THE COURT ROOM EXPERIENCE
![]() | ![]() |
In 1844 on the wind swept slopes of Rough Tor, Bodmin Moor, the body of a local girl was found. Charlotte Dymond's murder has intrigued ever since.
Matthew Weeks was accused of her murder. But was he guilty or innocent of this heinous crime? The courtroom drama is played out and you become one of the jurors. Cast your vote and decide his fate.
Now you can witness the trial and act as a member of the jury in this unique interpretation of the court room as it would have been at that time.
