Witness for the Prosecution background

Witness for the Prosecution

A high-stakes murder trial takes a dramatic turn as a seasoned British lawyer uses his expertise to defend his client against a web of unexpected revelations.

Ailing barrister Sir Wilfrid Robarts takes on a most unusual and eventful murder case when he defends Leonard Vole, a man accused of killing a wealthy woman. As Robarts navigates the complex trial, he faces off against Leonard's cold-hearted wife, Christine, who surprisingly chooses to testify against her husband.
