ITV’s resident judge, Robert Rinder, lifts the lid on some of Britain’s worst crimes, delving deep into each real-life case using witness accounts, CCTV footage and news reports to reconstruct defining moments. From murders to extreme cases of fraud, the series examines the police efforts that helped solve these crimes, as well as looking into miscarriages of justice.
