This is well worth the watch!! Excellent inside view of what the jury goes through. AND: no commercials, how's that for perfect!!

I was on Jury service for several cases over a period of 5 weeks here in Australia. In every case the Judge warned the jury members that they must not discuss the case UNTIL the Courtroom hearing was over and they were sent to the jury-room to determine a verdict. In every case there were individuals among the jury members who ignored this instruction.

I think juries are incapable of objective reesoning. They are ordinary but savvy folks and can easily fake their opinions when questioned. This film illustrates clearly why a jury concept is erroneous and justice is frequently not served. A good criminal defence lawyer can get a guilty client scot free. Ask any criminal lawyer. That's why many countries don't have a jury system. Those who have are in an opioid high. Criminal lawyers are giving them that high.

@@kooisengchng5283 It’s better than relying on one judge who might have specific preconceptions… just think about how all of the jury members (of this movie) had immediate gut feelings based on their own experiences … it’s likely why so many of us have liked this film, that it was very realistic - even the digging in of our heels when we are certain of our own stance, it can be difficult to admit we were initially incorrect or illogical with our conclusions. I swear I’ve worked in offices with every one of these people, character-wise. I liked that the movie did not have an ounce of ‘overwhelming wokeness’ - the black lady made no mention of her skin tone, the Asian lady and Latina ladies made no issue of their heritage being different than that of the older white ladies or gentlemen- the Latino guy was a macho jerk, but it wasn’t about his heritage but that he was just a jerk, and the young pretty white lady finally saw through her “personal tribe” to do the right thing. If they made a movie like this now - only a couple decades later - all you’d hear about is ‘the defendant has white privilege so she’s guilty’, “I’m offended by the patriarchy”, “you aren’t listening to me bc I’m ‘ a man, a woman, young, old, Latino, black, newly immigrated, heavily accented, educated, not as educated ….. blah blah blah”. This was intelligent. I liked it immensely.

i was on a jury, but not as serious. this one would be so hard to sort out the mental state of a person and all the details. what a great and cast of characters.

It's frustrating how the justice system has been hijacked by those with great wealth. A times it becomes so blatantly obvious its sickening. A team of experienced ,highly influencial, high priced attorneys opposed to the possible , near to retirement, alcoholic , has-been, state appointed huckster ! Who would you have more confidence in ? Only in the movies would the appointed underdog stand a chance. Those in the audience love to say, "it might not be perfect ,but it's better than other systems, " lol ! Doesn't provide much confidence for the defend though does it !

Thanks for the great movies 👍. Keep them coming 😊💯

About isolating her from other contact. We read that that’s classic behavior of abusing people. They isolate the person that they are abusing from the other people who would care about them.

Very good film, thank you. I never saw this one before.

It is very interesting how, by the end, they realised the most important thing: she was a TV person who had access to every possible plot to make her story believable. A clever person who used every resource available in her own job. Now we see this every day, because we just google for information, but then you could only know how to deceive others if you read a lot of psychology books or had a lot of psychologist friends and talked to all of them for weeks, since there are a variety of approaches as what would be the best course of action. But this one had everything she needed at hand.

Why on earth would she shot that guy, if he had not abused her in the way she said? With a good lawyer she would easily have won a divorce case.

Great movie, thank you!

Once, and only once, and that was MORE than enough for me. One other juror and myself "hung" the jury in a murder trial. The majority of the jury wanted acquittal with time served for a creep that was illegally carrying a concealed fully loaded semi automatic pistol with an additional two full magazines, a folding machete, AND a miniature missle that looked like a fountain pen... All this, a veritable arsenal carried about within the metropolis, including riding on the city's public transportation! By hanging the jury, the baliff told us afterward in confidence that we would never be picked to serve again, and so far that is so.

I’m so glad I came across this outstanding movie

re people not aware that many women are killed by their men. Often the women when they're abused and have their men arrested and jailed, are killed when the men get out. Women are not really valued by many men. This movie does not help that.

By keeping it simple & not tilting towards darkness would have done the job. The forewoman & the elderly man brought a measure of strength & hope to this dark narration.
