Sit on the jury when a new murder trial live experience comes to Lincoln. The ITAE Group is seeking 150 jurors at the world first experiment at various locations across the UK and Ireland.
The Murder Trial Live 2019 will take place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel on Saturday, September 14 from 6pm-10.30pm.
Working with a team of leading criminal barristers the jury will see the murder trial unravel before their eyes. Before the trial begins there will be a two-course meal.
After the meal, defendant Frank Lane will be called to the stand and the prosecution and defence barristers will lead the jury through the evidence.
The live trial for the experiment is about Lane, who is in police custody awaiting trial charged with the murder of his wife Alison Lane on March 25, 2017. Alison went missing in March 27 and has never been heard of since. Her body has never been found.
The experiment will test the robustness of the UK Jury system. It will test the outcome at 40 replicated experiments all over the UK and each with a different jury.
It is produced by a team of leading criminal barristers, including the barrister behind the production of the hit Channel 4 series ‘The Trial – a murder in the family’. The evidence presented and the people involved are all authentic and, as in a real trial, the jury will deliberate before giving a verdict.
The Murder Trial Live is produced by the ITAE Group, the award winning producers of sell out UK tour Anatomy Lab LIVE and The VIVIT Experience who recently featured on BBC Dragons’ Den securing investment from Deborah Meaden and Peter Jones.
Executive Producer Samuel Piri said: “There’s a real current appetite for crime and justice programmes at the moment and we wanted to test how fit for purpose our justice system is in this modern age.
“The fascinating thing about this experiment is that the same trial and evidence could produce different verdicts in different locations – it’s fascinating.”

From 4am on Tuesday, December 7, anyone wishing to travel to the UK must show proof of a negative PCR or LFD pre-departure test, taken no earlier than 48 hours before departure. This applies to vaccinated passengers and children aged 12 and above.
Nigeria will slo be added to the travel red list from 4am Monday, December 6, following 21 cases of Omicron reported in England which are linked to travel from this country, with 134 UK cases now reported in total.
New Government analysis indicates the window between infection and infectiousness may be shorter for the Omicron COVID variant, which increases the efficacy of pre-departure testing as it is more likely to identify positive cases before travel.
Airlines will be required to check for pre-departure tests alongside completed Passenger Locator Form, and passengers will not be allowed to board a flight without providing evidence of a negative test result.
Given the reduced incubation period of the Omicron variant, passengers are advised to take the pre-departure test as close as possible to their scheduled departure to the UK and no earlier than 48 hours before travelling.
The Government said these additional measures are vital to delay the import of additional cases and slow the rise in cases within the UK.
All temporary measures will be reviewed after three weeks to ensure that they remain necessary and proportionate, and this will take place on December 20.
Animal Protection Services is offering a reward of up to £1,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of people involved in badger baiting following an incident in Lincolnshire.
A badger was rescued by Lincolnshire Badger Group from a warehouse in Market Rasen, which had suffered injuries that were consistent with badger baiting.
Badger baiting is a form of blood sport that involves a dog being forced to fight with a badger.
Unfortunately, due the serious injuries sustained, the vet was forced to euthanise the badger.
Jacob Lloyd, a trustee of Animal Protection Services, said: “Badger baiting is a horrific cruel blood sport that affects the welfare of dogs and badgers.
“These wild animals will suffer immensely in the moments’ leading up to their deaths.
“This is a despicable crime that was made illegal in 1835. Despite it being illegal, we are hearing of more badger baiting cases than ever before.”
“We are offering a reward of up to £1,000 for information leading to a conviction of badger baiting.
“All of the information that is provided to us will be treated in the strictest confidence and any source may wish to remain anonymous.”
Anyone with information should call Animal Protection Services on 020 4534 2786 or send information by email to [email protected].
