The Trials of Oscar Pistorius
Season 1 Episode 3 of 4
A judge is appointed to decide the outcome of the trial rather than a jury, with the task falling to Thokozile Masipa, a highly respected scholar who grew up in the Soweto Township as a child of Apartheid. Despite the dignity with which she attempts to conduct the trial, no-one can stop it from becoming a televised tabloid circus as testimonies provide a shocking insight into Pistorius' character
The Trials of Oscar Pistorius airs on BBC Four HD at 12:55 AM, Wednesday 27 August. (Subtitles, audio description.)
