"...Charles Picerni's direction offers a respectable amount of period correctness, a decent amount of tautness, and apt casting. The gangster (Yancey Dunham) can pass for a gangster, the prosecutor (Don Moss) looks like a prosecutor, and the judge (Michael Bruce at the performance reviewed) looks commanding. Evan Bartoletti's set involves the drab-cocoa paneling of local courtrooms but also seems to fold the audience in its embrace."

"...It's hard to imagine a more perfect director for this project than Charles Picerni, one of the most sought-after action choreographers and directors in film and television. This is his theatrical directorial debut, and he appropriately brings to the material that visual and cursory touch with which he is familiar. And what a fabulous cast and crew he is able to assemble. Sound designer Patrick Kirst takes us back to the 30s and its most provocative and alluring dimensions of sound. Christine Cover Ferro is responsible for the beautiful and authentic costumes."

"...In the final analysis, the testimonies of each side are contradictory (someone must be lying!) and the play leaves us with 12 jurors who are chosen from the audience to decide the fate of Karen Andre. (How distinctive and entertaining!) Therefore, every show can have a different ending. The performances by all of those involved are quite believable (Ann Henson seemed less so in her role as the somewhat jilted bride.) under the direction of Charles Picerni. Others in the large cast included Larrs Jackson as Judge Heath, John Candelaria (Coourt Clerk), Aaron Benore (Court Clerk), Daniel Lee Everson (Bailiff), Steve Peterson (James Chandler) and Dianna Leanne Wilson (Court Reporter)."
