Despite his wishes and the fact that he works in law enforcement (something that almost certainly would get him booted off any jury) Jim Rockford is called to jury duty. He's impaneled on the case of George Bassett (Mills Watson), a man charged with murder two in the drunk driving homicide of a woman. The jury votes to convict...all except for one juror, whose "spider sense" is telling him things just don't add up right. There's something wrong with the crime scene. The jury is hung and afterwords, Bassett hires Rockford to help prove him right. Some good comedy moments from Garner, but none of our series regulars are around to help with the exception of Rocky. The episode also suffers from some bad re-dubbing of the girl who claims to be the dead girl's sister. Either her mike wasn't working or she was so bad they had to re-dub all her lines in post. It's kind of distracting. The whole story of what's really going on is also pretty much a stretch once its all explained. But Garner is solid as always.
