"This is a very funny production. The eight actors who are performing live bring so much to the audience and they are
complimented by the gifted actors who are on the video recording. One of the things that I really enjoyed about the
production was that the audience was exposed to the inner thoughts of the jury members. I was in stitches to hear some
of the inner thoughts of the jury in the production because I could identify." Nicole U. Hopkins, The Black Star News

"The jury is a wonderfully chosen cast of actors with expressive,
captivating faces that work well in extreme close-ups. . .One man raps,
"I gave her the benefit of the doubt. She's guilty, there's no way out."
A woman counters, "Hold on, big guy, not so fast. Maybe he drove her
to kill his ass." In between stanzas, the men rap, "Stupid bitch," while
the woman shake their heads and say, "Don't let no man treat you
like that.
One cannot help but marvel at the perfect coordination as the jurors
speak their dialogue in sync with the hip-hop song underscoring their
words. The beat pushes its way into your subconscious, causing many a
serious-faced patron to tap a foot while visibly swaying shoulders to the
rhythm." Adrienne Cea, "Dinner With Felons", OffOffOnLine

"Hankins turns a jaundiced eye and ear to the inside of the
Jury Room. We watch them bicker, argue, even physically
fight to persuade one another. Most troubling is that many of
them made up their minds before the trial began! So that as
the trial proceeds one is actually thinking about the defendant's
clothes, another about going on vacation, and a third is
worrying about getting back to work."
