Part 1 2a

Getting to the bottom of a complex issue takes time and effort. In the play, all of the men, except for one, we're ready to say this was a guilty man. They didn't want to talk about it at all because they were tired and hot. Juror 8 was the only one who actually wanted a conversation about what they had received from the lawyers. He wanted to give the kid a fighting chance, otherwise his life would have been over. Juror 8 eventually begins to sway people over to the not guilty side because over time he begins to put reasonable doubt into their minds. While this took a lot of effort to do, he was willing to because he knew it was the right thing to do. If he were to just give in and not talk about it, the kid would have been doomed but the evidence they found through the length of the play which was valid and proved reasonable doubt in my mind, kept him alive.
