Episode notes

A murdered man appears to one juror — and quietly guides a Victorian court toward the truth. In Charles Dickens's 1865 ghost story, a reluctant juror already haunted by a face from days before watches the dead man return through a ten-day trial: not to frighten the living, but to make certain evidence is seen, doubt is answered, and the verdict lands where it should.
