I asked on the "I Need To Know" board and 2 people think this episode I vaguely remember is from Law & Order UK and not Silk, so hopefully someone here knows what it is.
The scenario is an elegant, posho, middle-aged lady is in court giving evidence (I think) her husband's murder. The judge is thoroughly charmed and basically wonders how such a woman could ever be disbelieved (shades of the "fragrant" Mary Archer). It turns out her husband was (I think) having sex with under-aged boys and she knocked him off (I think) with an umbrella in the hallway.

Could it be "Safe From Harm," in Season 8? Following synopsis is from wikipedia:
When Ronnie and Joe investigate the fatal stabbing of Dr Philip Gardner, a psychiatrist with a caseload of violent adolescent patients, their first instinct is to question the young people he was treating. Then evidence suggests that he may have been having an affair with one of them, and they begin to suspect the doctor's wife Alison. Although initially she denies killing her husband, Alison changes her defence as the case stacks up against her. Pleading that she was not in her right mind and lost control at the time of the stabbing, she makes a persuasive case. Her case is in fact so persuasive that Kate begins to question whether Alison should be on trial for murder at all, but Jake is determined to see justice done. Thanks to some last minute detective work, the team are finally able to uncover the truth. Guest starring Ramon Tikaram.
