The Jury: Murder Trial

synopsis

This four-part social experiment aimed to explore the British jury system. It used a reconstruction of an actual murder trial. Two juries watch the proceedings from separate rooms, but without knowing each other. The series aims to see if they reach the same decision, the same verdict. The four episodes are divided into Crime, Defence, Prosecution and Verdict. On the one hand, the members of the jury are people who hold firm positions and make decisions based on their own worldview or life experiences; others are easily swayed by various evidence and the opinions of others.
