Limited Series – Drama
Accused
Innocent, guilty or somewhere in between?
Intriguing drama Accused centres on a number of holding cells of a high court. In each cell sits a person standing trial, accused of committing a crime and now awaiting the verdict.
At the start of each episode, an officer calls out a name – and in one of the cells, the accused stands. They are told the jury is returning. Their cell door is opened and they begin the long walk to the dock. As they pass through the gates, we begin to learn the story of their crime – in flashback. In the courtroom, we see a cast of characters and in flashback we discover how these people fit into the story of the crime.
Weaving tales of fascinating hypothetical scenarios, Accused is a gripping blend of true-to-life situations, moral dilemmas and intriguing characters.
