In this episode Caroline and Liz examine the opening of the prosecution case as it was presented to the court. They reveal how the jury heard that Brianna was stabbed 28 times before she died. And how the two teenagers accused of Brianna’s murder were preoccupied with violence and torture and allegedly plotted to kill up to five different people in the days before her death. The Trial...takes listeners behind the headlines and into the courtrooms of some of the biggest trials in the world. The first series ‘The Trial of Lucy Letby’ was a global hit, with more than 13 million downloads, while season two focused on the murder of Ashling Murphy, a 23-year-old teacher from Ireland. Its third season follows the tragic case of Brianna Ghey, a 16-year-old transgender girl killed in Warrington, England.
