no runaway jury

The front is a thriller line, and the end becomes a warm, emotional and righteous line. When the judge read the verdict, he was really moved. The ending part thought that the male protagonist would deviate from the original plan with the female protagonist for money, but it didn't.
The defense jury counselor was great, but always had a grumpy, bravado feel. In the end, after he failed, he met the hero and heroine in the coffee shop, and accused the hero and heroine that you won't stop there, you'll be addicted, and you'll end up with nothing, which reflects himself, just like the prosecution lawyer in the bathroom In the end, the same as what was said to him, in the end he will still fail. Such a person does not want money, nor does he care about justice and morality. What he wants most is to control the success or failure of every trial and win the case. What strikes him the most is not moral preaching, but failure. Only after failure can he reflect on his actions. He has been using illegal and immoral means to deal with his opponents, and once someone more powerful than him uses the same means to calculate him, he will be furious, "How can you do this!", "You have no good end!", This is very hypocritical.
The prosecution lawyer has always had a calm and rational feeling that may not be the most powerful one. He didn't make a deal in the end, which is more in line with his character image, as expected. One thing is, if he accepts the deal, how will the hero and heroine treat him, and their appeals for the outcome of the trial are the same, so will they use a money order as a warning like they did to the last defense jury consultant? This thinking is meaningless, and now such a plot is reasonable.
Another point is whether the nature of the behavior of the male and female protagonists constitutes jury manipulation, which is not well understood.

    ★★★★☆ After reading some material about the jury system, go back and look at the theme of the film, "Justice triumphs over evil"? The behavior of the two protagonists is essentially no different from that of the jury analysis team. It interferes with procedural justice and seeks justice on the "conscience".

    It can be regarded as a good drama, especially in the line of digging deep into the hero and heroine, and finally gave us a surprise. It is a pity that the excavation on human nature (among the jurors) is not deep enough.

Runaway Jury quotes

  • Nicholas Easter: Goodbye, Fitch.

    Rankin Fitch: Well, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait... How did you swing 'em, huh? How did you swing 'em your way? I hear you got ten votes. How'd you do that?

    Nicholas Easter: [shrugs] I didn't swing anything. I just stopped you from stealing the thing. We let 'em vote their hearts. That means you lose. Enjoy your drink.

  • Wendell Rohr: Is that why you're doing this? To protect the constitution, is that it?

    Rankin Fitch: Of course not. I'm in it to win.

    Wendell Rohr: Oh.

    Rankin Fitch: Just like you are.

    Wendell Rohr: Yeah.

    Rankin Fitch: Because that's what I was hired to do.

    Wendell Rohr: Uh huh.

    Rankin Fitch: Everything else is colored bubbles.

    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.
