19. Kevin's Trial part 3
A historic allegation of (male) child sexual abuse
In this, the final part of Kevin's trial for indecent assault on a male under 14, we hear from the defendant himself, followed by judge's directions and counsels' closing speeches. We also see the jury grapple with the standard of proof and what it means to be 'sure' of guilt.
