After two weeks of evidence, the jury sit down for one last session. Each of the advocates reads a carefully curated closing speech - summarising all the key evidence and reminding the jury of the facts. But who will have the most compelling argument? Will any of the speeches sway jurors one way, or another? With nothing more to be said, the jury step away to deliberate in secret. When they return - the fate of the three accused will be revealed. Innocent, or guilty - do you think justice has been done? Presented by: Jane MacSorley and Tommy Ross KC Written and Produced by: Darrell Brown Production Manager: Eilidh Hart Executive Producer: Iain Scollay Commissioning Editor: Heather Kane-Darling A Firecrest Films Production for BBC Sounds
