We then saw Meena arrive, where she commented on the \u201cpitiful turn-out\u201d in court.<\/p>\n<p>It was then time for Liam to take the stand, where he was asked to describe his daughter Leanna (Mimi Slinger) and how Meena had \u201cbrutally\u201d taken her life last year in her 18th birthday.<\/p>\n<p>All seemed to be going to plan at first as Liam explained that evil Meena had been around him constantly, enjoying his pain. Questioned further by the prosecution, he told the court of finding Manpreet and Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) tied up in the barn having almost been killed by Meena.<\/p>\n<p>But when it was the turn of Meena\u2019s barrister (Amy Robbins), things took a nasty turn. Liam was asked about waking up in bed with Meena \u2013 which viewers will remember was all a part of her twisted attempt to get pregnant after she lied that she was expecting Billy Fletcher\u2019s (Jay Kontzle) baby.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><strong><a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/emmerdale\/emmerdale-meena-plot-redeem-comment\/&quot;\">How Emmerdale\u2019s Meena twist redeems killer plot<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul><p>The defence took every opportunity to paint Liam as a cheat, as well as bringing up Meena\u2019s accusation that Liam had pushed her off the bridge. Luckily for Liam \u2013 <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/emmerdale\/is-meena-dead-emmerdale-newsupdate\/&quot;\">who did indeed push the killer after she revelled in Leanna\u2019s murder<\/a> \u2013 this claim was dismissed in court as Liam had already been cleared of all charges.<\/p> <p>As a result of all this, Liam snapped, and Meena took her chance to feign feeling \u201cintimidated\u201d by Liam as he loudly called her out on what she did to Leanna. The judge ordered that Meena should be granted a break, and Liam was left pleading with everyone to listen.<\/p>\n<p>With his testimony falling flat, how will Liam cope with the fall-out of losing his temper? Has he destroyed any chance of getting justice for his unthinkable loss, or can Manpreet help bring Meena down once and for all?<\/p>\n<section class=\"&quot;template-article__editor-content\" editor-content=\"\" ev-meter-content=\"\"><strong>Visit our dedicated\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/news\/soaps\/emmerdale\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\">Emmerdale<\/a>\u00a0page for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.\u00a0If you\u2019re looking for more to watch check out our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">TV Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/section><section><div class=\"&quot;editor-content\" mb-lg=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" js-piano-locked-content=\"\">\n<p><strong>The latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0<a title=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription\/&quot;\" href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\" data-auth=\"&quot;NotApplicable&quot;\" data-linkindex=\"&quot;0&quot;\">subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door.
