A prominent black man is arrested for buying crack. His lawyer says 

he was framed, set up by a racist white cop. It is left to a jury of six (as is the case in misdemeanors and many civil cases in New York State), a racially mixed group of five women and one man, to decide who is telling the truth. This they do over three brutal, often explosive days of harrowing deliberation, as we take a peek behind the one door that will always remain closed to usthe door to the jury room.

* Come at 5:30 for casual BBQ and meander through the garden -  Our hosts will provide hot dogs and sausages with buns. Guests may bring beverages, side dishes, desserts or things that can grill quickly to share.
