The Jury: 14 and on Trial for Murder
9pm, Channel 4
As trial by jury comes under increased examination, this compelling series arrives back on screens at an opportune time, restaging a genuine criminal court case and tracking the 12 jurors while they deliberate on an outcome. In this edition, the proceedings against two brothers—one aged just 14—charged with murdering their stepfather trigger immediate division among the group. Arguments concerning nature versus nurture, along with retribution for the sake of punishment, surface immediately. Phil Harrison
