Trial of the Century

The jury is now in session.
You're summoned to take part in a high profile, highly publicized trial fit for public appeal and widespread news consumption. Another trial of the century. Everything reeks of bribery, theatre, fanfare, and all evidence points toward guilt. But the defendant lined pockets of silver tongued lawyers who influence and manipulate the jury at hand. The courtroom chaos is blinding like a shiny lure and the jury takes the bait, a caricature of a corrupt judicial system where the guilty is acquitted as the verdict comes through. The prosecution never stood a chance against her deep pockets and connections.
