High-profile murder trials are under the microscope…
The Trouble With Murder is a forensic analysis of murder case-law examining the chilling crimes that raise questions about the way murderers are convicted and punished. In the gripping three-part series, the sentences handed down in some of New Zealand’s highest profile cases come under the spotlight.
Each conviction offers clues from its’ own era, as social attitudes to crime and rehabilitation change down the generations. From capital punishment to parole, ‘life’ sentences to life inside. Poignant perspectives from victims’ families and eyewitness accounts add the human face to storytelling that tackles half a century of murder case-law, as told by legal experts, justice insiders and convicted criminals.
