In November 1974, British aristocrat Richard John Bingham, otherwise known as Lord Lucan, became the prime suspect in the murder of his children's nanny, Sandra Rivett. He vanished soon after the incident, sparking one of the most sensational manhunts in British history and as a result, has never faced judge and jury. It's the Trial that never happened... …until now. Using exclusive, never before seen documents and mesmerising testimony, Caroline Cheetham, Stephen Wright and some of the world's most revered legal minds take part in a week long audio event to determine Lucan's fate... and YOU are the jury.

<p>You, the jury, have heard the evidence and arguments and are now being asked to deliberate and decide Lord Lucan’s fate.</p><br><p>In his closing speech, defence barrister Edward Henry KC urges you to judge the case based on ‘the evidence, and the evidence alone’, saying Lord Lucan had been the victim of a ‘tsunami of prejudice’.</p><p>‘This is perhaps the most notorious murder allegation of modern times,’ he adds, as he concedes that the ‘odds are stacked’ against his client.</p><br><p>But questioning whether Lucan could ever get a fair trial, he states the prosecution is ‘drenched in prejudice’.</p><p>‘John Bingham, Lord Lucan, has been convicted countless times before he even entered this courtroom. He has been vilified .. his whole life defamed in the Press, the Media, and on the Internet - for decade upon decade before this trial.</p><br><p>Mr Henry also describes the forensic evidence at the murder scene as a ‘fiasco’ because of contamination.</p><br><p>His fate is in your hands.</p><br><p>‘The Trial of Lord Lucan’ is an innovative week-long podcast event where you the listener, are the jury. </p><p>Voting is now OPEN.
