Not sure whether I'll stick it out,I'll decide after tonight's episode. It may be more interesting when we learn who the father of the baby is. One thing I don't understand - if it is supposed to let us know exactly how a court works, how come someone accused of murder is allowed to wander off for a break - 'be back in about 10 minutes' he was told. Surely he would be brought up to the dock by police/prison warders and if there was a break, then taken off into custody by them again.
Anybody have any clues after last nights episode?
Could the news of the boyfriend be a red herring, or were his tears put on in his interview.
I must say, the way its filmed with the jury just acting normal makes it look so real, and the barristers cross examining, just shows you how the facts can make you sway different ways.
Great stuff.

Morning Georgie,
Unless I got mixed up, didn't the DNA results give a higher % that it was the husbands, or was that the evidence from the back of the neck?
I was surprised that the husband, and b/f were able to be in the same area/space outside the courtroom, as there could have been an altercation, in real life?
AS for the violent history's, the husbands was a slap/smack, the b/fs was GBH, but if I was a cop, I would probably get done for that, seeing what crap they get from a/holes on the streets theses days :-)
A break for lunch your honor !...

I would have said “not guilty” on the evidence presented.
I like the way we were shown what really happened, though.
Having listened to the deliberations, and the personal reasons that so many jury members used to decide their verdict, it made me realise what an unreliable method of justice it is.
Anyone else think it’s time wigs and robes in the courtroom were ditched. They must get so hot!

I agree in a way Bigbad, as the barristers in their chosen twisted words, can change your thoughts.
I dont think you can compare the husbands violence, to the b/fs violence.
So was the jogger lying, saying he saw him because he didnt like him?
The stats at the end, I think, said that 80% of male jurors find male defendants not guilty, in domestic crimes.
In the link I posted, it said the children gave evidence, which I didnt see, or hear.
What other way could a fair trial be held, some Country's just have a panel of 4, or 6 prominent people?
As for the wigs, I thought it was a choice now.
I would have found him not guilty, so I would have been wrong!

I still don't understand how someone accused of murder is allowed to turn up to court under his own steam, be allowed to wander the corridors of the court house and not be kept under lock and key in the cells under the outcome of the court case. If this happened in 'real life', wouldn't it be too tempting for an accused to just scarper?
trt,
I think it is the barristers job to try and change your thoughts, but some of those jurors based their conclusions on gut feelings, and an event that happened to someone they once knew.
I’ve never done jury service, but if I do, I would like to think I would base my findings on the evidence presented. Having said that, I said “not guilty, ” so I was wrong too!
No ideas as to what the alternative could be, though.

Foxlee, this was what I wrote in an earlier post above.

Apart from that, I thoroughly enjoyed the drama, and how they showed the accused in his earlier days, and the b/f playing with the wife & kids. Hope there's another one.
