The case in the movie is between the gun corporation and Dustin Hoffman, who is defending a woman whose husband was killed by a gun wound. I think that Dustin Hoffman is going to win because usually the good guy wins in movies. The movie makes him out to be the good guy because when offered to buy the jury he immediately denies it. He seems to have good morals and is against huge gun corporations that have become very corrupt and sell guns illegally. Also, he seems like the under dog and in most movies I have seen, the under dog wins.
I don't think that the gun corporation will win because they hired a guy named Rankin Fitch to assure that the case will go in their favor. Rankin is displayed as a cunning and coniving guy. He illegally filled the court room with electronic devices so him and his staff could closely hear and see what is occuring in the room. Since he doesn't seem to mind commiting illegal acts and is backed by billion dollar gun corporations, he seems very prone to buying the jury so the court rules in his favor.

I agree with this because typically the good guy wins in movies. Rankin Fitch is depicted as a very coniving guy who doesn't deserve to win the case at all. Also in a lot of movies, the under dog wins. The underdog in this movie is Dustin Hoffman who is in a case against the huge gun corporations.
