The documentary has exclusive interviews with the Jordan family that were conducted a week after the killing.
This 3rd Degree documentary was scheduled to air last year, but e.tv was prevented from screening it after the Directorate of Public Prosecutions obtained an urgent High Court interdict to halt the broadcast. e.tv appealed against the interdict on the basis that it created a dangerous precedent where the media could be prevented from reporting on pending criminal proceedings until such reports had been vetted by the State.
The state has withdrawn its objection to e.tv screening the programme on the basis that the trial is already underway.
e.tv has nevertheless persisted in its appeal against the ruling as the channel believes that the ruling amounted to pre-censorship and was a threat to freedom of expression.
Debora Patta, e.tv Editor-in-Chief, said: "The point we are trying to make is that we are still against the principle where the State may pre-approve news before it is aired and that we will contest this."
'Little Angel' airs on 3rd Degree on Tuesday, 7 February and replaces 'Class Dismissed'. 'Class Dismissed' will be re-scheduled.
