Verdict (2012)

What if the justice system was controlled by the court of public opinion, and a suspect's guilt or innocence was determined by popular vote? Verdict is an online courtroom drama in which YOU become the jury - voting guilty or not guilty to influence the outcome of every episode. In this fascinating alternate world, a population fed up with out-of-control crime revolts and demands change, and so the country's justice system is radically transformed: cases are now literally tried in the court of public opinion. The highest-profile cases are aired live on Verdict, a 24-hour station run by the people, for the people. Citizens watch with fervor, listen to witnesses and examine the evidence ... and then, they vote: guilty or not guilty. Through cell phones, computers, iPads and PEDs, justice now rests in the hands of the general public. Verdict is a riveting social experiment that is already generating a ton of buzz, and it will change the way we think about the world and our place in it. Will justice prevail with the public in control? You be the judge...
