Justice is an omnipresent theme in any true crime story. It's part of what helps to move any case towards a satisfactory conclusion: once we understand what crimes have been committed, we instinctively want the bad people to be punished for them. The legal process that brings this about is a big part of a story like this. As the drama reaches its conclusion it is worth unpicking exactly why it happened like it did, and how you go about turning that often technical detail into compelling television.
At the same time, we need to be aware that there is more than one kind of justice. Beyond the details revealed by solicitors and detectives, as they absorb the case the viewer develops a larger sense of what is right and just, separate to a verdict that is handed down in court. Is it ever justified for an abuse victim to take justice into her own hands, as Susan Edwards claims to have done after decades of provocation? In this episode we look at the different ways that justice is served, or not, in this story. Plus, we take a deeper look at how the writers and creatives decided to end their story in such a surprising style that asks questions of the case and of the whole nature of the true crime genre itself.
Caroline Crampton is joined by Landscapers creator Ed Sinclair, local journalist Andy Done-Johnson and cinematographer Erik Wilson
