Trial by Jury is a 1994 American legal thriller film directed by Heywood Gould and starring Joanne Whalley-Kilmer, Gabriel Byrne, Armand Assante and William Hurt.

Crime boss Rusty Pirone is about to stand trial again and Daniel Graham of the district attorney's office is determined this time to put him behind bars.

Pirone sends one of his henchmen, a burned-out former corrupt cop named Tommy Vesey, to find a way to get him off the charges.

Vesey realizes that a hung jury will lead to an acquittal and he investigates all of the jurors with a view to blackmailing them.

He identifies single mother Valerie Alston, who he feels could make a difference in the jury room but can also follow orders.

Greco calls out that Bonner is subject to a deal by Graham and his evidence is tainted as he's a convicted murderer.

Graham is furious and unable to believe he could lose a slam-dunk case, he tasks Boyle with finding out what went wrong.

Boyle poles each of the jurors who found Rusty not guilty and they each call out Valerie's role in convincing them to change their verdict.

He warns Valerie that the Pirone family won't let her live and she needs to sort things with Rusty directly.
