1: Officer Blake: Lethal Force

In the first episode of the Trial of Officer Blake, Caroline and George have the opening to the case at the Old Bailey, and the prosecutor's claims that firearms office Martyn Blake shot Chris Kaba in the head without justification. We hear that Chris Kaba had been trying to escape from police in his Audi Q8, but that he posed no threat when he was shot. The car was stationary and he had his hands on the steering wheel. He died from a single gunshot and Martyn Blake, whose codename was NX121, denies the charge of murder.
