Prime Video has set July 21 for the premiere of Judge Judy Sheindlin‘s new series Justice on Trial. All eight episodes of the series will drop at once, exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories. You can watch a trailer above.
“The daily lives of 340 million Americans are impacted by the verdicts in the eight landmark cases that the series explores,” per Prime Video. The viewer decides if the courts got it right.
“Judges do not make law. They interpret the law. Judges are people. Sometimes they get it wrong. Then what happens? When and how long will it take to get it right? I’ve put justice on trial,” says Judge Sheindlin. “I couldn’t be more proud of this series. Everybody who watches it will come away a little smarter. Mission accomplished.”
The series explores issues with reenactiments, trial transcripts and news footage woven together by Sheindlin. It presents questions such as “Is all speech protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution? If not, why not? How do you know the boundaries? Who gets to decide what we teach our children in school? How and why can the evidence of a dead body be suppressed, thereby freeing the murderer?”
Justice on Trial is created and executive produced by Sheindlin. Casey Barber, David Carr, and Randy Douthit are also executive producers. Amy Freisleben is a co-executive producer.
