I remember watching this on Cable London in my first year in secondary school. It was listed on the Bravo channel I believe and would air fairly often. I ended up recording it on VHS tape the second time I saw it air. I had the urge to watch it downing covid 19 lockdown but my VHS player needs fixing and I tried to find it online to no avail I couldn't remember the title in truth., I wrote "Win Atwood film" on tape but KZbin searched "Jury film" this evening and found your upload.

An exceptional movie about the tough role of a juror in a capital case. What a heavy responsibility that would be. Thanks for sharing . 😊

[@Baskerville22]

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.

[@veronicasanacion]

Some people don´t seem to understand the importance justice has in a healthy (sane) society. I guess leading by the example is what we can do to spread around the values of respect for others and justice. Say hello to Australia! I miss Melbourne sometimes

[@kooisengchng5283]

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.

[@hlowrylong]

@@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 disagree. Jurors let Casey Anthony go free after she killed her daughter. The jurors let O.J Simpson go free after he brutally murdered two people. Jurors mess it up real bad all the time because they go into that jury room with their head up their arse and they start playing lawyer without knowing the law and with NO common sense. They get very stupid the minute they go into that room and they lose all common sense. **

And Ramos and Beryl being "insufferable" was on purpose by the writers. They were the polar opposites who had their minds made up going in. When the jurors finally got down to rational discussion of the facts, a unanimous verdict was reached.

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 !

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.

The prosecution does not have to prove motive other than legal sanity, intent and evidence. The burden of proof of insanity or other mitigation is on the defense.

[@kidmack3556]

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 had the first-degree verdict in my mind after the defendant's own testimony. Very little of her testimony could be corroborated because it was conversation between her and her deceased husband.
