Trial By Jury
For one juror, the question of guilt or innocence is a matter of life or death...her own.
He's guilty of murder. The feds have him dead to rights. At last there's no escape for this mob boss, a "Teflon Don" who has slipped free of murder raps so many times before. But something goes wrong in the jury room. Eleven jurors vote guilty. One woman, her life and family threatened by the mob, votes to let the killer walk. And to set things right, that woman will have to fight back with a vengeance.
In Trial By Jury, Joanne Whalley-Kilmer (Scarlett) plays Valerie Alston, a dutiful juror thrust into a nightmare...and forced by her plight to discover hidden resources she never suspected she had. Armand Assante (The Mambo Kings) is the gangster who vows death to Valerie and her son if she votes "guilty." William Hurt (Body Heat) as a cop turned mob lowlife and Gabriel Byrne (Point Of No Return) as a zealous prosecutor add to the excitement of this fast-paced action thriller.

Trial by jury - Tess
While certainly not the best court room drama ever made, this movie is quite suspensful. Valerie's choice to comply with the mobster is surprising, and the viewer is kept wondering how on earth she will get herself out of this tricky situation. Some of the acting is shaky (William Hurt has never been one of my favourites and in this movie his accent and persona are ever changing)but Armand Assante and Gabriel Byrne are worth watching.
