The end of the trial where the jury announce their verdict on the brutal rape case is on tonight at 9pm on BBC2.

BBC - BBC TWO - The Verdict

Will the accused be found guilty or not guilty?

I thought this program to be a low key serious attempt at looking at the dilemma of rape.
I read in my paper the other day it was a sensational salacious viewing figure grabbing joke.
Apart from being a jury of well known people and a bit drawn out, I thought it was achieving what it set out to do......drawing attention to the problems in convicting date rape type cases.

I would convict.

Yawwnnnn! Watched for the first half hour, then decided to watch something that might keep me awake.

All you have to do is look at who's on the jury and you know what kind of a program it is, pathetic.

Frigging magistrate!
Are you trying to get some clues?

I think you need some.

I think the producers wanted a variety of people with totally different perspectives to sit as the jury. I don't see how that made it pathetic. This show was an example of what happens at trial involving cases of rape allegations and how difficult a task it is for the jury to come to a verdict. It was a quite serious programme, considering its applications.

Oh well, perhaps I'm just a sad wannabe Magistrate, which is why I thought The Verdict was one of the best shows on T.V ever!

To tell you the truth I didn't watch any of it.

I saw the names of some of the people on the 'jury' and decided I'd watch something far more intellectual like re-runs of Dirty Sanchez.
Now that's something to make you proud to be Welsh!
