Synopsis
Acting as jurors, ordinary citizens have the power to free the accused, levy enormous fines on negligent corporations, and even mete out the death penalty - powers most countries keep in the hands of the ruling elite. As this anthology reveals, Americans have a longstanding attachment to this right, even as some question the way it works in practice.
