runaway justice

I have recently become obsessed with legal-themed movies. I don’t know why, but I always feel that some so-called justice and fairness can be found in these legal-themed movies, which may be dissatisfaction with the real judicial system or legal system.
I have always felt that the jury system has its inherent advantage that it can compete with judges and lawyers, rather than judges or lawyers alone. 12 people from different classes, colors, races, and occupations gathered together after receiving the jury summoning order from the court. They didn't know each other, but they had to sit together to decide some people who had nothing to do with them. life, and they must maintain a fair and objective attitude without any personal selfishness or evil thoughts. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why a country can be strong. However, what we see in this film is the drawbacks of the jury, a jury that can be manipulated by others, they have lost their independence, they are completely led by others, although Nick finally chose me I think the righteous side, but this doesn't mean anything, because today's Nick may manipulate the jury to make a just or correct favorable verdict, but tomorrow someone may manipulate the jury to make a verdict that goes against the facts and goes against justice , but this film is not a very good film, the performance of the actors is quite in place. No system or system is perfect, and it will have its advantages and disadvantages. Even a strong United States cannot change this fact.
I think this may be a kind of out of control justice.

    Wendell Rohr: Colored bubbles! Colored bubbles? A system that calls for twelve people to sit and listen to testimony of witnesses, fella, and that includes my witness, who you've disappeared!

    Rankin Fitch: If you're relying on testimony to win this case, you've already lost it.
