Jools Sweeney: The Continued Search for Answers
Tuesday, 18 August, 2026
In this episode Liz speaks to Ellen Roome, the mum who has spent the past four years fighting for answers about the tragic death of her 14-year-old son Jools. After an inquest that lasted just 23 minutes and failed to properly examine his phone or social media activity, Ellen has now succeeded in getting the original verdict quashed by the High Court and a new inquest opened. Ellen tells Liz why she believes social media could hold the key to understanding what happened to Jools, how her campaign has helped change the law, and why she is continuing to push for stronger protections for children online. She also gives an update on the legal action she and other bereaved parents are taking against TikTok in the US.Subscribe via https://plus.thecrimedesk.comFollow us on TikTok @DailyMailCrimeEmail us thetrial@dailymail.comWhatsApp us +447796657512 (start your message with ‘Trial’) Presenter: Liz HullGuest: Ellen RoomeEditor: Chelsey RanoreCreative Director: Caroline CheethamAssistant Producer: Harriet MuckleProduction Manager: Vittoria Cecchini A Daily Mail production.
