Criminal Justice – Season 1

The first series was composed of five episodes, which were broadcast nightly from 30 June to 4 July 2008 on BBC One. The first series starred Ben Whishaw as Ben Coulter, a young man who is accused of murder after a drunken and drug-filled night out, though is unable to remember committing the crime.

 

As well as Whishaw, the show starred Pete Postlethwaite, Con O’Neill, Lindsay Duncan, David Westhead, Ruth Negga and Bill Paterson.

 

Ben Coulter takes his parents’ black cab out for the night. At a traffic light, a young woman gets into the cab. Despite telling her he does not take fares, she insists on going to the seaside. While there, she offers Ben ecstasy, which he accepts.

 

The pair go back to her house, and after sleeping together, Ben awakes downstairs, seeing a knife on the table at which he was sleeping. He goes upstairs to find the girl dead, with a stab wound to the chest. Police stop Ben after he crashes the taxi in shock.

 

They later find he matches a description given by a neighbour, who saw Ben break into the girl’s house to wipe his DNA off the house. They also find a knife in Ben’s pocket. He is arrested on suspicion of murder. He is later charged and refused bail.

 

Ben spends his first day in prison. He seeks protection after being beaten up by Milroy, a feared jailbird. In return for being protected, Ben must smuggle an item past the prison guard. He also re-employs his former lawyer. This episode sees the first appearance of Vineeta Rishi as Frances Kapoor, who becomes his new barrister.

 

He shares his cell mostly with Hooch, who has the status of “Listener” in the prison. His advice and support to Ben are marred by his own limitations and ties. Finally he makes the sacrifice to open the path to Ben’s release and his own absolution.

 

Ben’s expensive new barrister persuades him to plead self-defence despite his misgivings, he then takes to the witness box before returning to prison and getting into a brawl. Ben’s barrister, Frances Kapoor, appears to be the only person who believes Ben’s pleas of innocence and so tries to free him.

 

However, Ben’s solicitor persuades him to appeal on the grounds of inappropriate relationship with his (female) barrister, therefore perhaps ruining Frances’ career as a barrister. Ben is freed when CCTV evidence is eventually released, of a man who committed another murder in the area on the same night, chasing the girl Ben is accused of killing. He also got help from Hooch who demanded the name of the real murderer from another prisoner.

 

Ben wants to withdraw the chamber’s inquiry against Frances, but his solicitor says it is too late, as the ball was already rolling, and Ben should get on with his life.
