Constance Marten and Mark Gordon caused chaos across their two trials, which both overran by months. 
 
At one point the Old Bailey’s most senior judge accused them of trying to “sabotage” and “manipulate” their retrial. It nearly collapsed a number of times.
 
From refusing to turn up and claiming to be ill, to sacking countless barristers and even misplacing their trousers - the pair’s behaviour was unlike anything seen in criminal trials before.
 
Constance Marten and Mark Gordon were found guilty on Monday of gross negligence manslaughter over the death of their baby, Victoria, who was found dead in a shopping bag.
