The Jury: Death on the Staircase

This was an interesting show, something different. I felt as viewers we were not presented with sufficient information about the actual case. Little time was given to present the case's facts to the viewers - the jury had a couple of days of presentations where as viewers had only a few minutes. Most of the program was about watching the jurors - and after all, that's the subject matter. But the conversations between them were pretty basic and repetitive. That might be the editing. It seemed clear from the start how most of them would vote and at the end, peer pressure played a big part in the outcome. What I did learn was that I really don't want to be on a jury. Some of the jurors were respectful but some so annoying, particularly the women who continually rolled their eyes, pulled faces and snickered when others spoke. The show could have been improved with a timer, to indicate the progress of the court proceedings and the length of deliberation.
