Dick Wolf, Schöpfer der erfolgreichsten Primetime-Marke im US-Fernsehen mit „Law & Order“, präsentiert „Law & Order: Trial by Jury“ und bietet den Zuschauern völlig neue Einblicke. Zum ersten Mal wird eine „Law & Order“-Serie nicht nur aus der Sicht der Staatsanwaltschaft und der Polizei erzählt, sondern auch aus der Perspektive der Verteidiger, Angeklagten, Richter und Geschworenen, und zeigt so die inneren Mechanismen der Justiz.
