La jurado 272

Jessica, the teenage daughter of the great Los Angeles mogul Lou Silver, disappears on her way home from school. Her teacher, Bobby Nock, a twenty-five-year-old African American, becomes the prime suspect when illicit messages that he had exchanged with the student come to light and the victim's blood is found in her car. The judicial process becomes the most mediatic of the last decade. The prosecution believes they are facing a solid and easy-to-win case, but Maya Seale, a young woman who is part of the popular jury, is convinced of Bobby's innocence and will begin to influence the rest of the members to find him not guilty. This controversial decision, which will change everyone's destiny forever, is questioned ten years later, when the case is reopened and the career of Maya, now a prestigious lawyer, falters. And the secretive lives of the jurors and the Silver family itself will also be shaken, while all trace of Bobby has been lost.
