The Lifetime tv movie ONE ANGRY JUROR (in which Aaron plays District Attorney Frank Riley) airs on Monday November 15th at 9pm et/pt.

So make sure to set your dvr or tivo (or however those things work). And I’ll post another reminder on Monday.

Movie Synopsis: Based on a true story, One Angry Juror follows the story of Sarah Walsh (Capshaw), a tough, opinionated, no-nonsense New Orleans attorney who has been chosen to serve on the jury of a murder trial. Reluctantly serving her duty, she is apathetic towards the defendant until she is convinced that he may actually be innocent. Unwavering, Sarah deadlocks the jury to secure a mistrial. When they retry the case, she partners with the defense attorney Donald Burston (Jeremy Ratchford, Cold Case) and detective Derrick White (Michael Jai White, Why Did I Get Married Too?) and the investigation leads them through a dangerous maze of corruption. With the support of her husband (Jonathan Scarfe, ER), Sarah begins to reconcile her own past and realize that she is one man’s last chance for freedom.

Protecting the Innocent

The U.S. criminal justice system relies on the sound judgment of its citizens, but what if a jury gets it wrong? In the trial of Walter Byrd, 11 members agreed he was guilty. One woman fiercely believed he was innocent. She followed her instincts, forced a mistrial and then joined his defense team to argue for his freedom. The “One Angry Juror” movie is based on a true story about fighting corruption and seeking justice. Watch a preview now, see a photo gallery of the star, Jessica Capshaw, and catch the premiere on November 15 at 9 pm et/pt on Lifetime!
