The courtroom is silent as the jury takes their seats, the weight of their responsibility settling in. In this gripping episode, Juror #11 takes us inside the first day of the trial of State of Tennessee v. Jason Chen, where the prosecution and defense lay out their opening statements, each painting vastly different pictures of what happened to Jasmine Pace. District Attorney General Coty Wamp commands the room, using powerful visuals—including the very suitcase in which Jasmine’s body was found—to drive home the brutality of the crime. The defense, led by Joshua Weiss, counters with a carefully crafted narrative, arguing that Jason Chen’s actions were not premeditated but rather an act of panic. As the prosecution calls its first witnesses, including Jasmine’s mother, the emotional toll of the case becomes undeniable. Tension builds as evidence begins to emerge—surveillance footage, crime scene photos, and chilling details that begin to unravel the truth. This episode immerses listeners in the heart of the courtroom, revealing the strategies, emotions, and pivotal moments that set the stage for what’s to come.
