Citizen Verdict

Eliminate Crime!

Marty Rockman, the notorious producer of reality-TV, has a brand new show: Citizen Verdict. Each week a real criminal case will be tried before the American people, but this time they’re also the jury. If the defendant is voted guilty in a death penalty case, Rockman will televise the execution. Selected by phone-in vote, the show’s first contestant is Ricky Carr — a man accused of the rape and murder of popular celebrity-chef Dolly Hamilton. The case is a surefire ratings winner. But when an investigation begins, it becomes apparent that Ricky may be innocent. His fate is in the hands of the viewer.
