The 12 jurors are introduced to each other and the manslaughter case that will become the focus of their lives for the next eight days. The jury is presented with confronting police evidence of a bloodied corpse lying at the base of a staircase. They hear how first responders find the defendant crying hysterically over the body and how he fought with paramedics to stay by his partner’s side. A police detective tells the court the accused said very little when arrested - apart from the revelation, 'We had a fight'.
