 The jury must decide if a highly
decorated police officer is guilty of vehicular manslaughter in the
hit-and-run death of a homeless man, even though there are no
witnesses that can place him at the scene and there is no damage to
his vehicle .......
Decorated Police Officer Matthew Byrnes (Shuler) finds himself on the other side of the law when he is accused of killing a homeless man in a hit-and-run accident, on the "Pilot" episode of FOX's court room drama The Jury. Tempers flare in the deliberation room, where most jurors doubt that a man dedicated to serving and protecting could take another’s life. Witness testimony and evidence may put the policeman at the scene of the crime, but there is doubt, be it reasonable or not. Is Officer Byrnes guilty, or did someone else do it? FOX TV
