A good movie to check out is '12 Angry Men'.

An 'All-Star Cast' about what goes on during a jury deliberation. It is a murder trial, but I doubt there is that much difference.

***A jury holdout (Henry Fonda) attempts to prevent a miscarriage of justice by forcing his colleagues to reconsider the evidence.***

"Storyline

The defense and the prosecution have rested and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young man is guilty or innocent of murdering his father. What begins as an open-and-shut case of murder soon becomes a detective story that presents a succession of clues creating doubt, and a mini-drama of each of the jurors' prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other. Based on the play, all of the action takes place on the stage of the jury room. Written by pjk <PETESID@VNET.IBM.COM>"

'Runaway Jury' may be more apt

with lots of corrupt jury tampering from Trump & his criminal associates

You know what.

I honestly believe you have totally lost it.

Don't do anything rash.

'they' being his own justice dept charging the criminal with crimes he committed

What is President Trump supposed to say? Call him an asshole and hope the jury fries him?

Probably the best bet would have been to just ignore the whole thing but the president seems unable or unwilling to ignore a whole lotta shit he should ignore.

I watch that movie '12 Angry Men' every year or two.

Every time I do it reminds of what great acting is all about. It is a powerful movie with a great and powerful cast and an excellent screenplay.

If you want to see the dynamic of 12 strangers looking at the same evidence, and how their passions come to the surface then this is your meat.

@kargen, yes, the President of the United States should not be publicly implying a trial by his Justice Dept is corrupt (w/ no supporting evidence as is usual for his claims)
