Citizen Verdict (2003)

Marty Rockman, the notorious producer of reality-TV, has a brand new show "Citizen Verdict". Each week a real criminal case will be tried before the American people, but this time they're also the jury. If the defendant is voted guilty in a death penalty case, Rockman will televise the execution. Selected by phone-in vote, the show's first contestant is Ricky Carr -- a man accused of the rape and murder of popular celebrity-chef Dolly Hamilton. The case is a surefire ratings winner. But when an investigation begins, it becomes apparent that Ricky may be innocent. His fate is in the hands of the viewers. The film stars Jerry Springer, Armand Assante, and Roy Scheider.

Very BAD movie

this movie goes really slow. Not what we thought it was supposed to be. A reality show is much better. Did not expect a lot from this movie but it was a total waste of monies!! Don't bother to buy or rent. Not worth it. January 23, 2007

Much better than I expected

With the so-so cover art and Jerry Springer as one of the stars, I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised! Great acting, good production and king of scary, when you consider the movie's premise. Overall, not an academy-award winner, but a great evening's entertainment. Armand Assante gives a good performance. November 10, 2005
