The Jury: Murder Trial UK

A real-life murder trial is restaged for two juries. Will they reach the same verdict? We hear the case of a husband who killed his wife with a hammer.

The juries hear the defence for a husband who killed his wife with a hammer. The defence say that husband John lost control because victim Helen made his life intolerable, which causes some of the jurors to sympathise strongly with the defendant.

The restaged murder trial progresses, as the prosecution cross-examines the defendant. The jurors continue to be divided, and a character statement leaves both juries conflicted.

The restaged murder trial reaches its conclusion, as the prosecution and defence give their closing speeches. The juries retire to decide their verdicts, but are they the same one?
