Joella Simpson, a spirited housewife and mother of four in
additions to two foster sons is called to serve as a King County
juror in Seattle Washington. During the jury interrogation she is
questioned if in any way she is not qualified to serve as a juror
on the criminal trial questioning the sanity of the accused woman.
Joella refrains from admitting her brother- in-law, Mark Markham a
returned US Marine struggles with medical and mental issues brought
about by his exposure to Agent Orange during his Vietnam tour of
duty. Joella questions the jury system legality and becomes
disillusioned concerning the responsibilities demanded of jurors,
who have neither the experience nor education to judge the merits
of criminals. Joella becomes frustrated with the injustice of the
courts interpretation of "peers." and with her efforts to call
attention to the disabled veterans returning home medical issues
the officials representing the United States chose to ignore.
Joella finds herself questioning her principles, in her concern
over moral issues. She, as a juror, disrupts the case rather than
accept ground rules.
