Tonight | The Jury: Skeleton in the Garden on SBS: a deadlocked jury faces its final arguments – The Australian manslaughter trial reaches its final two episodes as twelve jurors struggle with the evidence before them. It airs Monday 12 October 2026 at 7.30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand.
The programme places the burden of proof at the centre of the drama: a secret burial is disturbing, but the jury still has to decide what it establishes beyond reasonable doubt.
Episode 4 of 5
Actors restage a real trial word for word from court transcripts. The case concerns a woman whose remains were found buried in a former backyard a decade after she disappeared.
The jurors have no confirmed time, place, cause or motive of death and no direct forensic evidence to settle the central question. They must decide whether the burial proves the defendant’s guilt or whether other explanations remain possible.
Deliberations approach a deadlock as different interpretations of the same facts collide. This penultimate episode leads into Tuesday’s verdict reveal.
The Jury: Skeleton in the Garden Episode 4 of 5 airs Monday 12 October 2026 at 7.30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand.
