While the trial of Luka Rocco Magnotta (featured in the famous documentary *Don’t F**k With Cats*) shook up Montreal, this one is likely to have less of an impact. However, unlike the first trial, you’ll be able to attend and deliver your verdict at the end of the session. The Jury Experience Montréal invites you to take your seat on the jury of a fictional trial and use your own judgment to make a major decision.
You’ll meet at the Centre Mont-Royal, transformed into a courtroom for the occasion, to have the final say in this trial. Within its cozy walls, the atmosphere will be anything but warm, and tension will fill the room.

The Jury Experience – Murder at Sea
Murder at Sea presents you with a fictional case: a nighttime motorboat collision involving a group of friends, one fatality, and another person in a coma. At the center of this drama is the defendant, the son of a powerful politician. Memories clash, accounts differ, and alcohol clouds judgment: accident or murder? Privilege and power color every word; anger rises, then subsides. You evaluate what was seen, what was said, and what suits the narrative. Listen without jumping to conclusions.
Death by AI: Who Pays the Price?
Everything changes when an autonomous vehicle, faced with a split-second decision, avoids a collision on one side and causes a fatality on the other. Not because of a malfunction, but because the system acted exactly as intended. In this case, the evidence does not focus on a malfunction, but on its consequences: throughout the trial, it is up to you, the jury, to weigh this case in which the machine follows its logic, while responsibility is scattered among human decision-making, corporate policy, and technology.
