The Jury Has a Verdict! is the third of a trilogy of legal Courtroom dramas/thrillers featuring fictitious attorney Ted Born, and it is a prequel to the first two: The Impossible Mock Orange Trial and The Vow: Ted Born's Last Trial. While denominated as Courtroom dramas/thrillers, all three of the books narrate the struggles of an ethical lawyer trying to achieve his conception of justice for his clients, often in the face of heavy odds against him. In his efforts he of course must deal with opposing counsel and opposing parties, juries, and Judges. The present work focuses on Ted Born's interactions with Judges and juries, exploring several different experiences as he strives to achieve justice for his clients. As hard as he tries to avoid it, Ted Born finds himself on the wrong side of a powerful Federal Judge, and he has to try to reconcile his respect for the law and the Judge with his responsibility to secure justice for his client. The book puts the readers squarely in the midst of all the triumphs and traumas of Ted Born through the use of "you-are-there type dialogues. The title comes from the moment when lawyers and their clients are anxiously waiting for their jury to conclude deliberations, and the Court bailiff finally comes to them and says, "The jury has a verdict. Please return to the courtroom." Ultimately, the reader must ponder the question, What is justice?, as the narratives lay out the competing ways of viewing the facts of each case. The book is intended both to entertain and grippingly engage readers while leaving them to reflect on the great issues of our justice system, usually very good, but also fragile.
