Episode 8: Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury

Available for over a year

After the cacophony and the chaos of the trial, the jury retire, and the agonising wait begins. Herding twelve strangers into a room and asking them to solve a crime would end in mayhem if we did not provide them with some rules. And the person who sets the rules is the Judge. Defence Barrister Joanna Hardy-Susskind lifts the curtain on the real criminal justice system and the real people working within it - beneath the wigs, behind the uniforms and in the dock. Presenter: Joanna Hardy-Susskind Producer: Georgia Catt Assistant Producer: Danita McIntyre
