Showtrial - Complete Mini Series
[DVD]

Description

New drama from the producers of Bodyguard and Vigil. Showtrial tells the story of a murder trial that grips the nation, placing victim and accused – as well as their families – at the heart of a media storm. Talitha Campbell, the estranged daughter of a wealthy property developer, is charged with conspiring to murder fellow student Hannah Ellis. High Street criminal solicitor Cleo Roberts is on duty the night Talitha is arrested. With Talitha’s backing, against her father’s wishes, Cleo becomes the unlikely leader of her defence team against a prosecution determined to weaponise Talitha’s sexuality and privilege against her. From first arrest to jury verdict, defence and prosecution fight for their version of the real Talitha: Damaged scapegoat? Or cold-blooded killer? Exploring how identity, prejudice and the media distort the legal process, this timely drama full of dark humour and compelling characters will cast the audience as jury, and leave them fully invested in the outcome: is she guilty, or not?
