The Jury: Murder Trial

The trial begins as the juries hear the evidence of a husband, John, whos killed his wife, Helen, with a hammer but denies murder. Divisions and disagreements soon form between the two juries...

The prosecution cross-examine the defendant. The jurors become increasingly divided and a character statement leaves both juries conflicted. With the verdict approaching, will they reach the same one?

A word-by-word restaging of a real-life murder trial, in which a young mother find herself in the dock after stabbing her boyfriend in the chest with a kitchen knife. She says it was self-defence - but the ultimate decision lies with the jury, made up of 12 local members of the public. Will they reach the same verdict as the original trial?

The prosecution cross-examine the defendant, trying to demonstrate that the defendant is lying about the night of the murder. They present evidence of her previous violent behaviour and challenge her over the lies she told to police and emergency services about her boyfriends death. Tempers flare in the jury room, as jurors increasingly disagree with each other. An argument leads to tears, and rival groups begin to accuse the others of failing to assess the evidence properly
