Trial by Jury

REVIEW
Whalley-Kilmer plays a jurist who faces every jury member's nightmare: being physically coerced into finding the defendant innocent. But what's more of a nightmare is the silly scenario created by the writers as a responsible citizen faces criminals and the criminal system head-on. Sitting on the jury of a high-profile mobster (Assante), Whalley-Kilmer has her and her young son's life threatened by Assante's goons. As she grapples with the moral dilemma, nearly every man in sight falls in love with her. Though bordering on trashy fun, this could have been enjoyable had not Whalley-Kilmer given such a one-dimensional performance.
