|
Guard: Is there anything wrong, ladies and gentlemen? I heard some noise. |
No. There's nothing wrong. You can take that back. We're finished with it. |
|
|
Six: I think maybe we should try another vote. Mrs. Foreman? |
It's all right with me. Anybody doesn't want to vote? |
|
|
Three: I want an open ballot. Let's call out our votes. I want to know who stands where. |
That sounds fair. Anyone object? All right. I'll call off your jury numbers. I vote guilty. Number two? |
|
|

|
|

|

|
|
Ten: I'll tell you something. The crime is being committed right in this room. |
The vote is six to six. |
|
|
Seven: Why don't we take it in to the judge and let the kid take his chances with twelve other people? |
Six to six. I don't think we'll ever agree--on anything. |
|
|
Nine: The doubt is there, in my mind. |
Maybe we should vote. |
|
|
Ten: I still want to know. Vote on what? |
Are we or aren't we a hung jury? |
|
|
Eight: You mean that we vote yes, we are a hung jury, or no, we are not a hung jury? |
That's just what I was thinking of. |
|
|
Eleven: We can't even agree about whether or not the window should be open. |
Let's make it a majority vote. The majority wins. |
|
|
Four: If seven or more of us vote yes, that we are a hung jury, then we take it in to the judge and tell him that we are a hung jury. |
Right. And if seven or more vote no, that means that we aren't a hung jury, and we go on discussing it. |
|
|
Twelve: Anything to end this. |
Are we agreed then? Seven or more vote yes and we take it to the judge. |
|
|
Three: Let's call our votes out. |
I vote yes, we're a hung jury. Two? |
|
|
Two: No. |

|
|

|
|
Eleven: No. |
Twelve? |
|
|
Three: Oh, no! |
It's six to six. |
|
|
Four: There are some things that I want to find out from those jurors that changed their minds. |
Then we aren't a hung jury--so we go on. |
|
|
Three: This is right. |
We reconstructed the old man getting out of bed and going to the door, and we timed that; now let's reconstruct the actual crime. |
|
|
Four: We're trying to make it clear. One doesn't talk about quality when murder is involved. Well, let's do it. |
About this on the fingerprints--the kid wiped the fingerprints off the knife. Well, what about the doorknob? If I saw a man coming into my home, a man that hated me, and if he was wiping the doorknob with a handkerchief as he came in, it would give me an uneasy feeling. So the doorknobs must have been wiped after the killing, and this too, would take some time. |
|
|
Three: Now we're beginning to make sense in here. |
It seems to be about nine guilty to three not guilty. |
|
|
Eight: That's what I want. |
All right. Let's stop the arguing. Who's got something constructive to say? |
|
|
Two: Do you want me to time this, too? |
Let's hear her. |
|
|
Eight: However, if he were dumb, then why did he make the kind of wound that an inexperienced man would make with a knife? |
I'm not sure I understand. |
|
|
Eight: I want another vote. |
Okay, there'a another vote called for. I guess the quickest way is a show of hands. Anybody object? All right. All those voting not guilty raise your hands. Nine. All those voting guilty. Three. The vote is nine to three in favor of acquittal. |
|
|
Eight: You're alone. |
Eleven votes, not guilty; one, guilty. |
