The Jury is back tonight with a new four-part series, 14 and on Trial for Murder. The BAFTA-winning Channel 4 programme returns on Tuesday, 1 September at 9pm, with the opening episode beginning a new murder trial before the series continues across the next two weeks.

This time, the case involves a 14-year-old defendant on trial for murder, with the programme once again following the evidence presented in court and the reactions of the jury tasked with deciding the outcome. With only four episodes, viewers will not have long to wait before the verdict is reached.

What Is The Jury: 14 and on Trial for Murder About?

The new series centres on the trial of two brothers accused of killing their stepfather, with one of the defendants just 14 years old. The brothers admit causing his death, leaving the jury to consider the circumstances surrounding what happened and decide how they view the case.

As with previous series of The Jury, the programme recreates a real murder trial and allows ordinary members of the public to hear the evidence before reaching their verdict. Much of the series focuses not only on the case itself but on how individual jurors interpret the same evidence, where they disagree and how their opinions change during the trial.

For CultureCues, The Jury is one of those programmes that is very difficult not to get drawn into. Hearing the same evidence as the jurors and inevitably forming your own opinion at home makes every new development feel important, and this sounds like an especially difficult case for them to consider. With four episodes across two weeks, we will definitely be following this one through to the verdict.
