The role of the family court in deciding to return Ellie to her parents will not be considered in the inquest. Ellie was returned to her parents in November 2012 after a court quashed Butler’s conviction for violently shaking her when she was a baby. It was both a joy and a privilege to have known her, and I am enormously proud that she was my granddaughter,” Neal Gray told the Guardian. “There is, in my mind, no plausible justification for the order to return Ellie to her mother. Most importantly, we seek justice for Ellie, and peace for Neal Gray.”
