The Verdict is a 2007 BBC television programme produced by RDF Media in which twelve celebrities form the jury in the trial of a fictional rape case.

The programme was filmed with real legal and medical professionals, but with actors playing the victim, defendants, and witnesses.

[1] The case features the fictitious trial of a famous international footballer, Damien Scott (played by Javone Prince), and his friend, James Greer (Mark Wood), charged with the rape of a young woman named Anna Crane (Alice O'Connell).

Several members of the jury stated that they believed the rapes had taken place, but that insufficient evidence prevented a conviction.

The show has been criticised by a number of organisations,[2][3][4] including the End Violence Against Women campaign group, who condemned the BBC2 programme.
