2b-ERICA H
Any issue, even a small one, can take a lot of time and energy, but the potential consequences of the decision truly dictates the care that is taken when considering a choice. Juror 8, who starts out as the only juror even interested in trying the boy not guilty, states "there's a life at stake here."(Rose#18). Of course not every life situation will be so risky, but the size and severity of a consequence, especially if it greatly affects yourself or another person, will most likely be the ultimate factor in deciding how much thought you put into an issue.

I agree with what you are saying about how when there's more at stake, other's will put more time into looking into the details. This moment in the play is a significant one, because it shows the start of juror eight's confidence. Throughout the play, juror eight is going against the other jurors. With time, and good reasoning, juror eight convinces all the jurors to being not guilty. The moment that juror eight goes against most of the crowd is foreshadowing what juror eight's actions will be like in the future.
