The ice in the clear cocktail glass has long since liquesced. The aroma of alcohol lingers hard in the air. Each juror has heard the long, deliberated tediousness of the lawyers - can they deliberate past their own personal challenges to find the truth; or, will the truth simply slip away as certainly as life itself? Only one leader will be able to guide this jury to the truth; and to, ultimately, a rebirth of spirit.'
