Showtrial
Every now and then a trial starts which grips the nation, placing victim and accused - as well as their families - at the heart of a media storm. Showtrial focuses on one such case, when Talitha Campbell, the arrogant daughter of a wealthy entrepreneur, is arrested following the disappearance of fellow student, Hannah Ellis, the hard-working daughter of a single mother. From Talitha's arrest to the jury's final verdict, Showtrial switches between both sides of the legal battle, as defence and prosecution fight for their version of what really happened to Hannah, and the truth about Talitha: falsely accused? Or callous murderer?
When one student disappears and another is arrested, the stage is set for a case that will divide the nation. Can solicitor Cleo protect her client when new evidence emerges?
Cleo puts pressure on the police case as Talitha threatens to slip from Cassidy’s grasp, but a surprise arrest of a third suspect offers a new theory about what happened to Hannah.
With the murder trial fast approaching, Cleo must confront a fresh press scandal that throws a new and damning light on Talitha’s motives.
A sensational trial starts with the Prosecution team seeking to prove that Talitha and Dhillon murdered Hannah Ellis together.
Time is running out for Cleo and Talitha as the trial reaches its explosive conclusion and the jury must decide: did she do it?
