Stephen Wyatt:
Piglaw
BBC Radio 3
During a busy Market Day in a small, medieval French village, Jeanette, 6-year-old daughter of Jehan and Marie de Lalande, is killed
by one of the many roaming pigs. Pierre le Brun, the only lawyer in the village, convinces the mayor of precedent that, before they kill
the pig, it needs to have a fair and just trial. Pierre le Brun believes it was not murder but manslaughter as he takes on Gian the pig as
his client while the Mayor calls in the famous Parisian Advocate, Master Bais, as Prosecutor.
