DId anybody watch 'Consent' on channel 4 last night, it was on from 10 o clock to twelve?
It destracted my attention from my routine of CSI double bill and enticed me into watching it... It was a story about a court trial for a s3xual assault charge.
The case was made up and acted out by actors/actresses but the jury was a real one and they didn't know the case was made up for a TV documentary/drama.
The trial was cleverly done by the program in a way which it gripped the viewer like we were one of the jury... I got beat by the verdict, and so did the jury!
I swore blind it was not-guilty and all evidence and mannerisms about the 2 parties pointed towards the woman lying and the man in distress at being sent to prison for something he didn't do.
My verdict if I were to be in that jury was one of 'Not Guilty' and when the verdict was given and the final credits streamed up the telly, I sat with a slight satisfaction that I was right... then after the credits finished, a sub-scene appeared showing the man ebing told to stop and the woman having her mouth covered... I was wrong - I guess my question is to everyone firstly did you watch it and secondly was you right in your verdict?
