Mistrial
1996, English. Directed by Heywood Gould.
One man has taken control of the courtroom - and it isn't the judge.
When a cop-killer goes free, a detective's search for personal justice veers dangerously out of control. Declaring a mistrial, he takes the accused, the judge and the jury hostage...and begins a trial of his own.
