I’m the (self) designated movie whisperer, and while I’m not sure there’s a film that is specifically about the jury selection process (I was selected to be an alternate on a jury and it’s a brain numbing process) but there is a film about a jury undergoing its debate in a capital case. 12 Angry Men, 1957, Henry Fonda, B&W, but a film that is timeless.
FYI If a prospective juror indicates bias towards or against the alleged crime or offense that is at issue in the voir dire phase, that’s grounds to be dismissed.
Though this is an older film, its examination of the jury system is as valid as ever, and it may be even more important today when media sensationalism has such a strong effect on public perceptions. The movie stresses that the most crucial issue is not whether the jurors think the accused is guilty but, according to the law, whether that has been proven “beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Henry Fonda, perfectly cast in 12 Angry Men as a man who values reason, leads a troupe of familiar character actors in a movie that makes a virtue out of its cramped setting. Fonda is one of the great movie stars who will be discovered afresh by new generations.
