Season 1
The prosecution cross-examines John, saying he provoked Helen and was simply angry. 19 year old Ollie in the blue jury is convinced it's murder, but is dismissed for not understanding the complexity of adult relationships.
The defence argue John was provoked into killing his wife, convincing some of the jurors, but not all. The defence say John lost control because victim Helen made his life intolerable. John's description of her 'fat' taunts moves juror Jodie to tears, as she recalls her own previous marriage.
A husband killed his wife with a hammer, but denied murder. In an extraordinary legal experiment, his real-life trial is being restaged by actors - word for word - in front of two juries of ordinary people, neither of whom know about each other.
