Marten and her partner Mark Gordon are on trial over the death of their newborn daughter who died while they were living off-grid and on the run from police.
Constance Marten has said she told her partner to lie to police about being present when their baby daughter died because she thought they would 'automatically blame him, being a black guy'. The 36-year-old and Mark Gordon, 49, are on trial over the death of their newborn daughter Victoria who died they while on the run with her between January and February last year.
'That was my fear that no matter how innocent I am they are just going to want to prosecute me,' she explained. Marten had 'keeled over' with exhaustion and fell asleep before the baby died, the jury was told. 'My body couldn't take it anymore,' she said. 'I literally shut down in that tent and keeled over.' Marten insisted Victoria was warm, fed and protected and said she neglected taking care of herself because she was focused on her child.
