Father sentenced to life for daughter's fatal "play fight" injury during family gathering.

Simon Vickers, 50, was sentenced to life with a minimum of 15 years for murdering his 14-year-old daughter, Scarlett, in a "play fight" gone wrong. The family was allegedly watching the Euros and consuming alcohol and cannabis when the incident occurred. Despite claims it was an accident, forensic evidence showed the wound was inflicted with force. Vickers' wife, Sarah Hall, continues to support him, believing he would never harm their daughter. The court found Vickers guilty by a 10-2 majority.
