The opening of the series provides brief back-story: Garrow Andrew Buchan is a headstrong and brash young barrister, articled i. Though in the U. Southouse gives Garrow his first instruction — the case of a young man falsely accused of robbery. This case showcases some of the fascinatingly foreign elements of the British legal system during the Georgian period.
Defense counsel was extremely limited in what he could do to help the accused. Essentially, all Garrow is allowed is to give his client advice on specific points of law, and in the courtroom, to cross-examine witnesses. In the courtroom, Garrow is not permitted to directly address the jury in an opening statement, closing statement or at any point during the trial.
Garrow is not allowed to speak to or introduce evidence, and while he may call witnesses, they are not bound to appear. Before the Georgian period, since defense counsel was so limited, many barristers hardly bothered when it came to the types of antics one often sees in the modern courtroom; they saw themselves strictly as legal advisers, rather than as responsible for taking the initiative to save their clients.
To do this, he used sarcasm and belligerence, as well as humor, in his cross-examinations, to both expose ulterior motives and engage the jury. Garrow irritates judges as well, who, in order to preserve their own power in the courtroom, take out their bias against Garrow on his clients. It also highlights the rampant self-interest that could drive the prosecution of crimes, unjustly divesting the accused of their lives.
The first episode introduces a thief-taker, Forrester Steven Waddington , who faces down Garrow in court. In the historical case upon which this episode is based, Garrow managed to get the accused convicted only of minor theft, a lesser crime which resulted in transportation. This may seem like a disappointing consolation prize until one takes into account that a conviction for robbery brought with it a sentence of death.
Unlike the historical Garrow, the series Garrow loses, his client is convicted and immediately sentenced to hang. This is done in furtherance of character development — to show that Garrow has much to learn, and lives hang in the balance.
His education comes through these failures as well as through interaction with his attorney, Mr. This character is based on a historical woman who, though not married to him, gave birth to a child by Sir Arthur Hill, and with whom Garrow had an unusual relationship; they would eventually marry.
