Exclusive: Nick Holt is a BAFTA-winning documentary maker who has made a name for himself exposing the inner workings of Britain’s criminal justice system with shows like The Murder Trial.
But after a career spent in factual programming, Holt will make his scripted debut on December 16 with his feature-length drama Responsible Child for BBC Two.
Produced by Kudos and 72 Films, Responsible Child tells the story of a 12-year-old boy named Ray who is put on trial for murder, thanks to an arcane English law that means children as young as 10 can go through the rigors of an adult courtroom case.
The drama stars The White Princess actor Billy Barratt in the lead role, alongside Game of Thrones actress Michelle Fairley, who plays his barrister. Killing Eve‘s Owen McDonnell plays Ray’s lawyer.

The murder trial has begun in the case against a man accused of torturing and murdering the 8-year-old boy of his girlfriend whom he believed to be gay.

Former NFL star and convicted murderer Aaron Hernandez is on trial again — this time over accusations he murdered Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado in a drive-by shooting outside of a Boston nightclub in 2012.
The murder trial against the former New England Patriot began on Wednesday, where attorneys presented two very different theories of the crime.
In his opening statement, prosecutor Patrick Haggan told the jury that Hernandez had a brief altercation with de Abreu and Safiro Furtado after one of them bumped into him. Hernandez took that as insult, Haggan claimed.
“It was a simple bump, a spilled drink and an exchange of looks,...

Rolling Stone spoke with defense attorney Jerry Buting about some of the evidence that was only briefly covered in the documentary or left out entirely.
There were some pieces of evidence that the series moved past so quickly that viewers didn't always get a sense of their significance. For instance, did a theory ever emerge about why...
