A new dinner experience is heading to Liverpool this year which allows diners to become the jury in a live murder trial.
Murder Trial Live will see attendees decide the guilt or innocence of Mr Frank Lane, who is accused of murdering his wife Alison.
The experience is produced by leading barristers, including the barrister behind the production of the hit Channel 4’s series ‘The Trial -a murder in the family’.
Executive Producer Samuel Piri, said: "There’s a real current appetite for crime and justice programmes at the moment and we wanted to test how fit for purpose our justice system is in this modern age.
"The fascinating thing about this experiment is that the same trial and evidence could produce different verdicts in different locations – it’s fascinating."
The trial will begin where the prosecution and defence will call witnesses to the stand to give evidence for the prosecution’s case.
This evidence will be cross-examined by the defence and you (the jury) must make up your mind - innocent or guilty?
Tickets cost £55 and include a two-course meal before the trial begins. Jurors can sign up to take part at www.themurdertriallive.co.uk.
