Judge John Deed Season 5 Episode 3

Deed has to judge a case concerning Jo’s boyfriend, Marc Thompson. Marc wants to take the decision not to resuscitate a two-year old patient at his hospital who has a weak heart and is in a coma, if the child’s heart stops again, but the parents disagree.

In another case, Deed has to sentence a young thief, and the youth then dies in custody. All this brings back Deed’s memories of his own traumatic childhood. He is spoiling for a fight and argues with Jo – who announces that she has decided to marry Marc.
