Enjoyable outing even though not based on the original Stephen King novel. This is strictly a side trip invented by the series writers, but worth watching nonetheless, even though it is a little predictable. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could be certain of every verdict in every case?

The question here is whether our defendant is guilty or innocent. In spite of the seal hanging in the courtroom hall, justice isn't blind, and everyone in the jury room has a past they cannot leave outside. John Smith is still exploring the scope of his gift/curse, but the other jurors also have to examine their preconceptions and prejudices. A few stretches for the plot, but otherwise a solid entry in an intriguing series.

This episode was a bit simplistic. Honestly I'd be surprised if a jury prospect who had a reputation like John Smith would be allowed to serve on a "real" jury. He too easily was able to change several juror's original preconceptions and make them more objective to the facts as he described them. The episode was positive in its ability to show how people's past experience can prejudice them in their future decision making.
