Title from container.
Host, Alan Alda ; featuring, Luke Murtha, Curtis Kin, Tony Ricco and Hon. Jed S. Rakoff.
Takes a fictitious crime and builds from it a gripping courtroom drama. The trial takes us into the brains of the major participants-defendant, witnesses, jurors, judge-while Alan Alda visits the laboratories of some dozen neuroscientists exploring how brains work when they become entangled with the law. The research raises the controversial question: How does our ability to peer into people's minds and decode their thoughts and feelings affect trials like the one we are watching in the future?
DVD, region 1, NTSC, widescreen; stereo.
