Celeste Wood wins the trial. Marlee and Nick's past is discovered by one of Fitch's henchmen. They were high school sweethearts when Marlee's sister was killed in a school shooting. The town sued the gun company from which the shooter got the gun from, but they lost and went bankrupt. Fitch had worked on the case. Marlee and Nick had chosen this case to get revenge on Fitch.

More quotes from Runaway Jury

Trivia: When Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman have their showdown in the lavatory towards the end, Hackman greets him and says that this is a "long overdue pleasure." This is a reference to the fact that this scene is the first scene ever between Hoffman and Hackman, two former classmates at film school, in their substantial screen careers. Despite being in the industry for decades, and being long-time friends, they had never made a movie together.

Question: I know that Jennifer Beals is not exactly a big star right now, but I was still surprised to see her in such a tiny role...does anyone know if she originally had a bigger scene that was cut?

Answer: Jennifer Beals' role is a bit of a misdirection towards the viewer, a little like Janet Leigh in "Psycho". It misleads the viewer into beleiving she might be crucial to the plot.
