Guilty or not guilty?

Enter the courtroom, hear the evidence, make your judgement.

A hijacked plane is heading towards a packed football stadium. Ignoring orders to the contrary, a fighter pilot shoots down the plane killing 164 people to save 70,000.

Put on trial and charged with murder, the fate of the pilot is placed in the audience's hands.
