be pretty contemporary, but the show was written six months ahead of time. Once we went on the air with a story involving two ministers being kidnapped in Canada. When it went on the air, that's exactly what had happened. The government of Canada asked us not to put the show on because it would be dangerous for the two ministers and it was not put on in Canada. The program is chiefly remembered for featuring then-unknown singer Tori Amos in an episode in which she portrayed a woman accused of murdering her married lover. It also marked one of the first television appearances of Cuba Gooding Jr. References External links Trial by Jury on IMDb.com 1989 American television series debuts 1991 American television series endings 1980s American drama television series 1990s American drama television series Television series by Bob Stewart Productions Television series by Dick Clark Productions Dramatized court shows Television series by CBS Studios First-run syndicated television programs in the United States English-language television shows
