Judge Rinder's Crime Stories - Season 2 (2017)

Barrister Robert Rinder examines more real-life cases, looking at the events leading up to crimes, going through the police investigations and summing up the trials. In the first edition, he focuses on the deaths of six children in a house fire in Derby, where Mick and Mairead Philpott quickly became prime suspects, and the murder of 67-year-old Rita Stephens in Penoced, Bridgend, for which police arrested her son Mark.

Robert Rinder examines the case of a gang of fraudsters targeting the elderly by pretending to be the police during 2014 and 2015.

In October 1993, Gary Nelson, a man described as one of the most violent and dangerous men to walk the streets of the UK, murdered a bouncer and community police officer. In an investigation spanning 13 years, a determined team of police officers work to ensure Gary Nelson faces justice for his crimes.

Barrister Robert Rinder examines the murder of 15-year-old Dawn Ashworth in Leicester in 1986, which police realised was almost identical to the killing of Lynda Mann three years earlier. He also follows the search for the courier who lost control of his car in March 2016, hitting some girls who had gone out for a Monday night jog.

Barrister Robert Rinder recalls arguably the most audacious robbery in British criminal history, when in November 2000 an armed gang tried to steal the priceless Millennium Star diamond on display at the Millennium Dome, south-east London. Plus, the case of gamekeeper Billy Stirrat, whose life was turned upside down following a miscarriage of justice involving his wrongful arrest for the possession of £500,000 worth of amphetamine.
