Overview
- Both episodes of Caroline Flack: Search For The Truth are now streaming on Disney+, presenting a family-led re-examination of the 2019 case.
- Previously unseen video recorded days after her arrest shows Flack describing losing work and enduring abuse, saying she had never hurt anyone except herself.
- Former CPS chief crown prosecutor Nazir Afzal argues a caution would likely have been appropriate, while a former Met detective and Flack’s agent question how psychiatric evidence was handled.
- Coverage and the series reiterate that Flack hit Lewis Burton with a phone, not a lamp, and note the coroner’s finding that the certainty of prosecution and expected publicity contributed to her death.
- The Met says reviews found no officer misconduct and apologises for missing documentation of its appeal rationale, as the CPS maintains the prosecution was correctly brought based on medical opinion, while some unnamed friends criticize the film for omitting aspects of Flack’s lifestyle.
