In the beginning of the play, the jurors obviously want a quick verdict that will allow them to move on from the experience, go home and go back to their lives. Though this becomes the opposite of this, as soon as the voting ends up as an unbalanced verdict and causes an outbreak of questioning and going over the evidence, and after relentless arguments and having the evidence re-examined, it leads to the verdict of 12 “Not Guilty.” The only way they got to this verdict was through taking the effort of questioning the holes in the crime, disproving the old man’s witness statement of the timing, disproving the old woman’s witness statement of seeing the defendant kill the victim, without her glasses, and also recreating the actual crime. The timing in the play of how long the verdict took to come to agreement is not exact. But the time to read and act the play, made it seem to take longer for the jury to reach a verdict. The fact that the jurors even argued whether or not that they were a hung jury, took time itself.
