How realistic is ‘The Twelve’ (VRT 1) compared to a real assize process? A former assize chairman answers | Domestic

Since Sunday evening, the 777,424 live viewers of ‘The Twelve’ have known who killed Marianne. And that was not the person who was convicted for it. Does the jury also make mistakes in real assize cases? And if so, how often does it happen that a perpetrator manages to frame someone else for murder or manslaughter? Former assisen chairman Michel Jordens (71), also technical advisor of the VRT1 series, provides answers.
