Rendition Concering Books The Runaway Jury

Every jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to him. In Biloxi, Mississippi, a landmark tobacco trial with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake begins routinely, then swerves mysteriously off course. The jury is behaving strangely, and at least one juror is convinced he's being watched. Soon they have to be sequestered. Then a tip from an anonymous young woman suggests she is able to predict the jurors' increasingly odd behavior. Is the jury somehow being manipulated, or even controlled? If so, by whom? And, more importantly, why? From the Trade Paperback edition.

Evaluate Containing Books The Runaway Jury

Again, Grisham shines in this legal thriller, that I want to immediately pick up his next book on my list...But I resist the temptation, as I know I will be sick of legal stauff halfway through it. Maybe after a couple of other books...The story makes one question his/her own sense of right or wrong, at least it did a bit for me. There's really a blurred line (so they say), and one's philosophies, principles, and values in life are the factors that will influence a person's inclination. The plot

4.5 Stars rounded up to 5 Stars. This book was first published in 1996 and a few years later litigation against the tobacco industry in the real world started to happen. Here are two links that highlight the verdicts. Thank goodness the jury tampering was fictional but it sure made for a good story.https://www.foxnews.com/story/court-f...Tobacco Litigation: History & Recent Developments: https://www.nolo.com/legal-encycloped...

The Runaway Jury might have worked as fantasy but as a legal thriller set on planet Earth is not merely outlandish or asinine. It is bat shit crazy. Grisham doesn't have any inkling to how willing suspension of disbelief works. It works as long as the in-story logic is sound. So in a Superman story I might believe in a flying alien but I will scream bad writing when he survives Kryptonite, which supposedly kills him. But nothing that happens here could really work except in some La La Land, so

4.5*I loved this book.I thought it was a little long, and at times I got bored, which I justified by putting myself is in the shoes of those poor jurors who spent all that time in court. Besides, the unraveling of Marlee's secret wasn't that great. I don't know; it seems a little flimsy. Her parents died of lung cancer because they smoked, so she spends her adult life and her inheritance making tobacco companies pay. We also don't really know why Nicholas/Jeff goes along with this, the whole

Another excellent work by a world revered writer. The kernel of the theme here is seemingly encapsulated when the odious Fitch ponders: "Oh the questions he wanted to ask. He d love to start with the two of them and ask whose idea it was, such an ingenious devious plan to study litigation, then follow it across the country then plant oneself on the jury so a deal could be cut for a verdict. It was nothing short of brilliant. He could grill her for hours, maybe days about the specifics but he

In this saga, Grisham examines more closely than in his other novels the process of choosing a jury that can best respond to both the plantiff and the defendent without filling the 12 chairs with people who have too much prejudice for either side. There are people hired to help in the jury picking process, and they study every aspect of a potential juror's life. The culprit on trial in The Runaway Jury is the tobacco industry and the plaintiff is someone who lost a family member to lung cancer

Nicholas Easter, juror number 2 and a mysterious woman known as Marlee conspire to manipulate the jury to secure a verdict in a landmark trial involving a widow plaintiff (whose husband died of lung cancer because of cigarette addiction) and a big tobacco company. They have to play with both sides (the plaintiff and the defense) and go up against a cunning jury consultant Rankin Fitch who is an expert in jury manipulations. Fitch works for the defense.The Runaway Jury is an intensely suspenseful
