Just before 5pm on 27 November 2000, ten-year old Damilola Taylor was walking home from Peckham Library in Southeast London when he was attacked with a glass bottle. He was found in a stairwell at the North Peckham Estate and taken to Kings College Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

In this episode, we are at the Old Bailey, speaking to a former juror from the first Damilola Taylor trial, where four young defendants were acquitted of his murder.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Jurors in the UK are never allowed to talk about what happens inside the jury room during deliberations — that’s protected by law under the Contempt of Court Act. What you’ll hear in this episode are one juror’s memories of being in court for a trial at the Old Bailey: the atmosphere, the evidence as it was presented, and the emotions around such a high-profile case. These are his personal reflections only, and don’t represent the views of any other jurors in the trial.
