When the jury spokesperson announced the guilty verdict, Kelly crumbled and it was up to her foster mother, Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor), to offer comfort before Kelly was taken away to a holding cell before being transported to prison.
Kelly spoke to Imran Habeeb (Charlie De Melo), her foster father and lawyer, before being sentenced about how she wanted an apprenticeship and had many aspirations for her life. Kelly recognised if she got a life sentence then she would be approximately 30-years-old before being released and all her school friends would be married and have children.
Corey, who killed Harry Visinoni's character, walked away unpunished and Kelly was forced to start a life sentence in prison for something she never did.
After being taken to a medical facility for evaluation, a member of staff from the prison telephoned a figuratively floored Toyah to tell her about Kelly's near-fatality. Toyah told Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) about what happened before leaving to see Kelly.
