Here is your chance to actually take part in the jury trial without leaving your own living room, the chance to find out what kind of juror you’d make. Be warned, it states that the verdict will not be heard while the next episode but in fact it is not heard at all on the recordings and was probably announced live on the radio.

It's the year 4000, and the colonization of the planet Mars is a fact. The folks up there aren't much different to those on Earth - except maybe a little wiser. Today's tale is the story of Matt Morrow, editor of the successful telepaper The Morrow News, and of what happened after a strange little man walked into his office, wearing a shiny blue suede suit and a straw hat - the kind that went out of fashion on Earth hundreds of years ago. The strange man was little, he was incongruous, and he was frightened.

Did you ever have a dream in which you were running and running, running away from some grotesque horrible thing that was after you to kill you? And you scream and you keep running it runs too and no matter how you run, how fast you run it’s still after you. This thing, this thing runs fast and you can’t get away from it no matter where you turn. When you wake up you know you’ve been dreaming but the sweat soaks your body like a wet shroud and your heart beats wildly and you find it’s a silkscreen because even though you’re awake that thing is still there in the room with you. It clings like a leech.
Listen then to this story of a man and of a leech he couldn’t get away from but in this story the Leech was dead and it was human…

A mid fields of clover,
'T was just a little over a hundred years ago,
A handful of strangers,
they faced many dangers to make their country grow,
It's now quite a nation of wond'rous population,
And free from every king,
It's your land, it's my land,
A great do or die land,
And that's why I sing.
From all sorts of places,
They welcomed all the races to settle on their shore,
They didn't care which one,
The poor or the rich one,
They still had room for more,
To give them protection,
By popular election,
A set of laws they chose,
They're your laws and my laws,
For your cause and my cause,
That's why this country rose.
America, I love you,
You're like a sweetheart of mine,
From ocean to ocean,
For you my devotion, is touching each bound'ry line,
Just like a little baby,
Climbing it's mother's knee,
America, I love you,
And there's a hundred million other's like me.
