Justice is turned into a game show, with life and death as the stakes, in this satirical drama. Florida governor Bull Tyler (Roy Scheider) is trying to ease the dissatisfaction of his constituents in the midst of a major crime wave by getting tough on wrongdoers, and television producer Marty Rockman (Jerry Springer) has offered him a high-profile way to do just that. Rockman, best known for his splashy reality programs, has come up with an idea for a new show — “Citizen Verdict,” in which an alleged murderer is tried in three hours on broadcast television, with the viewers voting on the guilt or innocence of the accused. If 75 percent or more of those who call in vote to convict, the defendant will be executed as part of a pay-per-view special to follow. Tyler thinks the show could be a good publicity stunt and gives his OK, with Ricky Carr (Raffaello Degruttola), accused of murdering the host of a popular cooking show, given the honor of starring in the first episode. Carr is being defended by Sam Patterson (Armand Assante), a once-respected civil rights lawyer fallen on hard times, while prosecutor Jessica Landers (Justine Mitchell) represents the state. Citizen Verdict was the first directorial project from producer Philippe Martinez., Captivating thriller about an outrageous reality-TV show that affords its viewers the opportunity to pass judgment on the defendant in a real-life murder trial. If the accused is found guilty, then his execution is televised. Armand Assante stars as a dedicated defense attorney, with Justine Mitchell as his prosecutorial counterpart doing her best to sway the jury to render a thumbs-down decision. Jerry Springer costars with Roy Scheider. Directed by Philippe Martinez, who co-wrote the script.
