Part 1- 6A
Test others opinions, question their assumptions, and draw your own conclusions. Others opinions shouldn't matter to anyone. They didn't matter to Juror 8 in Twelve Angry Men. He stood up for the boy who had nothing to say for himself in a room of people who were mostly deciding his fate based on a stereotype. He knew if he presented his doubts, he probably wasn't going to get a positive response and he didn't, but he stood his ground. He questioned the other Jurors stereotypes and prejudice because he felt he was the only advocate for the boy. The boy had made mistakes, but Juror 8 knew he probably didn't commit this crime, so drew his own conclusion and tried to convince others of his conclusion of not guilty.
