The jury system has always been an important part of British law, and in this film, we can also see that the jury plays a very important role. Although the film is not like the movie "Twelve Angry Men" starring a jury, the defendant is still based on the judgment of the jury to decide whether to be released or convicted. Because the jury system is a system established by the United Kingdom, the United States and France, which consists of 12 non-legal personnel to jointly judge and convict. Who can be a juror in the UK? British law stipulates that every adult British citizen has the obligation to serve as a juror and participate in the trial together to achieve true fairness. And who has the right to be exempted from this obligation? Police officers, professors, soldiers, lawyers, law students, etc. We can find that the characteristic of these people is that they have all studied law. Therefore, according to this system, people who become jurors are generally legally illiterate. Therefore, in this film, the judgments made by jurors are generally based on their own social experience and subjective judgments, and sometimes they are influenced by social prejudice. . At first, the jury's attitude towards the case was obvious. They liked Leonard, who was a gentleman and gentle, but didn't believe what he said; Christine, but apparently believed her testimony. Christine knew that the jury would not believe the testimony of a wife who loved her husband, so she appeared in court as a prosecution witness to change the jury's opinion, and then used the jury's anger at her to reach the defendant. Innocent verdict. The heroine's skillful acting not only deceived the jury, but even the defender Wilfrid fell into their trap.
