The Trials of Oscar Pistorius

Series 1 Episode 3

When a judge is assigned to the Oscar Pistorius trial, the world watches closely. In this case, a judge, and not a jury, decide the defendant's fate. The judge, Thokozile Masipa, is a highly respected scholar who grew up in the Soweto Township as a child of Apartheid. Despite the dignity with which she attempts to conduct the trial, no-one can stop it from becoming a televised tabloid circus.
