The Jury: Murder Trial UK on SBS and SBS on Demand S2E4 – This BAFTA-winning series returns with a gripping restaging of a real-life murder case – with actors – and a jury of 12 ordinary people.
A young mother says she killed her boyfriend in self-defence, but is she telling the truth? Will the jury deliver justice with their decision, and will they agree with the verdict of the original trial?
Filmed in Liverpool’s former Crown Court, the case is based on actual court transcripts of a real case, though names, dates and locations have been changed. The series offers unprecedented access as it is illegal to observe jurors in a real trial – but in this series we can watch as every court session unfolds.
From the very start, the courtroom is a battleground for conflicting interpretations and moral beliefs. This experiment in justice, tests the core of the justice system.
Season Two, Episode Four: The Verdict
After a final, surprising new piece of evidence from the defence, both sides present their closing arguments. The jurors retire to consider their verdict. Arguments break out, and the foreperson is forced to plead for calm. Will the deadlocked, bitterly opposed jurors be able to find common ground, and deliver justice? Or will they fail to deliver a verdict at all?
