Guilty In 12 Angry Men

Improved Essays
In “12 angry men”, 12 jurors were asked to convict a kid for killing his dad or let him go free. There was many evidences to show the kid was guilty, but juror # 6 was able to debunk every single evidence. I am positive the jurors made a mistake about making fictional reasons to every clue they receive.

I believe this kid is guilty for killing his dad and there’s many evidences to prove that. First, someone heard the kid saying “I’m gonna kill you” from upstairs. Then when the old man came downstairs to his apartment and saw the kid running down the steps away from his door. This alone does not prove his is guilty, but about 4 hours later someone murder the father. This can not be a coincidence that his father died right after the boy yelled

    Have you ever met two different people who are so similar but yet so different? After reading the play “12 Angry Men” by Reginald Rose, I realize that juror #3 and juror #8 are so different but somewhat alike. Even though there is not a lot of similarities between them juror #3 and juror #8 are both somewhat similar they’re both so determined to speak their minds no matter what anyone else says. For example, when everyone was slowing paying attention to juror #8 and trying to understand his perspective on why he didn’t vote guilty in the beginning juror #3 still continued to rant and go against juror #8 because he was so determined to end the deliberation. Another example to support my statement is how juror #3 automatically had everyone’s votes in the beginning without even trying all he did was speak…

    A typical jury is charged with the responsibility of deciding whether a person is guilty or not guilty of what they are charged. We were not a typical jury. Instead of deciding whether or not Oj Simpson is guilty or Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman’s deaths, we decided if he is responsible for the deaths. This changes the dynamic of our jury and the topics that will be discussed.…

    The movie 12 Angry Men really gave me a good understanding of the 6th amendment by providing me with an in depth look into the jury and the deliberation process. The 6th amendment gives everyone the right to being tried by an impartial jury of their peers who are in charge of deciding the verdict. This movie raised a lot of concerns for me because the jury in this movie was not what I would consider to be impartial, nor did I think this jury presumed this boy innocent until proven guilty(burden of proof). What I mean by that is, right when the jurors got into the deliberation room and took a vote right away, 11 out of 12 people found the defendant guilty before even discussing any facts…
