts, either on social media or other types of documents, including a video of Oren Alexander adjusting a laptop camera’s angle before showing him getting into bed with an incapacitated 17-year-old girl and raping her.

In addition to their sentencing in August, Oren and Alon face criminal charges in Florida and all three of the brothers face scores of civil lawsuits connected to allegations of drugging, sexual assault or rape.
