ACT 1

Fade in on a jury box. Twelve men are seated in it, listeningintently to the voice of the judge as he charges

them. We do not see the judge. He speaks in slow, measured tones, and his voice is grave. The camera drifts

over the faces of the jurymen as the judge speaks, and we see that most of theirheads are turned to camera's

left. NO. 7 looks down at his hands. NO. 3 looks off in another direction, the direction in which the defendant

would be sitting. NO. 10 keepsmoving his head back and forth nervously. The judgedrones on.

JUDGE:
Murder in the first degree—premeditated homicide—is the most seriouschargetried in our criminal

courts. You've heard a long and complex case, gentlemen, and it is now your duty to sit down to try and

separate the facts from the fancy. One man is dead. The life of another is at stake. If there is a reasonable doubt

in your minds as to the guilt of the accused . . . then you must declare him not guilty. If, however, there is no

reasonable doubt, then he must be found guilty. Whichever way you decide, the verdict must be unanimous. I

urge you to deliberatehonestly and thoughtfully. You are faced with a grave responsibility. Thank you,
