Description:
Is Duvinder guilty? Or is he innocent? Share the tension and the excitement as the jury decides.
John Maher (Billy Scott) lay dead in the grass, the victim of 28 well-placed stab wounds. A stolen sword coated in blood lands near the 15-year-old schoolboy's body. It's clearly a case of unrestrained vengeance. John's Sikh schoolmate, Duvinder Singh (Sonnell Dadral), hated him. Hated him enough to commit murder. A horrendous, premeditated murder in cold blood. Or so we're told.
We're also told this gentle, intelligent boy is incapable of killing. He's innocent. Chilling suspense fills 'The Jury' as the highly publicized trial pits Sikh and Anglo communities against each other. Logic against intuition. Pride against shame. The jurors must decide what side they're on - both inside the courtroom, and outside.
Award-winning actor Sir Derek Jacobi (Gosford Park; Gladiator; I, Claudius) stars as George Cording QC (queen's council). As Duvinder's lawyer, he must convince the jury of the young boy's innocence in the face of compelling evidence that suggests otherwise. Cording knows his only hope is to confront the evidence head on and expose a scathing case of prejudice. His powers of persuasion have never been sharper.
Gerald Lewis QC (esteemed actor Sir Antony Sher, Shakespeare in Love, Alive & Kicking, Superman II) can be arrogant-he's entitled. After all, his witness saw blood on the accused's shirt. His witness saw an agitated Duvinder running away. His witness found the body. An impassioned relating of the events will certainly bring the guilty verdict Lewis demands.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great English series
Only purchased this as Gerard Butler was in it, however hooked from the start and loved it. Now what to see what happens to the character further into the future.
Rating: - Excellent British TV Mini-Series
"The Jury" is one of those British TV productions that has it all. Captivating story, stellar cast, and an in-depth look at a complex court case with no pat ending. Well worth the price and the investment of time.
For those interested in Gerard Butler, the actor gives a truly vulnerable, compelling performance.
Rating: - The absolute best
I love this show, I have seen it a couple of times on cable but now I have my own copy to watch any time I want. It is a gripping tale told through many characters that make up The Jury.
Rating: - Gerard Butlers finest moment
This series was amazing. YOu can not miss a moment and it is long but well worth it. Gerard Butler played what I think was the best part in his career. He was absolutely amazing. The pain and agony he experienced you almost felt. Rose was great! The ending was shocking and left you wondering. Great writer and acting. Well worth every penny and every minute.
Rating: - Couldn't WATCH just one!
I received "The Jury" yesterday from vdoWarehouse and had planned on watching it today; however, I couldn't wait. Around 11:00 p.m., I put the first disc into the player, intending to watch just the first episode of six. Oh, well. I was up until 4:00 a.m. The story was exceptional and engrossing; the acting outstanding; and the music was haunting and beautiful. As usual, the British put on another great series. I understand Hollywood is planning a remake, which I'm sure they'll ruin, as they did the original British "Traffic."
