The Jury Australia: Death on the Staircase
The Death
Season 1 Episode 1 of 5
A 65-year-old man is found dead at the bottom of the stairs in his Sydney home and his distraught partner is arrested. Has a tragic accident taken place, or has a homicide been committed? This re-enactment of a real manslaughter trial challenges 12 everyday Australians to reach their verdict on a jury. Real court transcripts recreate the case, but with actors, exploring how juries work and whether they might reach the same conclusions as the original trial. With Sky Dominic and Ivano Del Pio. Narrated by Brooke Satchwell
The Jury Australia: Death on the Staircase airs on Channel 4 at 10:00 PM, Friday 29 August. (Subtitles, new, series, audio description.)
