Crown Court - Still Waters

Courtroom drama, each case takes three episodes. At the end of the third episode, a jury of "ordinary people" comes to a verdict on the evidence presented. Amy Sellars stands accused of the attempted murder of her daughter-in-law Valerie. The Prosecution case is that Amy disliked Valerie who she felt was not right for her son and attempted to kill her by drowning. They allege she organised a rowing trip despite boating conditions being poor and then pushed Valerie - who could not swim - into the water. The Defence reject the charge and retort that Valerie Sellars fell into the water accidentally. Episode aired 24 October 1978
