A father on trial for his daughter’s death insists it was an accident during a playful moment, but prosecutors argue otherwise in court.
Scarlett, just 14, died after being stabbed in the heart. Vickers claims he accidentally threw a knife while they were having fun. But prosecutors argue the wound was too deep for it to be an accident.
Vickers shared that he and Scarlett were just messing around. They were throwing grapes and having a laugh when things took a terrible turn. He said he didn’t even know there was a knife nearby until he saw blood.
He described how he and Scarlett’s mom were cooking when she came down feeling bored. They decided to have some fun, but it ended in tragedy. Vickers insists he never meant to hurt her and was just trying to have a good time.
He got emotional in court, recalling how Scarlett was just lying there, not responding. He called for help, but it was too late. Vickers said he would never intentionally harm his daughter.
The trial is ongoing, and it’s a heartbreaking situation for everyone involved.
