The Jury: Death on the Staircase
In this first recreation of the thrilling THE JURY format, a jury of 12 ordinary citizens are presented with a mystifying death, and a defendant whose fate is now in their hands. Recreating a real case through the original court transcript, we get behind the scenes to explore the criminal process, and the human element involved in a jury of peers rendering a verdict. We watch how this cohort of twelve strangers interpret confounding evidence, judge the motives and expertise of witnesses and decode the cleverness of defence and prosecution tactics. Finally, we follow them to their verdict and decide ourselves if the work of a jury equates to the best version of justice being done. *Format Available Nominations: 2025 Rockie Awards: Best Reality Series
