Book Week Scotland 2024 - You The Jury With Douglas Skelton - In person

Join crime author and journalist Douglas Skelton in a unique, interactive event where you, the audience, will step into the shoes of a jury! In this engaging experience, Douglas will present true crime cases that challenge your moral beliefs versus the legal system. Can you, using the factual evidence presented, confidently find the accused parties guilty or not guilty? Join us for this thought-provoking event and put your critical thinking skills to the test! 

There will be a short interval during which time refreshments will be available.
