Series Three : Episode One : Broken
Thursday, 9 September 2010 9:00pm - 10:00pm ITV1 / ITV1 HD
The terrifying CCTV image of a toddler being led to his death haunts this episode of
Law & Order UK which deals with the difficult and morally complex issue of children who
kill. As a society, we are very unforgiving of child killers but if the killers themselves
are only children, it begs the question - who really is responsible for the crime? With two
children in the frame, each blaming the other, can forensic evidence prove who is guilty of
strangling little Conor to death?
In an emotionally gut wrenching episode, George defies his superiors and instead takes
instruction from the victim's mother who has a surprising point of view on the crime. Can
the justice system, and ultimately the government, afford to be lenient?
