I know the film is a remake of 12 Angry Men but still.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.
Are you kidding? Of course there is.
shareOops, you're absolutely right. Previously I thought that only one judge/several judges are entitled on the verdict in Russia but after I checked the issue I found that there is also a jury.

I think you mean just "jury". "Grand jury" is something entirely different that has nothing to do with reaching a verdict.
As to juries in Russia, they currently do have them (although the exact rules in the movie have more to do with "12 Angry Men" than with Russia):
The jury trial was introduced by Alexander II in Russia in 1864 as part of the judicial reforms that followed his liberation of the serfs in 1861. ... the institution was implanted mainly in the capital cities of St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Kiev, and did not spread throughout the Empire ... The jury trial was abolished by Lenin and the Bolsheviks in 1917 and was gradually replaced by a mixed court of one professional judge and two "people's assessors" who were jointly responsible for deciding all questions of law, fact, guilt, and punishment. In 1993 the jury trial was preliminarily reintroduced in nine of the eighty-nine political constituents of the Russian Federation. The institution was finally extended to all of Russia, except the Chechen Republic, in 2002-2003.
