<P>A gripping, penetrating, and engrossing examination of a diverse group of
twelve jurors, brought together on an uncomfortably hot day to deliberate after
hearing the 'facts' in a seemingly open-and-shut murder trial case. They retire
to the jury room to do their civic duty and serve up a just verdict for the
underprivileged minority defendant (with a criminal record) whose life is now at
stake, with explosive results.</P><B>
