The defendant mishandled an important order,
resulting in catastrophic damage.
And then he passed out, soaked in his own urine.
He destroyed my career, my business, and my mental health.
Would you even hire you with leaky barrels
all around here filled with chemicals?
Check this out.
What is it? I don't know.
There's no labels. It's burning up my nose.
I have here some photos which clearly show chemical barrels.
Objection. Sustained.
I'm sorry, sir. They can't come into evidence.
Is that your girlfriend? I mean, yeah,
it's my girlfriend. But who's that?
I have to, uh, appoint a full-fledged juror.
Sit down. Number 13,
you're gonna be our new full-fledged juror.
Please come up.
It works out for the best
'cause, uh, I was supposed to be getting the Lone Pine script.
It's called Lone Pine. Oh.
We just have this connection, my wife, Sonya and I.
Sir, this isn't relevant. Sit down.
It reminded me of my wife, Sonya.
My wife Sonya. We've been separated for eight months.
I was trying to put up the front that everything was okay.
Everyone, I'm a liar.
In my opinion, the foreperson
is essentially the captain of the jury.
I would really rather not be a foreperson.
If I have to talk in front of a crowd, get a little jittery.
Juror number 6, you are the foreperson.
Are you capable of doing that?
Yes, Your Honor.
Fingers crossed. Today is the last day
we're going to deliberate, uh, hopefully today.
I have no idea what could come up, what can come up.
It always seems like there's something.
Good morning. Good morning, y'all. Ooh.
That's a nice looking shirt, Vanessa.
Thank you. It's true, with your eyes,
gorgene. Thank you.
I'm ready to deliberate.
- I guess - Guys, guys, big news.
Lone Pine director-- canceled.
Yeah, canceled.
Done. Done. Dead.
I guess he called some bitch sweetheart or something like that.
Can't do that.
Anyway, let's, let's do this. Let's focus.
I just had this really, really, really bad feeling
that not only gonna have people who are on the fence,
but we're gonna have people who are on opposite sides of the fence.
The judge did confirm yesterday, it has to be unanimous,
so it makes me a little bit nervous.
Hmm. Insane.
Like when I came to this,
I was-- I was totally fine
with being facing the crowd, you know? Is that what you want?
Oh, I could just be chilling right here. I could be giving my input.
Let somebody else lead this [bleep] shit.
Well, what'd you think now?
I don't know. I don't [bleep] gonna do to come
to a conclusion on this one.
The fact that I'll have to stand up and deliver the news
that the very least one person's not gonna like to hear,
just kinda gives me butterflies a little.
I--I remember you, you told me that you--
you did not want to be... foreman.
- I know. - And-- uh, foreperson.
And I also did not-- did not want to be a foreperson.
I'm glad he is not, not me.
Yeah.
Let me check everybody out.
Y'all made. Y'all snapped off.
I'm proud. You know what I'm saying?
'Cause y'all a reflection of, you know, we in this together.
We got some serious stuff to do today.
Y'all look over the evidence.
Once y'all done looking it over, y'all will vote.
If it's unanimous,
we can go back into the courtroom.
If it is not, you gonna keep voting
until y'all can get to a unanimous vote.
Knock yourselves out. Trust yourself and trust each other.
Once we get the toxicology report,
we're gonna put this blood alcohol content up there.
Do you feel persuasive?
No, because I coming at this unbiased,
so no, I don't feel persuasive
because I'm not trying to convince anybody of anything, you know?
- Interesting. - That's why I'm nervous about this.
I just wanna hear what other people have to say honestly before I...
...make a decision. Yeah.
I don't know, man. I--I'm also new. I don't know what I'm doing, man.
Not proud to admit it, man.
It's gonna be one of them days.
We have to step up when we are needed.
And, uh-- but on the other hand,
I'm also-- I don't really have a responsibility
because I'm not on the jury technically
so I can kind of zone out
like going to a party with a bunch of friends
and you can drink your ass off
'cause someone else is gonna be the designated driver. Not me.
Hey, do you guys want to just start?
Yes. We can, right?
Vanessa, Todd, are we good? You guys wanna start?
Maybe we do, uh, something
to show what we are thinking.
This is essentially us, like, us taking a vote right now.
Just gauging how everybody feels.
So how-- which way-- which way are we leaning with everybody feeling?
I don't think the defendant is liable.
- That's me. - I think he is.
I think the defendant's liable.
So we get our one for one. Jeannie, how are you feeling?
I feel that the defendant is not liable.
The defendant is not liable. How are you feeling, Noah?
I--I feel-- I feel the same-- I feel the same way.
Do you have anything you wanna support that with?
Anything?
Uh...
...no, no, I mean, I just-- that's just kind of--
That's how you feel? That's how I feel, yeah.
Todd, how are you feeling?
Uh, not liable.
Inez. - I think the defendant is liable.
Ken, how you feel?
I believe the defendant is liable.
Lonnie? - I don't think he's liable.
Vanessa? - Um, I do think he's liable.
I agree with Ken.
They said more likely than not.
Well, at the moment
it feels to me like they're both liable,
which means she didn't prove anything.
But if I have to pick a side,
I'd say he's liable.
Ravi, how are you feeling?
My 30-year face reading experience
is the fact and he's liable.
Face reading?
Yes, I do face reading.
What am I thinking about right now?
You are in thinking, not thinking,
thinking, not thinking, like that.
- That is what I was doing. - So where are you?
I'm here with Barbara. I find them both liable.
As you can see here, you guys, we're damn near split decision.
Pretty much half of us are gonna have to change our mind.
- Yeah, what do you got, Todd? - This might be helpful
for people that, um, think about this differently.
If this is his station,
then...
...this is one of the places where the rings were.
And this is...
...the other place where the rings were.
This is just helpful, I think, for me to see his proximity
to these open containers.
He's been observed walking in
and nobody made any comment on it.
He's starting work
and this is producing the T-shirts.
And these are open. This is heating up.
At some point, he passes out here.
Before he passes out, he would've had to override the computer.
Could I grab these? Mm-hmm.
He's being covered
with these shirts as they're coming out.
If there's 3,000 in the order,
this is presumably causing a disruption
if people have to get around this machine.
If there were 25 people on the floor,
how come no one saw someone just pass out?
And then, if he's covered in urine and excrement
just seems to-- it seems inconsistent to me.
He only made yellow. He, he-- okay.
They said that he also poopied. Wait a minute.
No, they said the other.
If you say void your bowels, it means poop.
That's visual. I can see that coming out.
That's poop. That's pooping. The bowel movement is...
He said the wrong terminology. Voiding-- yeah.
He either said something wrong, but...
Should we ask the judge
if it was poopies or pee-pee? It doesn't matter. Either one.
It's poopies. What exam you have to do?
Colonoscopy? Yeah. Or an enema? Yes!
They make you void your bowels.
I'm not trying to talk about poop all day.
He--he used the bathroom on himself. Okay?
He did say he emptied his bowels. He didn't say what that meant.
Well, bowels, bowels is a duty. Okay.
You're not supposed to be talking
and we're not supposed to be talking about chemicals anyway,
because the judge said to strike it.
The judge did order us to disregard this notion.
But what I won't disregard is the fact
that when Lonnie and I were at the factory,
we pointed out that there were very clearly some barrels moved.
But it is very possible that
those barrels were moved up into that room
because they knew we were coming to eliminate that odor.
Uh, I saw this coming though.
Good ol' stalemate. You know what is hard?
People can't even get on the same page when you order [bleep] lunch.
It's hard to get everybody on the same page about this.
I'm--I'm basing my position
on his prior work experience. Mm-hmm.
And each position
was very consistently,
uh, careless.
So you're saying people can't change?
He had many opportunities to change.
He has not shown
that he is, uh, changed.
I just--I just wanna say-- I just wanna say one thing.
I-- yeah, I've been teaching for ten years
and I know hundreds, hundreds of Trevors,
you know, they have goals and they have dreams and stuff,
but they're not gonna accomplish that unless they learn from their consequences.
If we, as a group find him liable, he learns from that.
I think we're doing him a favor. That's all.
It's not about tough love, it's about the facts.
That's just how-- that's just how I'm feeling.
It's like, um, if you have
smoking, uh, cigarette,
uh, short--
if you do it for a short time,
then you might not get, uh...
...emphysema.
But if you smoke cigarettes for a very long time,
someday you will get emphysema.
And that day for Trevor
was his, uh, emphysema day.
Makes sense.
Did the plaintiff supply enough evidence
in your guys' mind
to prove that Trevor was negligent?
Let's say we don't blame Trevor, then who do we blame?
- Somebody's responsible. - The boss.
- No, no, no. - Yes, there is-- yes, you're right.
- Somebody is responsible. - No.
An incident occurred. - No.
If you've been fired from all these jobs,
then that's, that's-- for me,
I'm already sold.
You know, you're guilty. You're guilty.
No offense to Trevor or to Sean.
But they didn't seem thoughtful in what they were wearing.
And that was a little offensive for me.
Little bit.
I had a trucking company
and as the employer,
I am always responsible
for my drivers.
At the end of the day, I am responsible.
- She is responsible for whatever he did. - It doesn't--
- it doesn't have to be - And he also said she's rarely there.
Like he has never seen her at the factory.
Does she even know what's going on? What does that mean?
That's... Yeah, what does that mean?
It means she's not running her business right
'cause you have to take in consideration the working conditions there.
You know, you can't-- you-- Yeah, he may have done it,
but he's tripping on chemicals. You can't just ignore that.
I would like to know what his blood alcohol content was.
I mean, he--he tells us that he was drinking the night before.
We know that for sure.
So was it a very, very low amount?
And does that reflect or is-- does he have a 0.1 blood alcohol content?
Was he drinking that morning before he went to work as well, too?
Like, to me that's very, very relevant to the case.
Foreperson.
Oh, here you are. What's up, bailiff?
There you go.
Oh, is this... - That's it.
His blood alcohol content.
Um, we were told that we would see the toxicology report.
Um, he wasn't able to talk about it, but when we look at it,
he confirmed what I've been talking about.
His blood alcohol content is going to be very, very low
because it's just going to be the leftover from the night before.
That was key to me
because if his blood alcohol content was very high,
that means that more than likely he was drinking
in the morning before he went to his shift,
which would've shown us that, yeah, you know, maybe he was drunk
and maybe that's how this whole thing happened.
So something I've been wanting to see this entire time is the toxicology report,
'cause this is gonna tell us what his blood alcohol content is.
And according to the toxicology report,
his blood alcohol content
is 0.011.
Judging off this number
and going off my own past experiences, this is nothing.
This is him drinking the night before.
So to me, that corroborates his story that he was not drunk.
That can be mouthwash.
So he did not pass out because he was wasted.
That blood alcohol level, that's the determining factor.
The smoking gun, as they say.
I was appointed the title of foreperson. It was my job to lead.
That was made abundantly clear that once we went into deliberation,
it was my job to, you know, kind of take the wheel,
being at the whiteboard, writing everything out.
It just felt like the right place to be.
If I'm gonna be leading the conversation,
I needed to be in a position to lead.
When I ran through this in my head, I tried finding holes
in the way I was leaning towards and I couldn't find any.
So just to recap,
so we know that Trevor Morris placed himself
at the workstation where the incident occurred.
He said he started working and he was then shaken awake.
You guys saw the workstation.
You have to type something into the keyboard,
you have to submit it to the machine.
We heard from three different people.
A human would have to have intervened
in order for that machine to not shut itself down.
Are you [bleep] kidding me? Oh, it was you.
Okay. Sorry. Go ahead. Sorry.
But Mr. Schiller has testified
he didn't see Trevor show up to work that day.
Some...
Oh, my God. - I'll be done. I'll be done.
Where did you get that shake? What is it?
Sorry. Done.
Mr. Schiller, he didn't see him at his work station.
He got a report from somebody else who was on the floor
that Trevor was being disruptive.
So he finished his phone call and then he went down there.
So based off of everything we've been told,
more likely than not,
was it Trevor who pushed these buttons in?
It's his workstation. He's admitted to being there.
So I think that he was the one who entered the information wrong.
But I don't think it was his negligence
that caused him to input this wrong information.
It sounds like he had poor working conditions.
Going back to the comment Pat made.
As an employer, you are responsible
for not only providing safe working conditions,
but you are responsible for what your employees are doing, too.
I wanna talk about his workstation next.
What Lonnie and I noticed directly across from his station,
there were two rings right here that were very, very clearly
some sort of paint, some sort of chemical.
So, this corroborates what he was telling us yesterday
when he said that his workstation was not the same.
He specifically said that these tanks had been moved.
And Lonnie and I did witness this.
And Todd can corroborate this one, too.
When we went upstairs, there was a backroom,
very, very, very heavy chemical smell coming out of there.
Like if we would've stayed in there for a few minutes,
very easily could've got lightheaded. Um, I just wanted to say
that I use a device that, um, uh, allows me to make sure
that it's not just, um, some residue leftover in my own nose.
So I--I used this when we were upstairs
and the chemical smell was still strong.
Bless you. Nice. Good.
Thank you for clarifying. Yeah.
If Trevor really was such a problem,
probably was negligent on their part
for even keeping him around for this long
if he was such a terrible employee that he has been made out to be.
Then you look at why were these moved?
Why would you take these barrels up those stairs
to just stash them in this room?
To me, that doesn't add up.
So, that's why I'm leaning the way I'm leaning.
I remember you started off with liable
and then you ended up being non-liable.
And that-- the big thing for you was...
This exists.
So, this is what changed my mind.
But it was speculation until Trevor testified.
Trevor said everything I needed him to say
when he told us about his unsafe working conditions,
about his stuff being move that was near a station,
that put everything together for me.
Vanessa, I never heard from you for a while,
- so I'd love to hear from you. - I'm having a hard time
believing anything
that Trevor says.
Do you believe, like, the plaintiff's side?
Yeah, because, like, the plaintiff presented her case, right?
If I don't believe what Trevor's saying,
why would I think that the plaintiff is lying?
You can maybe not believe Trevor,
but do you believe our three jurors
that saw these things upstairs?
But I would assume that they have chemicals at a printing factory.
As a jury, we have to figure out the inconsistencies
of what's going on in this case.
They still, um, have to--
the burden of proof to prove that that happened, right?
I mean, that's, you know, that's Court 101.
I will tell you why I--I changed my vote.
We are a decision-making body.
And I take what you say.
And, Ronald, what you said
was very important for me
to reconsider
what potential manipulation
there may have been.
Are you saying that basically things don't add up?
Much shorter way than what I just said. Yes. Thank you.
- Do you think we should do a vote now? - You guys wanna do a vote?
Yes. Let's--let's do it.
Wait, can we do an anonymous vote?
Because he keeps... Yeah.
No. Wait, uh, you're not making your own decision?
He's, like, not even listening. I'm, I'm, I'm-- no I'm...
And it's starting to piss me off. ...totally-- I'm saying--
I'm saying what I believe. It just happens
to be also what my girlfriend feels.
No, you got to make your own decision.
We're gonna table that because that's not what this is about right now.
- I agree. - We're not trying to rush us,
but we've got a job to do.
So that-- that's gonna be table.
I'm paying attention. I wanna do the best job that I can,
especially since the judge appointed me as the foreperson.
Now I feel like I have the responsibility to lead.
James, can we borrow your hat?
You're gonna sell it on eBay?
Liable means he was negligent in his duties.
Who's got James' hat? Is this it? No.
Put-- I didn't put L or an N.
I wrote little more
Is that yours?
Everybody in?
All right. Pat, read me off what you had.
Not liable.
Not liable. Wow.
Not liable.
Not liable. Wow, again.
Not liable.
Not liable. One, one more.
Liable.
Ay, ay, ay. All right.
So we got one person on the fence.
Without naming any names,
we'll open this to the group.
What is this supporting evidence
that shows that Trevor is liable?
And again, this is for everyone.
And this is not a rhetorical question. This is-- I'm asking you guys.
I'm just trying to lead the discussion in a way
to essentially just coax information out of people
to see why they would be still feeling this way.
I mean, I'll speak towards whoever voted liable
without naming any names.
I made it a point to not single that person out
because we did an anonymous vote.
I don't want that person to feel like they're gonna be
attacked if they spoke up.
I--I really don't know what I'm gonna do,
to be honest.
If you speak, it doesn't mean you're the person that said liable.
Uh, well, this isn't getting resolved anytime soon.
So what do you say we take a break?
Boss, half hour, forty-five, full hour?
So 11 of us have voted in one direction
and one of us, uh, voted
in the other direction. Mm-hmm.
How is it going? How long do you think
this is going to take?
I mean, who's to say?
You know, we've, uh, we've gotten really close
and I don't wanna put a number on it.
I don't wanna put the date on it. Um, but...
Yeah, I hope it's over as soon as possible.
And I, you know, and I feel the opposite.
Ross.
He's the one-- the one.
Honestly, I think he's doing this
because he wants us to stay here
and he loves this community of us.
And I understand,
but it's a little bit not fair.
But I love him. But, uh, he's-- you know,
but I think he's doing this because he doesn't wanna go home.
Because he's going back to heartache, so...
Too aggressive. This is about self-love.
Hey, don't act like anything.
So, yeah, but, hey, um...
...can you talk to Ross?
You know he's gonna listen to you.
We're never gonna get out of here if you don't get through to him.
Just looking at the verdict?
Uh-huh. Aiming to.
Just stay where I can see you, guys. Right over there.
It's a delicate situation, you know,
because I have to get somebody to change their mind.
But I can't pressure them.
I don't want them to feel like they're being forced to change their mind
just to go along with the group.
But at the same time, we also have to talk
about the facts and evidence of the case.
We can't, you know, bring our personal feelings into this.
I don't know if that's what's happening.
First of all, I just wanna say that I'm sorry
for what you're going through, man. I--I can only imagine.
Um, with that being said, you know,
regardless of whatever outcome we come here,
whatever decision we come to,
you know, we're always gonna be a family.
We're always gonna be there for each other.
It's just like you said, you know, we formed some strong bonds.
Um...
I just don't know.
I just wanna tell you-- I just wanna tell you this, okay?
I know why you brought me out here. And I know...
Like, this is affecting somebody's life right now.
Like, this is really gonna affect his life.
So, I think we've got to come to a decision.
I, uh...
I--I just really like hanging out with you guys.
Okay? So if we can just stretch it a little bit.
You see, I got nothing going on at home.
We just got to-- we got to focus, you know,
and I think we got to set our feelings aside.
And again, I'm sorry, man. I can only imagine.
But we've, we've got to get this finished.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
I was gonna tell you the other day...
All right. Let's take another vote.
Okay. Same question, guys.
Is the defendant liable, not liable?
Ronald.
You think he's liable? Right in now.
Okay. I'll be all right with me.
Wait-- okay. Liable or not liable?
L or N, right?
I know. Two good people.
There you go. Do you wanna read it, James?
I just kind of mix it up.
What do you got for me? Jesus Christ.
All right. Needs to be involved.
First one not liable.
Second one,
defendant is not liable.
Third one,
not liable.
Fourth, not liable.
Fifth, not liable.
Sixth, Z-- Oh, not liable. Sorry.
Okay. So close. - Come on, James.
Hey. - Not liable.
Not liable.
Last one.
Not liable.
Oh, my gosh.
We did it, guys.
We did it. Good job, guys.
All right! Good job.
All right. What a job.
We did it! I did it!
You guys finally came to a verdict.
How does it feel?
I'm humbled to think that just a lowly alternate,
an understudy, if you will,
uh, made the greatest impact of all.
Just hiring those fake paparazzi to come here make a scene.
What? Are you serious?
Sequestered for nothing? Yeah.
Oh, no, no, it doesn't matter. We're, we're a family.
You asshole.
You can't take that away from me.
All rise.
Please be seated.
Uh, has the jury reached a verdict?
- Yes, we have, Your Honor. - Okay. Would you please stand up
and would you please give the verdict to the bailiff?
Would you please read the verdict?
We, the jury, in the above-entitled action,
render the following verdict,
to the charge of negligence resulting in property damage,
no personal injury,
we find the defendant, Trevor Julian Morris, not liable.
Oh. To the charge
of negligent infliction of emotional distress,
we find the defendant, Trevor Julian Morris, not liable.
I told you. I told you. Okay.
Uh, Mr. Foreperson, could you come up here with the verdict?
Take a seat here. I just got one more formality.
Can I see the verdict, please?
You are-- you are juror number six, is that correct?
- Correct. - This is your signature?
- That is correct. - Okay.
Uh, I hereby enter judgment
in favor of the defendant and against the plaintiff.
Hold on just-- hold on just a sec. Sorry.
Your name is?
- Ronald Gladden. - Okay.
Now, as I said weeks ago,
when you first entered this courtroom, that this is the last trial of my career.
What I didn't tell you is it's also the first
because I'm not a real judge,
and you're not a real foreperson,
and this is not a real case.
What?
