The whole concept of Reasonable Doubt is that you should not vote guilty if there is any "reasonable doubt", no matter how sure other jurors are. In the book 12 Angry Men by Reginald Rose, one of the many themes is reasonable doubt.…

Throughout the play, several jurors give convincing arguments that make one think about whether the boy is “guilty” or “not guilty.” Ultimately, one is convinced by ethos, logos, and pathos.

Although all three modes play a part in convincing Juror #2, pathos is the most influential because…

    The film 12 Angry Men is about a jury who struggles to set aside their individual prejudices to determine the guilt or innocence of a man accused of premeditated murder. The main character is juror #8 who is played by Henry Fonda. The film focuses on labeling theory and how that influences a juror’s opinions and thoughts. It is extremely interesting to watch how most of the jurors had their minds made up about the case even before deliberation; however, as the film progresses the jurors stop labeling the defendant and instead make their verdict decision based on facts. The audience can see from this film that labeling an individual in the 1950’s might have been common, and unfortunately I believe that it still exists in today’s…
