5B - MacKenzie
There are many interpretations of "the facts" because everyone has different ideas of whats the real facts are and what's not. For example if you and 3 other people witnessed a crime and you were asked to give your side of what you saw and give the facts that you know of the crime, what you say may be completely different from what someone else might say. Because what you would consider a fact might not be what someone else would consider a fact. Like in Twelve Angry Men the jurors would disagree on what they thought the true facts were because they had their own opinions on what was true!

This represents the jurors' situation quite well. I feel like the majority of them will gladly see everyone else's point of view, except for juror 3 and for a little bit juror 7. Both would disregard the facts that the other jurors would present to them, and without reason. They don't give a reasonable argument, just, "he's obviously guilty."
ReplyDeleteI agree because it's very hard to be perfectly on the same page as others because our brains process situations differently. Fact and evidence is all evaluated differently by everyone because what might seem like enough proof to call someone guilty to me might not to others. Juror 8 and 3 are a great example because they just don't understand and take in the evidence the right way to juror 8 it's clear but 3 doesn't see anything to make the defendant seem less guilty.
