The CPS Official at Weatherfield Crown Court saw Julie Carp and Brian Packham when they urgently requested to provide information at the trial of Tyrone Dobbs in March 2013. Tyrone was accused of assaulting his girlfriend Kirsty Soames but he protested that he was the only who was constantly being beaten by her during their relationship. Julie firmly believed Kirsty's side of the story until she saw her in one of her fits of rage and, when she confronted her about it, was assaulted herself. Julie and her boyfriend Brian Packham rushed to the court where they told the official their story. She symapathised with her but told her that the event had no bearing on the guilt or innocence of Tyrone and that she should file a complaint with the police herself against Kirsty.
