Part 2 6A

In “Twelve Angry Men,” the play is about 12 jurors deciding the fate of a difficult case in the 1950’s. Though the main reason of them discussing the case and reexamining the evidence is because of one juror, juror 8 questions the guilty verdict of all the rest of the jurors claim. The persistence of juror 8’s questions and disproving facts, leads to the eventual verdict of “Not Guilty” because of reasonable doubt. The way that juror 8 was able to sway the rest of the jurors was by simply using his knowledge and questions in order to get the answers that nobody would have guessed or looked for in the first place. His mentality to question everything until there was an answer, lead the other jurors to question the “Guilty” verdict as well, until the very last juror, juror 3. Even though juror 8 probably didn’t know he was, but he was influencing the rest of the jury (men) to make sure that all the evidence pieces together in order for the verdict to be right.
