Pacing Verdict

The screenplay maintains strong narrative momentum through its central moral dilemma, with the courtroom scenes and Justin's internal conflict creating a taut, forward-driving tension. Dialogue is efficiently crafted, balancing rapid exchanges in deliberation scenes with more deliberate, weighty pauses in Justin's personal moments. While the third act resolves somewhat quickly after the verdict, the pacing overall is excellent, with only minor rhythm issues in the transition from trial to post-trial consequences.
