Runaway Jury Page #2

how many phone calls and letters

I get from expert jury consultants

such as yourself.

- I can imagine, sir.

- Go on, take a guess.

Well, I appreciate that

you invited me down here, sir.

Well, this is more important now.

Which one?

- I'm sorry?

- Well, I'm off to court.

This is the striped, non-striped.

Striped, non-striped.

Go... I would go with the striped one, sir.

It matches your jacket.

And you have a striped one

because you're from New York City.

Philadelphia, sir.

I think we're gonna go with

the non-striped one, Phyllis.

You know, as a clever jury consultant,

you should know that jurors down here

don't trust a lawyer

- who's too nattily turned out. Huh?

- It's...

- How familiar are you with my case?

- Very, sir.

- You think it's a strong case?

- Yes, sir.

- Ooh. Do you think it's a winning case?

- People don't win gun cases, Mr. Rohr.

I think I can help you with that, sir.

There's gotta be

another commuter flight.

Have you tried one

in Richmond or Atlanta?

I gotta call you back. He's here.

You represent the widow of a man

shot by a Vicksburg Firearms gun.

That gun company's finding out

things about prospective jurors

their husbands and their wives

don't even know.

- Is that right?

- Yeah. And the word is,

the defense has retained Rankin Fitch

as their lead jury consultant.

- Rankin Fitch?

- You don't...

No, I know who he is.

Mr. Fitch, how was your flight?

Fine. Are we up and running,

Miss Monroe?

We are. Kaufman's inside with Birk

and the kid from MIT, Lamb, he's here, too.

- What about Broussard, Forensic...

- Linguistics out of Rochester.

He missed his connecting flight

in Atlanta, but he'll be here by three.

- Who's our backup?

- Sir, he'll be here by three.

- Who is our backup?

- Levon Raines, out of Dallas.

All right. Call Mr. Broussard.

Tell him his service is no longer required.

- See what time Raines can be here.

- Yes, sir.

Mr. Fitch.

I just want you to tell me

why I need a jury consultant.

Fitch's team will be scientifically

picking jurors predisposed in his favor

by using video surveillance,

wiretaps, psych profiles, graphology...

- Barry, where's my car?

- It's where you parked it.

All right, come on. We're going together.

Sir, I have a master's in psychology

from the University of Chicago.

I know handwriting analysis. I know

this stuff. I really do. Plus civics, OK?

Delores Kinnerly,

registered Democrat,

occupational therapist. Devout cat lover.

Yeah, look at the way she turns away

from the man walking his dog.

She's definitely self-conscious

about her weight.

Maybe she just hates dogs.

- Good morning.

- Morning.

Freeze that, Mr. Lamb.
