The real-life accused whose trial has been recreated in The Jury: Death on the Staircase has delivered his message to the panel of 12 jurors after it announced its verdict.
The appearance of Philip Leung on the finale of SBS' reality show The Jury brought many on the 12-person panel to tears. The Jury : Death on the Staircase reveals the deliberations of a panel of everyday Australians asked to consider the evidence of a real-life manslaughter trial. Actors recreated the trial of Leung, who faced court three times in NSW for the manslaughter of his partner Mario Guzzetti in 2007.
"The jury was satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that following an argument with the deceased, when the offender had been making carrot juice, the offender in anger attacked him and caused his death and that the offender's acts were deliberate, unlawful and dangerous," Judge Derek Price noted during sentencing. But Leung was released two years later after a successful appeal.
