Yes I don't think it's putting any question in their mind.
The irony is that the kidnap plan part could be totally made up, yet could end up being what convicts NM of murder instead of manslaughter. I think there'd be more chance of getting a manslaughter conviction if the story was something like Becky being mouthy and NM losing his temper and snapping, but the kidnap story adds a premeditated angle to the story and makes him more likely to be convicted of murder.

AL:What type of person does evidence portray NM/SH to be?
NM-he said he saw things in black & white.

could be, but I don't think it was. I think the sexual motive has been established and is quite damning.

Absolutely, IIRC he wrote "ish" in one of the texts ie. "16 ish LOL"
Unfortunately I don't remember the Pros highlighting what we all spotted on that? IIRC

SH was able to send "highly inappropriate texts to excite or to please" NM - to appeal to his "toilet humour" #beckywatts

Must admit, that isn't how I've always understood 'toilet humour' to be defined.

AL says SH-troubled upbringing, some evidence that NM didn't treat her well,her self respect wasn't high.SH became completely reliant on him

Me neither - more inappropriate wording, just like AV. Perhaps both Barristers are struggling to deal with such depraved individuals and cant find the right phrases, or dont dare to use them !

Again, the big focus on abuse and SH being controlled and abused by NM. If she didn't do anything illegal, why is it relevant?
Anyone would think this is a defence for being forced into helping him!

Ah I'd interpreted that to mean someone who was over 16 and pretending to be 16. Hadn't thought of the other option.
