5a

In "twelve angry men" all of the men on the jury come from different backgrounds and lifestyles and this affects their perception of the crime. The men that come from a more poor background can empathize with the accused and understand the way his lifestyle and upbringing are negatively affecting his verdict. The men that are more priveledged or see the boy based on his past mistakes like juror ten, can't understand that the boys innocence is a possability. Each of the jurors life experiences and memories gives them a different view of the facts. While one might see the boys history with knife fighting as concrete evidence that he stabbed his dad, another might see it as the reason he wouldn't have been stupid enough to stab his dad. Every single person sees daily situations through a viewpoint that is influenced by their own life and the things that have happened to them.  Furthermore , when the jurors who can't understand the boys life try to explain it they further mix up the facts by assuming they understand the boy and then explaining the crime based on what they believe to be true. Making assumptions about people and basing facts on those assumptions can lead to biased viewpoints and in this case led to the possability of a wrongful verdict.
