Criminal Justice

At the end of an uncharacteristic, drug and drink-fuelled night out, 21 year old Ben finds himself charged with murder.

Ben's new barrister, Alison Slaughter, hits on a defence which, if it works, will see Ben set free.

Ben takes the stand and the formidable prosecution barrister, Painter, starts to take Ben's good character apart.

Ben's day of reckoning arrives and whilst Stone endeavours to find more and increasingly desperate ways of getting his client released, Frances goes searching for the truth.
