With murder convictions handed down today following a month-long trial over the violent death of Rotorua toddler Nia Glassie, the question of why she suffered is being asked.
Crown prosecutor Fletcher Pilditch told TV3's Campbell Live he struggled to answer that question.
"Even though I was there for the three and a half weeks of the evidence that the jury heard, much of what the court is concerned with is the what happened to Nia and who was responsible for it."
Mr Pilditch said the question of why it happened was one he had started turning in his mind after the verdicts were announced.
