E4
After a final, surprising new piece of evidence from the defence, both sides present their closing arguments. The jurors retire to consider their verdict. Arguments break out, and the foreperson is forced to plead for calm. Can the deadlocked, bitterly opposed jurors find common ground and deliver justice? Conversely, there remains the possibility that they may fail to deliver a verdict at all.
E3
The prosecution cross-examine the defendant, trying to demonstrate that the defendant is lying about the night of the murder. They present evidence of her previous violent behaviour and challenge her over the lies she told to police and emergency services about her boyfriend's death. Tempers flare in the jury room, as jurors increasingly disagree with each other. An argument leads to tears, and rival groups begin to accuse the others of failing to assess the evidence properly.
E2
The jury are presented with evidence of the victim's previous violent behaviour - including CCTV footage from the night of the killing itself. Some jurors believe the defendant, and are convinced she is a victim of domestic abuse. But others suspect she is lying, and think the evidence doesn't fully add up. As the divide in the jury deepens, alliances and friendships begin to form.
E1

She says it was self-defence - but the ultimate decision lies with the jury, made up of 12 local members of the public. Will they reach the same verdict as the original trial?
