And it forces the audience to work out what they would do. How would they do the right thing? And at what cost?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The actress plays Jodie, the eponymous \u2018Witness No. 3\u2019 who Toussaint-White describes as a \u201cnormal girl\u201d who unwittingly \u201cwitnessed a killer and his victim moments before a murder has happened\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s a single mum. She owns a hairdressing salon. She\u2019s a strong part of her community. She\u2019s very community-led and based and one morning, she\u2019s at work, [and] she looks at her window and she sees two men crossing the road,\u201d Toussaint-White said.<\/p> <p>\u201cNow, this seems like nothing out of the ordinary. But the police \u2013\u00a0a few days later \u2013\u00a0they put out an appeal for people to step forward and make a statement. And Jodie, being the girl who does the right thing, steps forward to make this statement, thinking that whatever she says has little to no weight in their investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, she continued, \u201cWe soon realise that she\u2019s actually witnessed a killer and his victim moments before a murder has happened. And this then makes Jodie a really a major player in the murder investigation; she becomes the \u2018witness number three\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\"
