Watch: Moment mother sobs and pleads 'I didn't do anything' as she's handcuffed by police over her 10-month-old son Jacob Crouch's death
This is the moment police arrest Gemma Barton over her 10 month old son's death - as she sobs and insists "I haven't done anything".Jacob Crouch was 10 months old when he was found dead in his cot, having suffered dozens of injuries at their Derbyshire home in December 2020.
Barton, 33, was cleared of murder, an alternative charge of manslaughter, and two counts of child cruelty. Mrs Prior said that Jacob died at his home in Foxley Chase, Linton, near Swadlincote, following a "vicious assault" which was the culmination of regular abuse within a "culture of cruelty". While Dr Biggs said that Jacob's injuries would have left him "systematically unwell" in the time before his death, Crouch claimed in a 999 call that Jacob was "fine" just two hours before he was pronounced dead by paramedics.
She claimed her son was her "bundle of joy" and said it felt like her "whole world had just ended" when she was awoken by Crouch screaming that Jacob was dead.
