An avid viewer of true crime films and documentaries or always fancied doing jury service but not been asked to yet?
If the answer is yes to either of those questions, you'll want a piece of the action when a brand new dinner show arrives in Newcastle this summer that lets guests be the jury.
Innocent or guilty… you decide…
Ever wondered what it’s like to sit on a jury? Or to assess the evidence and convict a criminal? Well now you can. The Murder Trial live is touring the UK thanks to ITAE Group, the team behind the already successful Anatomy Lab LIve.
Following an evening meal you will become the jury and the decision, quite literally will be yours.
Working with a team of leading criminal barristers, the completely accurate murder trial will unravel right before your eyes… but before the court room drama unfolds you’ll enjoy a two course meal with your fellow jurors. When dinner is finished defendant Mr Frank Lane will be called to the stand before prosecution and defence barristers will lead you through the evidence.
The back story is...
'Frank Lane is currently in police custody awaiting trial, charged with the murder of his wife Alison Lane. Alison’s body has never been found.
Mr & Mrs Lane we’re married for 20 years and Mr Lane owned several businesses including a coach and haulage firm as well as a small agricultural plant.
Alison went missing in March 2017 had has never been heard of since.'
For the first time ever outside of the legal system you will experience the theatre and debate of the UK justice system.
You will experience the presence of a convicted murder as well as analyse the evidence put before you.
As a jury you’ll retire to debate and decide the evidence put before you before reaching a decision… innocent or guilty you decide…
* The Murder Trial Live is at the Village Hotel, near Silverlink, on Sunday, August 11.
Tickets, priced from £52 are on sale now online from Eventbrite
