Justice for Nicola?

As her attackers go on trial, will they go down or walk free?

- MICHAEL DARLING

Five months after Nicola was attacked by a gang of girls, the ordeal continues to haunt her and has made her prone to panic attacks. This week, however, she hopes to finally get some closure when her attackers go on trial.

'Nicola doesn't want to face these girls, but knows that she has to,' says Nicola Wheeler, who plays her. 'She believes facing her attackers will be good for her healing.'

Among the defendants is Charles Anderson's daughter Naomi, who admitted she was there but denied being involved in the attack on Nicola.

Later, however, after giving the names of the other girls to the police, Naomi found herself being arrested for GBH when they falsely claimed that she was involved.
