Summary

During a sensational murder trial involving a rich, white teenage girl-- a twin-- on trial for the horrific murder of her toddler brother, two of the sequestered jurors fall into a furtive affair. During deliberations Hannah and Graham learn they are on opposing sides of the case and realize that their fellow jurors are wise to their affair. After the trial's end, as Hannah returns home to her much older husband, an exploding media fury creates a frenzy of public outrage. The jury seems to have convicted the wrong twin. And the judge, having received an anonymous letter about the jurors' sexual encounters, announces she is releasing the jurors' names to the media. -- adapted from jacket
