Runaway Jury

Introduction

Runaway Jury is an American movie directed by Fleder in collaboration with others. It is a documentary that involves a case of a widow who sues a gun manufacture reason being that her husband was killed in an office annihilation relating an easily acquired –armament. The widow shows her determination in the case thus, she hires a traditional decent Wendell who in this case is a dustbin Hoffman as her representative. The gunman is also not left behind because he also has a lawyer who is well known as the instrument of the devil (Grisham 33).

 In America the laws imposed a levy of up to $200 and registration requirement fee particularly on transfer of certain firearms which included pistols, machine guns and rifles among others. However, it was observed that the laws in the days omitted most guns in the listing of the firearms that were prohibited. Therefore, in 1938, the Federal Firearms Act was enacted which focused on making the purchase and selling of guns illegitimate if there was no federal firearms licenses involved. Licenses guaranteed that firearms were sold by authorized people from the federal government and a record was kept for the customers who purchased the guns (CAS, R44.3).

Runaway Jury appears to the audience with its uniqueness especially with Dustin Hoffman who has never shared any screen shot before. Despite the uniqueness it also feels familiar in some instances probably with Hackman who played several films like hand-tailored of modern corruption before. The Run Jury was produced and released in 2003 however, the documentary is portrayed specially the corporeal stabbings it highly re-counts to the debauched act which happened in America (Grisham 45).

 

 

The director of Run Jury ensures that the flow is highly attained thereby, he generated a mishmash as a court drama as well as character study thereby the entire film was able to acquire its popularity as a golden picture making for years. With a clear empathetic of the movie it is easy for the viewers to understand the liberating power of hope as well as justice themes of freedom and resurrection with the idea of the characters confined that fear is able to hold anyone a jailbird but only with hope that one can attain freedom( Grisham 130).

The audience should understand that justice is the only key solution to solving cases. The producer included the audience as part of the movie by giving them the chance to decide on where justice should be placed. In our case in the Jury, the client is a gun fabrication sued by a family of casualty of the weapon’s violence. With a clear follow of the movie the audience understands the strength of law and by this some might think if the Run Jury hits American home video it can be difficult for the citizens where smokers might not even be allowed to do their activities in the imagination areas (Grisham 45).

Jury is yet well acted especially because it contains amazing cast which lifts the unexceptional as well as its issues. The script has got several loops holes in judgement which even takes what one sees as seriousness thereby, directing lacks of sharpness in the narrative. The script contains a huge liability particularly because in some instants certain plots disappear during the running of the drama as well as in some characters (Grisham 125).

 

The film is of much help to the audience considering the characters of the suspect where no one is able to change him. Despite him getting into behind bars using his skills, the director was keen ensuring that the court ruled with justice. The drama keeps the audiences in an underwhelming mood by providing a whole lot of explanation of what is going on as we begging to discover every character’s hidden motives after they cease to be dazzling. Easter the prosecutor is not at any point seen at work but rather her study in applied psychology is seen behind bars. The producer ensured the Jury room appeared in a curious manner considering the fact that everyone is curious ion the judgement (Grisham 33).

Supreme Court is one of the optional bodies which Easter opts to get a satisfying and worthy hearing. The process of appeal against such association ruling is welcomed at the Supreme Court; she is required to submit a written statement to the court of Appel. First of all, the body allows only those parties who have exhausted all other legal remedies at their disposal before seeking the appeal. The stoker will need to entail her names, copy of the decision being sought for appeal among other important documents deemed as the necessity by the body. And more importantly, the appellant is mandated to remit a certain amount of money the CAS upon which the case will commence (CAS, R44.2). The procedural court proceedings are administered by the judge selected by the court to conduct and avail the verdict. Normally, on the first day of the hearing, both sides are requested to provide their detailed evidence only if they think from the best opinion they deem them relevant to the case before them. The drama tries to bring the fact that every jury has got a leader where the verdict belongs to him (CAS, R44.3).

The Runaway Jury adheres to the American law where the suspect is convicted and given the penalty associated with owning firearms for the people of color was receiving 39 lashes on the bare back and the person exposed to the public. Traces of gun control laws that prohibited gun ownership started in Dodge City, Kansas back in 1879 when posts notifying on the prohibition of firearms started spreading across the state. The first law was passed in Dodge City in the early 1880s which provided that every citizen that carried concealed firearm in the state was violating the state’s laws and heavy penalties would be exerted (Grisham 125).

 

The movie writer’s aim to the readers is educate them on the fact that, in United States, there is a perceptible divergence in the gun control laws in different states. In most of these states that have gun control laws depend basically on the federal firearms laws that offer a broader scope regarding the issue of the bearing firearms. However, it is factual that among all the states in U.S the minority are the ones that have created the assault weapon bars that compare to the federal assault weapon bans that prevailed in the history of United States.  As a result, the major controversy that exists between the advocators and contestants of the gun control laws is raised by the provisions made by the Second Amendment to the Constitution. The Second Amendment stands as the most guaranteed and important right by the Bill of Right. It provides that every citizen of United States has a right to keep and bear firearms and should not be infringed.  Therefore, regardless of the clarity provided by the second amendment, different states have exhibited consisted attacks on the individual rights granted by the provision (CAS, R44.3).
