JUDGE & JURY by James Patterson and Andrew Gross (2006)
Andie DeGrasse, an aspiring actress and single mom, is not your typical juror. Hoping to get dismissed from the pool, she tells the judge that most of her legal knowledge comes from a bit part curling around a stripper's pole in The Sopranos. But she still ends up as juror #11 in a landmark trial against a notorious mob boss....
Jennifer Witt was abused by her husband, so who could blame her if she struck back? But when her husband is shot dead, she refuses to admit she killed him. Her lawyer believes her, especially since her adored son was also killed, but soon he begins to wonder if his judgement has let him down.
