If the defendant is voted guilty in a death penalty case, Rockman will televise the execution. When an escalation in violent crime and terrorism hits the state of Florida, Governor Tyler, desperate to be seen as a tough-on-crime Republican leader in the upcoming Presidential race, decides to give Rockman his chance and "Citizen Verdict" goes into production in Tampa.

    really bad movie. if you expecting more like Runaway Jury, get ready to disappointed.

    Well acted with an intriguing concept, but poorly directed and edited with only a mediocre script at best. There are a LOT of unnecessary filler scenes and characters that were left in.
