Channel 4 viewers say same thing about The Jury Murder Trial series two after first episode

Channel 4 viewers all said the same thing as they watched the first episode of The Jury: Murder Trial series two.

This BAFTA-winning showreturned on Tuesday (August 26) night with the real-life trial of a young mother called Sophie who stabbed her boyfriend Ryan in the chest with a kitchen knife. She says it was self-defence but is she telling the truth?

The trial has been restaged using original court transcript with actors, but will the jury made up of 12 members of the public agree with the verdict of the original trial?

Watching the trial in Liverpool Crown Court are ordinary people from the local area.

As the prosecution laid out their case, the jurors immediately started to draw different conclusions from the evidence.

Some suspected the defendant was a victim of domestic abuse but others weren't so sure.

In the first series, the juries were confronted with a case involving a husband who had killed his wife but denied it was murder and fans have shared their disappointment

After listening to the defence and prosecution's cross-examination, they retreated to the deliberation room to hammer out a verdict - but did it align with the other jury's decision?

The second series followed a similar patter but this time there's just one jury instead of two.

Towards the end of the first episode, actress Karen Henthorn appeared in the dock as Sophie's grandmother Mary and fans quickly recognised her and shared their observation on social media.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one penned: "Julie what are you doing here #TheJuryC4."

Another added: "Julie from EastEnders turning up on #TheJuryC4!!."

A third person joked: "Excuse me get back to Nigel bet he’s gone missing now ffs #THEJURYC4."

Karen recently returned to EastEnders as Julie Bates to find her husband Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley) who has Dementia.

The show will air over four consecutive nights.

The Jury: Murder Trial is available to watch and stream on Channel 4 from Tuesday, August 26 at 9pm
