Wanted - New TV Show Ideas (Blog Maverick)

May 17th 2007 3:31PM Title:
You The Jury

Show Concept:
A 1 hour long legal courtroom show from the point of the jury, no behind the scenes legal wrangling or police work. All you see is what a jury would see, but testimonies from witnesses would be cut to sequences of the events from their point of view (flash backs) allowing juxtaposition from different witnesses points of view. 40 minutes into the show, all testimony has been heard. For the next 10 minutes using online voting, SMS and regular call centers, viewers vote on wether or not the accused is guilty or not guilty. Depending on public opinion, the proper corresponding ending will be aired in the final 10 minutes (using pre-taped outcomes).

The show would be shot with the same level of quality as Law & Order and real cases could be used. During the 10 minute voting period, the case would be quickly reviewed and the law (and how it applies to the case) would also be explained to aid people making their decisions.

Further information would also be available online after the show aired, showing how the case actually turned out (if it was based on actual events) and possibly how people voted by region, race, age, etc, as well as including further legal information and discussions.
