The Killer You Know
When it comes to murder, the biggest threat isn’t from a complete stranger – it’s often right in front of you. Contrary to popular belief, most people aren’t murdered by a random psychopath, but rather by someone the victim knows well. A spouse, a coworker, a jealous ex – these are people that were once loved and trusted, held close to the victim’s heart. But relationships sometimes sour and resentment can take root. And sometimes love and affection can turn into murder. Each episode of this series shows three gripping stories of the ultimate betrayal by THE KILLER YOU KNOW.

The Jury: Murder Trial
ScreenDog Productions
8 x 60' HD
THE JURY: MURDER TRIAL is a ground-breaking experiment that asks profound questions about how we administer justice - by putting the jury system itself on trial. For the first time ever, we examine the fairness of the system, and the inner workings of justice in the UK. Filmed over ten days, a real murder trial is recreated word-for-word from the original transcripts, and two randomly-chosen juries, neither of whom are aware of the other, are asked to judge. The case? A man who admits he killed his wife, but whose defence maintains that he lost control, and is therefore not guilty of murder. What will the two juries decide, and why? How well will they follow the complexities of the law? And after they have deliberated, will they agree with each other’s verdicts?
