The emergency call was so "incredibly calm" that a senior medic thought it was "false alarm", jurors were told.Medics called to the address in Frosterley Drive found nothing blocking the youngster's airway and tests later revealed Charlie had suffered an "unsurvivable" brain injury."In a very short time - for that is all it takes to lose one's temper - he must have assaulted Charlie by shaking or throwing him with considerable force.
He added: "The force to cause those devastating injuries would have caused Charlie to collapse almost immediately.Prosecutors said Charlie had been subjected to "cruel and uncaring" injuries in the seven months before his death. Roberts, who was at an eye appointment when Charlie was allegedly fatally attacked, eventually admitted cruelly neglecting her son.Ken Greenwell, Charlie's paternal grandad, told how the youngster appeared hungry on weekly visits to their home with "pitifully thin" arms and legs.
Jurors were also told how Roberts installed a spy camera above his cot in September last year after her relationship with Stockton "became rocky".
