The Verdict is probably the best thing I've watched on TV for a long time (so good I even missed ER for it tonight). Briefly, a mixed bag twelve 'famous' people make up the jury for a rape trial. The defendents and the victim are actors but the judge, barristers, court officials and the court itself are real and the trial is unscripted and conducted as though it were real. It makes for fascinating viewing, not only to see how such a trial works, but also to listen to the evidence and form opinions on who is telling the truth or not.
At the moment I'm coming down on the side of Anna, the 'victim', but I think I'm basing that mostly on gut feeling rather than the actual evidence. It will be interesting to see what tomorrows sessions bring!
