This video wraps up a two-part miniseries that probes issues of immigration, discrimination, and the law. A young white man from a wealthy family is put on trial after a local Polish store owner accuses him of aggravated assault. The presentation follows the dramatized storyline, emphasizing the role and importance of the American judicial system in determining guilt and assigning appropriate punishment. The program concludes with a profile of the history of America's jury system, looking first at the colonies, the influence of King George, and the mention of courts in the Constitution, then tracing the role of the people and justice in ancient Athens, Greece, to America's modern day democracy.
