The Prosecutors: Real Crime and Punishment: The Charge

INHALT

New series. Documentary going behind-the-scenes of The Crown Prosecution Service, revealing how Britain's criminal justice system really works and what it takes to secure a conviction. In this edition, the prosecutors must decide how to charge a driver after a child is killed in a collision, with no evidence that he was drunk, speeding, or using his mobile phone. Another case sees the prosecutors select the right charge for an organised criminal gang that has been blowing up cash machines to steal money. Plus, community members challenge a CPS charging decision in a hate crime, where a man posted abusive messages on an extremist website.
