Citizen Verdict

Marty Rockman, notorious producer of the hit reality-TV show "So Sue Me", has a brand-new concept: "Citizen Verdict". Each week a real criminal case will be tried before the American people, but this time they're also the jury. 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. Selected by phone-in vote, the show's first contestant is Ricky Carr, a man accused of the rape and murder of popular celebrity-chef Dolly Hamilton. The case is a surefire ratings winner. But when an investigation begins, it becomes apparent that Ricky may be innocent of murder. Citizen Verdict featuring Armand Assante and Jerry Springer is streaming with subscription on Prime Video, streaming with subscription on Hoopla, free on Tubi, and 4 others. It's a drama movie with a less than average IMDb audience rating of 4.4 (487 votes).
