The Jury: Skeleton in the Garden

5 x 54 MIN |  2026 | PRODUCED FOR SBS

When a woman’s remains are unearthed in a suburban backyard a decade after she vanished, twelve everyday Australians are tasked with a daunting restaging of the original manslaughter trial.

With actors recreating the proceedings word-for-word from court transcripts, these jurors must navigate a minefield of circumstantial evidence, personal bias, and the often-unseen prejudices that shape the pursuit of justice.

In this trailblazing experiment, will this jury reach the same verdict as the first trial?

Once their decision is in, a final revelation forces them to confront a chilling reality: justice and truth aren’t always the same thing.
