Criminal Justice – Season 2

A second series of the drama was commissioned by the BBC and was broadcast from 5–9 October 2009 as part of the BBC’s autumn drama line-up. It returned with another five episodes, starring Maxine Peake as Juliet Miller.

 

The series follows Juliet as she struggles to lead a normal life and, after stabbing her abusive husband, following her trail through the criminal justice system. Matthew Macfadyen plays Joe, a barrister at the height of his professional powers. He is married to Juliet who is fragile and isolated at home.

 

They have one daughter, 13-year-old Ella, played by Alice Sykes. Other cast members include Sophie Okonedo, Denis Lawson, Steven MacKintosh, Eddie Marsan, Zoe Telford and Kate Hardie.

 

Juliet prepares for her husband, Joe’s, return from work. He arrives with flowers and greets wife and daughter but both seem jumpy. Unsettling clues as to what might be going on are revealed and that night, Juliet stabs Joe. She calls the emergency services but leaves the house and her daughter finds Joe seriously injured and removes the knife, before being instructed not to.

 

The police and paramedics take Joe to hospital and Ella is taken to the police station. Juliet eventually arrives at the hospital where Joe is in intensive care, and is arrested. While in custody, she behaves abnormally, leading her solicitor to question her mental state, but she admits stabbing Joe in a second interview, without her solicitor.

 

Juliet’s solicitor asks that Juliet be released on bail but this is refused due to fears of her absconding or attempting contact with Ella and/or Joe. Ella goes into emergency care but soon moves in with her best friend’s family, suffering nightmares about the way she found Joe.

 

She visits Juliet in prison but the visit only makes matters worse, thanks to Juliet’s lack of remorse. Her solicitor tries to get Juliet to talk about her and Joe’s marriage but get nowhere so her legal team try prompting her.

 

They question if she was raped but that is revealed not to be the case and that she is pregnant. Only after Juliet gives birth to her second daughter amid fears of separation does she open up about her marriage.

 

Joe’s condition, meanwhile, worsens and he dies in hospital. Juliet is charged with murder but pleads not guilty, due to provocation. She is found not guilty after revealing the domestic abuse she suffered at Joe’s hands but does, however, plead guilty to manslaughter.
