When Juror Eight stood up to all the other jurors in the play, he always stuck to his words. Although he was vastly outnumbered in his unpopular opinion, he always backed it up with unshakable evidence. When others attacked him and told him he was wrong, he calmly listened to what they had to say. Once they were done, he'd contradict them with evidence from the case or how he thought it went (like when he acted out the old man getting to his door). Juror Eight always tested others opinions, and was respectful to others when they didn't agree, but never gave up in his pursuit of justice. He convinced the other jurors that there was reasonable doubt and stuck to his opinion.
When juror 8 questioned the facts of the case, he stood alone, but after making the points that he did, and not judging others for their concerns or their beliefs. He questioned whether they actually pertained to the case, of how it would affect the way the jury would get to a vote. He influenced others to make their own decisions, question their assumptions of the case, and as a group, come to a conclusion; which was "Not Guilty" because of reasonable doubt.
