Full Metal Jury

The jury that did its job--and everyone else's job too.

The Jury Did its Job...and Everyone Else's Job, too.

What happens when a new jury is made up of jaded members? Some of them have sat on juries where the bailiff or a policeman stuck his head in the door and gave them information that was barred in court. Or maybe the government uses a fake tape recording to convict someone, and the jury decides to get hold of the original tape and see what's changed. Or maybe a judge has agreed to help the government because he's under audit by the IRS and facing criminal tax charges. All of these things can and do happen.

Pity the poor defense attorney being fed pilfered evidence by the jury. He knows the tape-recorded statement is the original, AND he knows it's stolen--does he go ahead and use it? Or does he report the theft to the court or to the police? And on it goes throughout the trial of Lisa Marie Dearing, accused of shooting the man who told her he was single, got her pregnant, then ran home to his wife and kids. No one wants to see that lady go to jail for life. Thaddeus Murfee is on her case and doing everything he can to keep her out of prison. And the jury is feeding him evidence and exhibits they are getting from—you’ll want to read about this jury for yourself, unlike any other!

I hated the AI narration! mispronounced words, horrible tone.

Hated the AI narration. Please use really people for good stories! There was no passion at all.

Story veey mixed up. Didn't feel like a story but a speech.

Beginning part of story didn't come to be answered. Characters had no vocal difference from each other so it was hard to tell who was talking in the conversations.
Story line average at best.

Difficult to follow

This book would probably be good of it was read by a person. There are several main and important characters but it is hard to keep them sperated because there is no change in the tone of the AI reader. Also there are a lot of places that would have a natural pause that the AI just keeps going Making it sound very monotone and the store simply drones on.

Patchwork Quilt

i felt i was listening to four different plots that seemed like they were developed separately then woven together. Sometimes the seam was double stitched and sometimes just tacked together with a long single stitch. It seemed as if the four stories were merged using an AI. I could barely tolerate the performance. I doubt Mr. Ellsworth did much more than provide the four plots that merged into one. Perhaps my perception is biased by the poor performance.

Virtual voice ruined it

The story was good and the only reason I finished it. The virtual voice has a lot to be desired. mis pronunciation being the most obvious, the hesitation between "Chapter and next number" was irritating. A saving grace was that Marcell smoked OpusX.
